When I played the first I was immensely disappointed by it, it had all the ingredients of a great mecha game but it just felt so fucking shit in so many ways like the actual game part of it was a complete after-thought. When I saw this sequel going for powered armor I had a glimmer of hope because I thought the devs had realized the deep flaws of their designs but nope, it really felt like everything wrong with the first game now in a big map. Yay.

Like sure I'm no mecha game buff but how could I be? This genre is just so fucking cursed, nothing can ever be really good for once.
Gundam Evolution despite being Overwatch with dashes was pretty nice but Bamco pulled the plug before any of its shortcomings could be fixed, Mecha Break feels real fucking great for once but despite having the potential for proper PvE or story mode they bet on extraction bullshit and the shittiest most retarded matchmaking engagement bullshit of filling ranked with bots boosting everyone into the highest ranks, meanwhile AC6 fell harder for the stupid trend of "this other bar may as well be the boss's actual HP bar" harder than anyone else in the industry.
It's all just so tiresome, man.
