Technically very good, looks like a good use of engine and art direction. However, as an extraction shooter that requires slow and tactical gameplay, it has an uphill battle to make people stick around and it better offer a huge pool of game-changing loot or it will have 30k max daily players. Also, the robot enemies don't look like something you'd want to shoot at for a 100 hours, Helldivers 2 has two (about to become three) completely distinct enemy factions, one with blood and guts and the environments change all the time.
I really think they shot themselves in the feet by going from a pve online coop game like Helldivers to whatever this is trying to be, that plus the pricing chance (it was supposed to be f2p and is now 40)...
Then again, I don't know what's up internally, they probably know what they're doing, it still feels like it's not going to be popular
