Probably one of the best-written, atmospheric Armored Core games that Fromsoft has made in a long time, the last time being Last Raven for me.

Needs more parts and weapon buffs/nerfs and it'd be the perfect one, maybe some boss tuning, but I honestly can't fault them for the bosses since they haven't had to try and balance Armored Core movement and combat around a boss that wasn't an AC since Verdict Day which was made 10 years ago, and they've been stuck on having to do stuff for humanoids using the Souls movement system.

To all of the people who're struggling with the game, remember that there's no shame in replaying missions to get money for new parts, or experimenting with new builds at the checkpoints, or taking breaks if it's frustrating you.

My only major complaint is that the game needs a few optimization patches to prevent driver crashes/regular crashes. I haven't touched the Multiplayer yet so I can't comment on meta builds being used all around but I do know it's happening.
