 I liked the gaming aspects of "Warcross", I liked the universe and I did enjoy Emika. However, I feel underwhelmed by the characters of "Warcross" especially in terms of the team dynamics and cat-and-mouse games. Both of which are tropes that need to literally do the bare minimum to satisfy me.

I also did not enjoy how the world of "Warcross" implied that unless a player came from the global north they weren't talented enough to be a part of the leaderboards and therefore no competent Warcross players came from there.

There were moments I really did love but those weren't strong enough to detract from the moments I liked less
