Was playing it on the PC last night and really enjoyed it, gameplay is fun and the soundtrack is brilliant. For those who don't like vocals in the soundtrack you can even turn those off.
Bonus points for being set in an alternate version of where I live!
Series X - didn't get much past the first section, it seems to run mostly smooth but with perceptible stutter (frametime spikes I'm guessing) - dependent on how sensitive you are to it it might be something you don't notice. The resolution mode is horrible as you say.
Initially gave it a C but realised the headache I had didn't help, so changed to a B. Solid enough with expectations set appropriately. I would have probably put game pass announcement at the end too.
Redfall is coming out on my birthday so that's a nice surprise.
For optimisation I'd prefer res to scale down rather than FPS drops or screen tearing.
As for the game (understandably) slowing down when crazy levels of Slimes are on the screen, how about an option so that say 100 pink slimes can be represented as 1 slightly bigger and markedly different one.
@Fiendish-Beaver I played it a little on the PC but it ran really badly on my laptop (1060ti 6gb) so not sure why. It seems like a good game, didn't know it was coming to console so looking forward to it.

Re: 'Homestead Arcana' Is Your Latest Xbox Game Pass Addition (April 21)
Was looking forward to this but sadly it feels like an early access title at the moment. The performance is awful.
Re: Redfall Will Only Run At 30FPS When It Launches On Xbox Series X And S

Re: These Nine Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (January 25 - February 7)

Re: These Seven Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (August 2-11)

I'd take 1080p in order to guarantee 60fps before the inevitable swathe of patches.
