it gets bonus points for doing a combined setting where everything pre-existed again instead of doing the "oh no all these unconnected series fell out of conveniently placed holes in space/time" thing they've been doing since Z2/L... and then the dlc dropped and lmao... but man...
modern srw attack animations aren't nearly as cool as they used to be, the detail level of the sprites stops them from moving around much and 80% of it is done with cut-ins and then there's gridman who's entirely just reanimated scenes from the anime with the enemy sprite in place of the kaiju

oh also it's been infected by the "everything is an open world videogame now" thing so it's extremely open ended and things get disjointed and there's like twice as many missions as a normal one of these would have had
