    I was pretty disappointed with this game. It just felt like I was doing the same thing over and over on a small map.

    Eventually? I got to some boss that I couldn’t kill and ran out of ammo.

    I’m probably playing it wrong, but I expected a lot more.

      I hit a couple walls like that but I had fun with this game. I appreciate that it encouraged me to rework my build to fit the mission or encounter.

      In the souls series and the like, you’re encouraged (and somewhat forced) to pick a build and commit to it. Gear is expensive to upgrade, many of the best weapons have high stat requirements, and respecs are limited.

      With Armored Core I felt like they wanted me to constantly rebuild my mech. They’re pretty generous with the currency so I was able to build up a huge stock of parts without much trouble. They also give the option to rework your mech whenever you die. If a boss gave me trouble I could usually pivot without restarting the whole mission
