Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
edit: one gripe on it now that i think about it some more, it's too "sanitized" to the point it's uncanny; most other mech games ive enjoyed are gritty and weighty, they got a lot of impact on the mech, whether it be the sound design, the mech themselves, or the feedback of controlling the mech. this COULD be a new direction to head the game towards but its, not even in a derogatory way, nauseating to watch. literally feels like im getting flashbanged by the color palette. maybe a seizure warning would be nice
