So dumb... I love it. Fights are simple but fun, gameplay is unique (yes, even though it's considered whats-its-name with guns), and does what it says on the box.

Things I wish to see:
+++ Procedurally generated worlds - if I visit friends servers, it'd be cool to see new spaces
++ In line with the above - not all pals can be found on all maps (subject to settings), to encourage multiplayer
++ More building variety - I know it's not voxel based or anything, but man I wish I could build a basement
+ More unique lucky pals - colors maybe?

Did I finish it? No. Did I enjoy it? Yes. Avid fan of the series since the start, and there's sooo much freaking stuff to do; you'll never get bored, only burnt out xD

Solid gunplay that feels super unique to the genre - always on the edge of my seat in every match. Special events are also pretty tight! Free gamepass is good, don't bother with the paid.

Short, sweet, simple, horrifying - It's like someone took my childhood bedtime stories and decided to have me relive my trauma.

I've never had this much fun playing dress up before!

Also, don't dump vigor...

I suck at this game...

I love it.

Nails online co-op, turning space mining into a complete cluster♥♥♥♥ with friends. Deep dives are challenging, demanding teamwork that feels rewarding. Solo gameplay is tight; but, surprisingly, pick-up games deliver solid allies, making even random matches feel like a well-oiled machine. It's multiplayer gold (pun intended)

Basically a space-themed heart attack simulator. The xeno's got a PhD in jump scares and makes every shadow your worst enemy. The atmosphere is thick enough to slice and serve on toast, like the designers asked, 'How can we make them sweat more?' And if you're dumb enough to try it in VR, congratulations on your newfound insomnia with the fan-made VR mod; it's horror, it's chaos, it's a beautifully terrifying mess. Only regret that there hasn't been another game like it, since. Just go ahead and play already.

Edit: Anyone else wish there was a "We Were Here" type game set in the Alien-verse?

So let me start off by saying I do recommend this game, but I don't recommend it to people who play the games I play on a regular basis. YMMV of course.

Likes:
+++ Gameplay is fun and immersive, super unique in the space genre
++ Art direction is simple and clean, and I love it
++ Ship customization is in-depth
+ Audio is pretty tight

Dislikes:
-- Gameplay is sloooow - not a bad thing for some, but I cannot stay focused/engaged long enough
- Difficult to master - I enjoy the learning aspect, and the tutorials were great, but felt like I didn't really grasp enough to excel

If you like slower tactical games and space games to boot, you'll love it - I wish I could enjoy it more myself, it's just such a cool concept.

It's giant mechs wrecking other mechs - and it's true to the Armored Core spirit of gameplay. It's far more elevated with some top tier voice acting, some epic anime-esque bossfights, and tight online mode. Highly recommend no-lifing this.
