I REALLY love this game this is the first one I have played but I play a bit of everything.
The story is alright its enough to keep me from not caring but not to much to make it my only focus, the side contracts are all the same in 6 different versions with 10 different factions that can be involved but the change up between the mech rarities and types and ways to go about the objections make it worth wild.
I see people say the enemies are bullet sponges and so on, but that is not the case depending on how you play and your weapons and your team composition it can make most missions relatively easy once you get the hang of it.
With being able to pick your weapons, mechs, and pilots the game play gets better seeing you AI teammates actually follow your instructioms just completely whip out one enemy after the other.
I have over 75hrs into this game and it's just making me wanna play more and more the only downside is if your in for a quick game this isn't for you it can be overwhelming just looking at the galaxy map.
Worth the time and effort if your looking for a big robot battle game will keep you coming back more and more, currently playing on the series X and I have no frame drops, good graphics and controls are comfortable
