Phenomenal mech game, cleanly befitting its pedigree. An admirable return from obscurity, and fully worthy entry into the series that hopefully breaths new life into the genre. Fromsoft managed a great return to form with this entry. Would be a 5 if not for a handful of middling boss deigns, regrettably bogging down some mission bookends with just a few too many tired, long worn tropes from Fromsofts sister series. Thankfully these were few and far between, and demonstrate a welcome willingness of Formsoft to commit to the spirit of their beloved and long running franchises, even if they're in a position where they can't entirely shed the decisions that birthed the Souls cult fanaticism. (Except for Tenchu, Rest in Peace. Thankfully this game isn't a Sekiro situation, despite having its same director.)
