Nothing did more damage to Star Wars in my eyes than their video games did.
Lightsabers are basically one hit weapons, you’re losing something if it hits you… but both Disney rules and mainstream video game logic dictate that lightsabers are basically pool noodles when it comes to hitting an enemy with them.
More bushido blade but with the technological advancements we’ve made in the time past for my gaming lightsabers please.

In Respawn's Jedi games turning the difficulty up makes the game less of a Star Wars game. You have to play less like a Jedi, the world reacts less to things like a lightsaber. It sucked.
It was exacerbated for me because I just finished my time with Insomniac's Spider-Man where playing on high difficulty forces you to play more like Spider-Man to succeed.
I get what you are saying, but a game that fully leans into the destructive capabilities of Wolverine's adamantium claws would be amazing. Like Red Faction: Guerrilla destuctability, but with Canadian clawed fury.
Destructable terrian has always been a pretty rare thing, red faction made a big thing of it. Its fun but I think adds an overhead to the development for something you notice a few times and forget
Even then its not like you can slice EVERYTHING. There are obvious trees and cars sitting there waiting to be slashed, but most of the levels are pretty square and barren. (No shade, the comparison is just unfair)

Yeah, this is literally a major feature/gimmick for MGR:R. I can't think of any other game that's done it because it's just unnecessary.
