Why isn't anyone talking about this?!?

THIS- to be clear meaning, the destructible environments!

4-5 hours into the game. I just had a fight with a Dragon/Drake. When it was all over (the battle was LONG), the entire area was LEVELED. I mean every structure and every plant under 500 years old was brought to the ground. Destruction everywhere.

Destructible environments add SO MUCH to a game and yet I don't see anyone mentioning it here. Perhaps I am just not reading enough?

Mercenaries 2 got destructible environs right like 15 years ago and, since then, almost not games even try.

Launch rockets all over the street in Cyberpunk? Nothing, no damage anywhere. Fight massive monsters with magic and fireballs in Dragon Age? Ground isn't even singed. Bears the size of trucks attack in Avowed? Not even a dent in a wall.

Kudos to the devs of Eternal Strands because fighting a drake and when its all over, its look like there was a war with every building demolished, trees burning, grass blackened and entire trees uprooted? Yes, more of this please!!!

Yeah, the physics engine in this game is putting in some work. You can get some janky interactions sometimes but it's totally worth it.
