Great core campaign. Controls feel perfect, visuals are impressively distinct for the setting & somehow this has the least performance issues of any modern fromsoft game.
However the enemy ACs are way too weak compared to the big boss fights. This undermines the character personalities & Armored Core being all about personalized unique AC builds since when you fight the given examples it's just fluff.
Multiplayer environment, Weapon balance, S-ranking system & overall post-game content seem very underwhelming (especially compared to Verdict Day).
Hoping these get fleshed out for this game to have more lasting appeal. The devs did repeatedly say this focuses on the main campaign. By series tradition AC6.5 could expand on all these aspects and be really amazing.
If the multiplayer & balance in 6.5 was brought up to spec with ACVD fans would easily stick around playing it for a decade constantly adjusting ACs for team builds just like that game.
