Looks very realistic, here's the same location in Google Street View https://goo.gl/maps/q2qrUGSoFEouq3Kj6

It honestly would pass for a recorded video at twitter's resolution... if it wasn't for the character animations looking decidedly average and robotic.
It does look great. The water, particularly with the boat going through it, is what I noticed first. I spend a lot of time in boats and around water, so it's always one of the first things I see in graphical simulations.
Comparing the photo and the game the other thing I’d say is that the game actually looks too clean in comparison to reality.
Does the game have too few bikes compared to Google Street View?
I thought it looked like some characters and animations superimposed on google street view
The scale seems off.
It's more claustrophobic than Amsterdam generally appears to be IRL, and my guess is that this level of detail requires such environments, as it always has traditionally, since in large open spaces you have to compromise.
