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.

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.

AI summary — not a quote
Dispatch is a highly-regarded narrative adventure that evolves the episodic formula popularized by Telltale Games. It is widely praised for its exceptional writing, art style, and voice acting—specifically Jeffrey Wright's performance—though opinions are mixed on its gameplay mechanics. While many enjoyed the team management 'dispatch' missions, others found the 'hacking' puzzles tedious and the overall interactive elements shallow compared to the strength of the story.
Pros
- Exceptional narrative, dialogue, and character development
- High-quality voice acting, featuring Jeffrey Wright
- Polished art style and animation that exceeds previous genre standards
- Improved pacing over traditional adventure games by removing 'wandering' segments
Cons
- Hacking puzzles are frequently described as boring, time-wasting, and lacking challenge
- Core gameplay can feel shallow or secondary to the story
- Some players felt the ending was rushed or lacked a satisfying conclusion

I thought the dispatch missions were quite fun but holy shit the “hacking” was awful. Boring puzzles that take no brainpower to solve, but just waste your time.
I loved the story, but I even liked the Dispatch gameplay, I wish they had given that aspect more replayability.
People like it because the story is pretty good and the characters are fun, with it feeling fresh and new in terms of how it handles super heroes after the marvel burnout The game is very fun if you like its humor and story focused games, and it won't have a problem running on switch because the game is nearly entirely made up of mp4 files that change based on your choices Also moistcritikal, jacksepticeye and another youtuber i forgot the name of are acting as the voices for some of the heroes, and the general voice acting in the game is extremely well done, even the youtubers are very good
Telltale-like game with a star studded voice cast. Haven't played yet, but I know it was very well received.
It's very light on actual gameplay like a telltale game, usually consisting of minigames and QTEs, but you play it for the story and presentation, which is extremely well done
