This game has a great world and atmosphere and cool Mech building. I also like the 'Handler' and 'Hound' dynamic and the way they set up the missions on the ship. These are the things that pulled me into the game.

At the same time, I experience a lot of frustration when playing the game. Sadly, more than I would like.

My biggest issues:

• Enemy balancing is weird: regular enemies are made of cardboard and die in 2 seconds, while bosses are near godlike. Zones with enemies feel like pure filler this way (even though they look gorgeous).
• The missions are often too short, too repetitive and they reuse a lof of the zones as well.
• The camera is super close on the mech and there are no options to zoom out. This often blocks the view in combat.
• Bosses constantly fly at high velocity out of your field of view. I have a feeling I'm fighting the camera more than the bosses.
• There are no skill checks in the game, only gear checks. Every boss can be melted with the right gear or seem impossible with the wrong gear.

I've played through it twice now, to get both endings. I found the story interesting enough to do so, but beating annoying bosses only felt like a relief, it never felt good or fulfilling. I did not feel like I had overcome a challenge but just tried often enough with the right weapons. (Unlike a Souls game, where I do get that feeling)

Overall I'm still positive, though there are some small adjustments that would make a world of difference (the camera especially)

What are your thoughts on this game?
