This game is too anime and not mecha enough.

Robots feel clunky and unresponsive (and not in a realistic way either), weapons deal no damage to "other players" and absolutely destroy cannon fodder.
There's close to no feedback when dealing and taking damage.

The variety of armor/weapons is severely lacking especially in early game.
I had to change equipment exactly one time for a mission that was basically a race.

Story cycles through every anime trope in existence and goes nowhere. There are multiple moments where it felt like there's some grand reveal which is then completely ignored. Also, every time anything story related happens it slows the game to a crawl

Gonna revisit this when I beat the game (70% in atm)



Edit after beating the game:

You know how you lose interest in some games and stop playing them? This game actively hurt me by it's mediocrity. I finished it out of spite just to make sure there's no redeeming qualities. The wasted potential and all the resources that went into making the game make me angry

Yep, exactly how I felt. I this game was the biggest disappointment at a time where Armored Core was believed to be a dead franchise. Made me hate it for that reason.
