This was a solid Gundam series, and I am very surprised to be saying that. Coming off the tail end of Build Divers my expectations were very low, however it definitely surprised me.
The story is very simplistic but was approached in a way that felt similar to SAO alternative GGO. In that it actually felt like a group of gamers actually playing a game with thought out mechanics. It is also incredibly nice that these characters face failure in the show on more than one occasion. The few twists in the story can barely be considered twists because of how obvious they are.
The art and

sound aren't really anything special, they're good enough to not be distracting but don't stick out as amazing. If you are a fan of good looking mecha designs there are also some pretty good ones in this series.
When going into this show I was extremely worried about the characters after how obnoxious they all were in Build Divers, but this does a good job building each of the main casts personalities and back stories. The MC is a bit of Mary Sue but he does lose enough to not be considered infallible and just comes across as a pro player, they also tie his internal conflicts to things other than "Becoming stronger" like every other shonen protagonist out there. While the main cast is pretty good the background characters are very standard, almost painfully, with very few exceptions.
