Let me start with this... you will be left wanting more. At least for me, I was astonished by some of the worlds they managed to wonderfully recreate here, while also telling a great story on them.
Coming from the creator of Love Death + Robots, someone could expect high quality. Indeed, that was delivered. Most of the episodes have an excellent pace, rhythm, script, cinematography, direction as well as interesting themes about humanity, friendship, etc.
My highlights were the episodes: Episode 8 - Armored Core: Asset Management. Besides being a fan of Armored Core, I was left astonished by the way they've managed to perfectly capture the feeling of this universe, the high stakes of each fight the ACs have, and the pilots' -in some occasions- struggles to live in this world knowing what they are.
Also, episode 3 - New World: The Once and Future King.
Great delivery by Arnold, great comedy, amazing pace and comforting message in the end about what's really important. This episode is a mix of feelings, and how they manage to tell it in such a short time, is something to praise. Also, many references on how us the players feel while starting a new adventure in a aRPG: gearing up, being low level, grinding, etc.
Finally episode 1 - Dungeons & Dragons: The Queen's Cradle. AMAZING. Epic fantasy. Again, the pace and the direction is on point. Great characters and dialogues. The peace moves forward all the time, ending in a wonderful climax and... you are left wanting more.
And then it just ends.
Some of the episodes reached my soul, and left me thinking about the themes they touched on. I'm a gamer so of course I was geeking out the entire time, but also I look for good story telling, and this had it all. If you like anthologies such as Black Mirror, and happen to be a gamer, then this may be one of the best things to watch now.
