Story

133 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story provided was certainly a surprise, as I didn't really expect much from that front with how showcased the visuals are.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
100 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In the campaign, gameplay typically revolves around being in a mecha while occasionally hopping out to check out some things on foot, but there are some interesting surprises and the game never feels completely glued to the action presented in videos, which is extremely interesting when it occurs in-game.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is fun and frantic though I do wish certain aspects of it were more responsive...
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I was at first worried a bit by the lack of difficulty settings, but the game provides an adequate challenge and feeling of badassery on the first run worthy of its spiritual predecessors.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In detail, the visuals are pretty solid, it looks good, the core gameplay is decent, has a few parts that pull you out of that flow sometimes... but overall it's pretty good and has some basic levels of polish above some other games out there.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack complements the action well, alternating between intense battle themes and quieter moments that allow the story to breathe.
