Story is TRASH. No question about it (I suspect time or financial issues caused a lot of content to be cut, or shortened up to meet deadlines, frankly the campaign itself is a frankenstein of like 30 different miniplots that don't go anywhere).
It's fucking pretty. Glorious framerate up to 200 FPS, can almost run excellently on a toaster (read: a decent cheap computer). Mouse aim, which is a BLESSING for a fast paced boosting everywhere kind of game (you can play it slow if you want to as well, fat boy builds DO work).
And all the budget that they had went into the actual combat and gameplay. They skimped on the sound design (bullet guns sound WEAK, no BRRRT here, only pop pop pop). But what is there is polished to an insane degree, I suspect they wanted to add way more given there's a handful of hidden stats (Stealth, STM cooldown after using all of it, and a few other things).
Basically, if you like to play skinner boxes and you like armored core 4/4a (it does have some AC2 and 3 flavor in there with different sights and part destruction) it'll hit the spot. Especially if you're a min-maxing autist. There's 5 levels of attachments to fill up to 3 slots in every single piece of gear. And there's quite a few attachment types.
