The "people" ( game journalists and kojima wankers ) aren't right in the head.
I'd say it's pretty decent during all the fights against normal enemies but the further you progress the more the bosses give you a hard time enjoying anything. You're getting all those new frame augmentation you thought you'd play with and when dueling you notice how the combat design is restricted to doing only what the devs planned. I'm not shocked by the camera, I don't get why everyone's throwing hands in the air and acting uppity about the camera. That's a regrettable but manageable oversight. What I can't fathom is the limitations of the boss fights and how it's all style over substance, and how every fans drool on Kojimbo's peeker.
AC6 tool the same direction with one main beam supporting the full structure and reducing secondary tools and emergent play to a joke: it's all melee and stagger. Now I suspect that Yamamura was a fan of ZOE.

Don't be surprised that the mech genre is dead when this is the kind of shit you mold brain are pushing forth.
