Downloaded it on the X yesterday and was blown away.
The cut scenes are lame, they looked more fleshed out in the trailer. But the gameplay itself was satisfying as hell. The enemy are garden variety vermin but it's all so much fun and absolutely beautiful. Will get this upon release, haven't been this satisfied by a game (albeit demo) in donkey years.

Just tried it, and it looked much better than I expected on the Xbox One S.

I had trouble with the camera while walking around at first (FOV too zoomed in) but then it fixed itself during battle and it seemed similar to DMC4 on that regards.

Glad that Nero retained his revving / exceed mechanics from that game too.

In case you missed that in DMC4, the exceed gauge is normally charged by pressing LT multiple times (gives more powerful and extended combos) but the more practical way to charge it is by pressing LT just when Nero swings the sword during a combo. Example:

Y > Y > LT (needs timing) > Y > Y > Y > Y

You can change the attack on which you press LT for different combo variations, or do it multiple times during the same combo if you can. Can also be done during airial combos.

You can see some examples here (the flame attacks mean he is using the exceed gauge)
