The gameplay is tough, but fun when you get the hang of it. Expect to die, a lot. If you're looking for a more casual, easy experience then this game isn't it, but if you're someone like me who likes a challenge in video games, this is one of the best experiences out there.

The story, while occasionally nonsensical at times, is great too, and even if you're an entirely new individual to the Armored Core series (like me) you don't need to know any prior lore. The story seems very self-contained in that regard, explaining the few similarities between it and previous installments, and then creating its own identity after that.

Overall a 10/10. Still on NG+, but you can believe I'll be trying to 100% this game.
