Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
It has a pretty long and fun to play campaign (except the on-foot mission with stealth), with 1 very big fault.
179 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
The game also has a PvP mode that I personally dislike, the music for it is really nice but theres very few maps, too many mechs are locked behind a grind xp fest and has no bots to fight against.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Using techniques that flash animation made popular when the internet was a baby, 90% of the game's assets are detailed, high resolution pieces that, usually (there are occasional exceptions), hold up to scrutiny when the game zooms in for dynamic closeups during gameplay.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The story provided was certainly a surprise, as I didn't really expect much from that front with how showcased the visuals are.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
There was a fair amount of letdown on launch (see all negative reviews) in that the game did not feature online PVE/coop for the ability to use these mechs in singleplayer content, which brings us to the biggest hype/letdown/work in progress about this game, the multiplayer.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack and main theme of the game are really good and excite-inducing during combat.
