Pros
- It is a really good game and I can hardly wait for the AC7.
- Parent context: Thanks, I have been on the fence on this one for a while. Reply: Don't be. It's incredible once it clicks. Like sekiro
- This game is sublime. What happens when you mix a cocktail of the mecha genre, FromSoftware magic, and the “rule of cool” taken to the extreme? You get Armored Core 6. One of the greatest games I have ever played.
- I loved armored core as someone who is lukewarm on souls games at best. They are so different in feel and style that if you only knew fromsoft because of the souls game and fromsoft wasnt on the title screen, you might not know the...
- One huge improvement to other FromSoft games is your ability to restart at checkpoints and the boss area. If you die to the boss, you can fight the boss again with no boss run or any other bullshit, which is extremely friendly to the pla...
Cons
- One of the few things that I did find to be a strict downgrade though, was the Arena. It’s just too easy. Not that I’m some masochist, but it’s a problem when you fight an S rank and a C rank opponent, and you can’t tell the difference.
- Armored Core 6. Again, no issues and can't tell the difference in dual mode between monitors. ... Armored Core 6. Couldn't get HDR to work. Can enable it, but I can't calibrate it as the menu immediately closes when I try to open it.
- Unfortunately, a few builds are significantly more powerful than the rest, and once you discover them, you may have to make a conscious effort to use anything else. ... The toughest bosses tend to push players toward a small number of hi...
- I do think that it does get a little repetitive to see the whole story when large chunks of it are the same. Chapter 3 in particular, possibly the best chapter, starts to become a drag because it’s not only the longest, but also has the...

The combat is highly satisfying, each mech has two hand weapons and two shoulder weapons they can take into each mission. ... Combat feels good, you can feel the impact of shots, slashing someone with a melee weapon, rockets have huge explosions all while you're trying to dodge attacks and gain air superiority to fire downward upon the enemy.
I absolutely loved the story, it was told in true FromSoft fashion, they give you just enough to make a player extremely curious about what is happening. Between the story, the combat logs and the voice interactions during missions, you are able to put together the amazingly complex world they created.
