I actually really liked the game. It is a really cool 3D metroid-style game.
But it goes FULL metroid-style. Never go full metroid-style!
Instead of being able to change all your different robot companions on the go easily, just like your gun shots, the game wants you to go (or fast travel) to certain spots in the map so you can change your companions because for some reason you can only have 2 at the same time. That's so tedious!
But sure, ok, you put up with all the repeated gameplay, all the tedious build-making, going to spots just so you can change your companions, grinded all the challenging dungeons... and what happens??

You beat the final boss, sure sure sure cool cool cool. Oh there's a door after him that you have to go through. Oh it does not open tho. It wants you to put certain number of cores on it to open, which you still are not even close to that number after all that grinding and doing side stuff. It wants you to complete the 100% of the fucking map (Oh and oh boy oh boy, it does not take a quick second or something. To do this you have to put AT LEAST the same amount of time to get to this point so the "final" boss is actually the "halfway" point of the game? Make it make sense)!! And I mind you, the door is not for getting to the final boss fight, it is after the final boss fight, it is just to get the credits... WOW yeah no thanks!
