Man my dream for this game is that it expands the combat and has a structure similar in ways to Tomb Raider / GoW / JFO but I know better than to expect that
Judging by the gameplay trailer
I just want to see some real in game footage now.
The trailer we saw before was all real in game footage.
Yeah probably not. I expect it will be a lot like the first one.
Hellblade 2 team is still very small. While I think the game will be a massive upgrade over the first one, I don’t expect it to be close to Tomb Raider or GoW in terms of scope.
I would be happy with improved combat and bigger areas to explore.
I guess or at least hope he means proper core loop gameplay and not just what we saw, which indeed was in-game, but barely any gameplay actually happened in the whole thing outside walking/running and throwing an occasional spear again and again. That certainly wasn’t the actual core loop gameplay and more of a set piece section.
Rhani Tucker is involved with the combat so I am expecting some improvement on that front, compared to the original. I don’t really expect it to be combat focused though. HellBlade clearly have different goals compared to GOW. They did talk about the combat being much more brutal though.
Oh I thought it was in-engine? I’ll have to find that to have another look 
That I would love. This game oozes dark, gritty, brutal in the trailers. Give me some truly visceral combat, would love it.
I would love if they go a bit further in terms of player freedom, basically being able to jump or just more abilities in terms of movement.
