just once in my fucking life I want a mech game that doesn’t look like this
i just want a game that understands the mech as a metaphor for the self, as a way to explore the characters’ inner emotional conflict through their idealized form they are forced to take for external conflict. why is that this fucking difficult for games to actually do. Xenogears is still fucking lapping you guys
If you want a game that really plays with the concept of Mech as an extension of self and isn't afraid to get into deep or terrifying territory, may I recommend Heaven Will Be Mine? It's a visual novel that follows the path of three young pilots in extremely experimental mechs battling to decide the future of humanity, and also they're all lesbians. There's not much in terms of playing the mechs directly, but what it has to say about being a mech pilot and the effects it has on you are like nothing else I've experienced.
Also if you've ever played We Know the Devil it's quietly a sequel to that game, somehow.
Highly recommended, is my point
