I did not expect a mech action game to get in my head as much as this did. The story has this understated bleak tone that immediately captivated me, and kept me hooked over the course of three playthroughs. It was interesting to see Fromsoft work with a different structure than I'm used to seeing with mission screens, checkpointing, loadouts etc. but it all comes together really cohesively. I especially liked how fast the missions were, as it gave a great excuse to continually cycle your builds. Trying out all the various things and picking the right tools for the job is one of my favorite parts of From games and this one makes it incredibly easy to do. Of course the sound design in this game is absolutely spectacular, "I won't miss" is the most hype moment of the year bar none.

This is one of the best 3rd person game to be released in the last 10 years, and one of the only ones I will play. -Positives: 1. INCREDIBLE detail of the world, animations, effects, and story. 2. fine tuned controls and customizable mappings(for EVERYTHING.) 3. centered camera so you aren't more blind on one side (looking at you 99% of games now with no shoulder switch.) 4. it actually makes practical sense that the HUD exists (damage, health, etc.) 5. you can walk slowly with analog input (also, looking at you 99% of games now where you can only run or sprint.) 6. RPG/D&D elements are there as a concrete gameplay component where you are reimbursed for your time, ability, and perseverance instead of carrots on sticks (also looking at 99% of games now.) 7. Full game comes as full game....nothing else to buy or commit to. 8. Game is difficult, but fair...the more you play and learn, the better you will be. High learning curve-and yes, this IS a positive because it adds to longevity. 9. SECRETS!!!! Exploring is fun and rewarding. 10. Runs incredibly well (i.e. no stuttering,) and seems very well optimized. 11. Lore: As with the souls games, you will need to read into the story and deduce what you will. 12. Sound is VERY good. Every hit and notification from your AC is distinguishable and different. Spatial reflection in open vs. closed areas are pronounced, yet nuanced. 13. FOV is CORRECT, as in: things are not distorted. This is crucial in depth perception. I have bought this game for Xbox, PS5, and PC now for very good reason: it's absolutely what a game should be. Replaying missions is encouraged and I highly recommend going thru them multiple times and just looking at everything; it's amazing. Especially watching your enemies fall and explode... I have a TON of time in this game, and it still amazes me. This game is truly art. -Negatives: 1. You cannot customize the HUD in any way (it is very good as it is, however). I think it would be the icing if you could, at least, change the color like you could in other Armored Core games; It really added to making your AC completely yours. 2. Music is good, but is repetitive with no "breaks." This isn't the only game guilty of this. 3. Dead zone on the "look" axis is HUGE(when using controller)--ONLY when in mission. Not sure why this is, but can be combated with the "anti-dead zone" setting in Steam Controller. I have mine at 15000 and anti-dead zone buffer to 1200, it works well with Gamesir-SE7. 4. The controller look speed is limited even at full sensitivity as compared to using mouse. Again, this isn't the only game guilty of this, but is still fast enough to track with everything once you get good at piloting your AC's. I have been gaming for almost 40 years, and this is one of my all-time favorite games. I would also like to recommend a controller with back buttons for mapping *upward thrust/jump and *dash (L3 and R3--bound to back buttons--respectively,) as to always be able to look around while you move--and always having access to fire controls(shoulder buttons.) Xbox or 3rd party like controller(I use a GamesirSE7): Bind X to booster, A to Overboost, and B to Target, as auto targeting is actually a disadvantage to target tracking. You will be dashing and boosting so much that, I believe, this is crucial(I believe this for every game.) Also, EqualizerAPO will let you adjust the decibels of you SYSTEMS' volume to combat the in-game volume and compression. Do not use anything above 7 for in-game, and just use EqualizerAPO to boost the decibels, otherwise it will compress the sound. Be aware that this will adjust ALL of your systems' volume, so everything else will be louder than AC6(in most cases.) I reduce the sound effects to around 5 so I can keep off the awful captions, but with this program, you can still hear the sounds clearly with no compression AND keep the sound delay to minimum. (Any 3rd party app AND/OR using HDMI for sound will institute a sound delay between video and audio...this is true for everything.) Thanks for reading.

At the time of posting this, I have 269.6 hours on record, which is more time than I'll spend on any game. I never wrote a review for this game because I'm a big Armored Core fan and I knew I would be biased, but let me tell you why you, someone who has never played an Armored Core game should buy and play this game. If you games for the STORY: The game has multiple endings based on which missions you choose to play. When you go on to new game+, more options are unlocked, keeping the story fresh and you play it additional times. If you play for ACTION: The game is fairly fast paced and based on your loadout. I think if you want fast paced gameplay, you can certainly get that out of these missions. You can also play slower and more strategically, it's all based on your build. If you play for STRATEGY: The amount of customisation you can do with your build is amazing and unrivalled imo. There's no way to max every possible stat, and I believe it's possible to build a viable AC based on any stat in the game (Within the single player campaign, multiplayer has some balance issues). I honestly spend a lot of time building and tuning concept AC's. If you play for CUSTOMISATION: The decal and emblem editor are unmatched. There are not micro-transactions for anything. Painting your AC and adding decals is always a pleasure. There's a lot of tools to learn for more in-depth customisation. It's easy to use, but to get the most out of it, you might even want a tutorial! In a good way! So, I do suggest buying this game. I don't think you'll regret it. There's a community of players who love the game online if you manage to get stuck. Good Luck Raven!

This is the only game I've played I would confidently give a 10/10 rating to. As an emerging fan of the mecha genre I found this game around the time I started getting into gundam and I didn't have any expectations going in besides the fact it was a fromsoft game (bosses with second phases). Needless to say i was blown away with what this game delivered. My most played mecha game (and favorite game) is Titanfall 2 and this gave me a whole new perspective on what the mecha genre is and can be if done right. I believe Armored Core 6 to be the gold standard in terms of mecha movement and combat and i am eager to try its previous installments. The games story is rich and came with unexpected moral dilemmas that I've lost sleep over, constantly muttering dialogue lines under my breath every now and again. The characters involved are exceptionally made and the 3 endings means you get to see almost every character from a different angle, both for better or for worse (I still think rusty is the true unsung hero of this story). Every single component of this game works and weaves together to give the player an unforgettable experience, whether its spending hours customizing your AC to make the coolest looking mech, or maybe its simply spending a little extra time in a mission to listen to its music or dialogue lines, or maybe its getting overly emotional at the boss you've spent a consecutive 2 hours on, there's always something this game can give you. MUSIC: The amount of emotion these tracks can bring is unprecedented, specifically for the missions where you need to make a choice between 2 evils, or pushing down the path you've chosen, far beyond the point of no return. The games soundtrack is a mix of gritty ambiance to more orchestral synths that really drive home the feeling of mechanized battle. It is very rare to hear more organic instruments, for example the guitar, which i think further reinforces the feeling of dehumanization on the battlefield. Personally I would say my favorite track from the soundtrack (not including the extra tracks) would be "Steel Haze (Rusted Pride)". I find myself regularly listening to some of the boss battle tracks while working out and the more ambience tracks would be great choices for TTRPG background music. Pair with an Ultra Zero Monster Energy and maybe some sparkling apple juice, or really any lighter sparkling juice.

Fly high, buddy. Armored Core 6 is a phenomenal experience in every sense of the word. Whether you're barreling across the battlefield or unleashing with a precision-timed barrage, every second feels Badass. the variety in making your build is also insane and amazing .The boss battles are nothing short of astounding jaw dropping fights that test your abilities . with story that grabs you and won't let go. And the soundtrack. The score in Armored Core 6 is out of this world. It doesn't enhance the action it elevates it, making you feel like a juggernaut of destruction. all and all amazing game insane visuals and all and all a very worthwhile game. 11/10 would play it again just to beat the game with the jailbreaker build.
