Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion's explosive anime mech battles are surprisingly improved by an open world with nothing in it but odd jobs and vibes

The last thing I expected out of a mech game was to be reminded of World of Warcraft, but Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is just as interested in letting you lazily explore its open world as it is slicing enemies apart with energy swords.

If you ignore the Iron Man-style mech suit, Titanic Scion is an MMO with dozens of tasks to do around its oversized levels. It was technically even possible for other players to join me in the preview build I played, but I wasn't lucky enough to find a buddy in the several hours I spent with it. I did, however, find outposts created by other players, one of which was right next to an NPC who asks you to equip a certain item for a mission. Thanks for saving me some time, stranger!
