    I can't believe this is an Armored Core game.
    It just feels like Sekiro/Dark Souls/Elden Ring/Bloodbourne/*insert Souls copy*, but with mechs—complete with relying on 'dodge' as the primary way to avoid damage.

    But the forced bossfights that play like a Dark Souls game—including for some reason a drone boss having a fireblade attack because FromSoftware can't make bosses that don't use melee—just utterly ruin the experience.
