I played the game at 3440x1440 on Ultra settings and averaged 105.5 FPS with occasional dips and stuttering during conflicts where multiple vehicles or mechs exploded at one time. I did have some freezing and hangups when interacting with the menus at times.

I only encountered some minor bugs or odd issues which included being stuck on terrain (x2), falling through the map (x1), AI tracking and chasing through multiple walls and pursuing after breaking multiple sight lines. The enemy AI does need vastly more work as it does a significant amount of funneling, stopping, hanging up, waiting for reform into a formation, breaking formation and freezing in a single area rather than patrolling.

The overall feel on the game is heavy and slow, from character movement to camera control everything feels slow and heavy which I disliked initially but after a few hours I had easily adjusted to it. The gunplay isn't bad but does leave something to be desired at times it does feel exceptionally hollow and bland for a large number on weapons.

The water system is a great idea, awfully executed. As there really isn't anything that you do with the water besides have some unlock requirements for upgrading your innards (base/hub) in its current state it just feels pointless and unrewarding to interact with.

There a numerous elements in place that exist but feel very raw, I appreciate them existing but feel it would have been better to leave them excluded until they were more fleshed out and completed.

The atmosphere, art style, music, and concept are unique and beautiful. I can't fault anything from the art department of this game.

I have high hopes because the devs have talked the talk, I'm hoping they can walk the walk.
