Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet would be a good addition to this list. It’s also coming of age tale and a subversion of mecha tropes.

True. The Colossus probably the most unique gameplay style; not being able to dodge, and not having a regenerating health shield. Despite being tanky, being able to read the flow of battle sort of becomes even more important with the lack of mobility. Deploying the shield makes them nearly invincible in the front arc…

Huh. Well that situation sucked for Respawn.
