Great game, fun time, pretty difficult. They've tweaked the stealth that people are referring to over the course of several months through patches, but definitely a game to play even without a sale. The story is pretty good imo, and you'll keep playing with a good soundtrack as well.

After having s ranked every mission, gotten all achievements, and finished the story, I can safely say that this game is amazing. The bosses may be difficult at first, but there is some skill and a bit of a learning curve to beating them. Some weapons and loadouts are better than others, but all-in-all the gameplay and fast pace this game offers for a mech game is great. Being my first entry into the Armored Core series, From Soft did well in hooking me into the series.

Good game, has a good main story with decent replayability to get all the blood codes and endings. Right now, the deluxe edition is on sale so I suggest getting it to get the extra Astrea blood code, alternate Mia, and DLCs. Although the DLCs are a bit lackluster in terms of content, you get a decent amount of weaponry, blood veils, and blood codes from it; some of which are better than the base game counterparts. The bosses from these games also have a few allusions to other games, namely God Eater, if you're a fan of those games too.

In regards to difficulty, I would compare it to the similar playing souls-like games if playing without a companion solo. With a companion, it's easier to an extent, granted you know how to pick up dodging and memorizing boss mechanics. In tangent to companions, multiplayer co-op makes this easier as well, if your summon can also make use of their revive skills for you and vice versa. Do note that difficulty doesn't scale up with number of members in the instance, or at least minimally and barely noticeable, but they still hold their own even without the scaling. Additionally, if you get a "cancelling distress signal" error when trying to join other players, there's a bug where you'll have to unequip all gifts and skills on other blood codes you aren't using, then it'll work (stupid, yes I know).

For those achievement hunters, a word to the wise regarding ng+ enhanced difficulty: the hp and damage of enemies are scaled exponentially and harder to kill to the point where they one shot if you don't play it safe. Recommendation is to get all your upgrade materials and upgrade your weapons prior to going to NG+. I also recommend backing up a save while you're on NG in case you wanted to grind endings. One of the achievements requires you to farm for 400 co-op tokens as well, so be ready to either grind it out with a friend or farm a certain endgame location for them over and over (I'm actually working on these myself right now).

Additionally, the character customization is absolutely great, you can modify just about anything for your character. It's not as in-depth as black desert online's customization but it has a lot of features.

I also recommend bringing a controller to play this game as it'll make your life much easier. As with any souls-like games controller is the preferred method for me at least.

Aside from that, the game is great, I definitely recommend getting it while it's on sale as it has a great story (it can get a bit confusing at times though).

Good game.

I combine this with Rainmeter to have anime desktop and waifus.

It's pretty fun and faster paced than the other games. It's story is shorter though.

I would say badly optimized for now, but as future patches come, it should be well fixed. Some issues that are known would be the "white screen" where the game white (or black) screens while the game is running. Unfortunately, it will cause you to restart the game, unless you have photographic memory or while you are in the world and be lucky enough to know how to save from that point. TL:DR high chance of getting "white screened" before first save
As mentioned before, there is a 60 fps cap, along with a 30 fps cap for cutscenes (I believe). Too lazy to go into other specifics, but that's what most stood out to me.

However, gameplay is amazing, feels like an extremely open-world/freestyle movement and combat system with various customization options. Of course, due to the issues listed above, I can't confirm some of it, but it's my opinion from a first-look blind playthrough. Graphics are also phenomenal <insert 2B butt meme here>, and I would assume this only complements the story even further.
Will update as I playthrough, but as for now, until the issues making the game slightly unplayable are fixed, you should wait for a patch before playing.
