really satisfying combat and movement which gets even more fun with the great variety of customization. It did sometimes feel like u could just stick with one build by the end of the game, but going for the S-rank missions made it so that I had to really optimize my ac for the mission which was a little like a puzzle which was fun.

The story really exceeded my expectations by being more interesting than I thought it was going to be. Also the ng+ and ng++ makes it even more interesting and is a great implementation of ng+ (the story overall has that fromsoft feeling to it which I really really like). The art style is really cool even though it did feel a little same-y at times but overall it is really cool and also mechs <3.

The only negatives imo is that sometimes your ac would cover up attacks and other things which made u take unnecessary damage and stuff, also some attacks feel impossible to completely dodge or just not clear on how to dodge (mostly noticeable melee attacks) though might be skill issue.

I really liked 100% the game but the difficulty of getting S-ranks did seem a little off with some being too generous and others being really strict, would rather prefer if it was a little stricter on the more generous ones but I don't really mind it tbh, just felt a little surprised sometimes when getting an S-rank on an attempt not thinking it would be it.
