Loved this game with a couple really egregious exceptions. This game hooked me at Balteus and then completely lost me at CEL 240. Do not play this game with mouse and keyboard, some late game bosses become extremely difficult without hard lock.
I'm starting to really dislike From Soft's boss design philosophy. CEL 240 and Ayre both suffer from the same design of, "I'm going to fly 720 degrees around you at mach 5, while chipping away at you with an endless barrage of missiles. If you so much as dare to get hit by one of my stronger attacks, you will unfortunately have to try again." Balteus was extremely manageable once you realized you just needed to be aggressive and use a shield shredding weapon. The other more difficult bosses just feel like RNG.
Everything else about the game was superb though. Soundtrack, customization, and combat were all amazing. You could spend hours customizing your mech in really crazy ways, I've seen some amazing designs.
CEL 240 just sucked all of my enjoyment out of the game near the end. I tried it for a while with my standard build and then realized I just didn't want to spend the time on this shit. Switched to double Zimmerman and breezed past it.
Real bummer that a couple of those bosses are just way too overtuned. Even Sea Spider was totally fine, I don't know why they nerfed that and Balteus but left CEL and Ayre alone.
