    I can't believe this is an Armored Core game.
    It just feels like Sekiro/Dark Souls/Elden Ring/Bloodbourne/*insert Souls copy*, but with mechs—complete with relying on 'dodge' as the primary way to avoid damage.

    The weirdest thing is that you could strip the game of the boss fights, and it would be an amazing experience. The main meat of the game is a lot of fun.

    But the forced bossfights that play like a Dark Souls game—including for some reason a drone boss having a fireblade attack because FromSoftware can't make bosses that don't use melee—just utterly ruin the experience.

    And the jarring part is that...they already did the fights well with Arena. Instead, any AC you fight is going to feel far stronger, faster, and deadlier than you no matter what, and on purpose.

    Really hanging their laurels on those try-hard mechanics...

    AC6 is at odds with itself. It doesn’t know what type of game it wants to be. It’s not Mechwarrior, it’s not “Souls like”, it’s not (A)RPG. ItAC6 is at odds with itself. It doesn’t know what type of game it wants to be. It’s not Mechwarrior, it’s not “Souls like”, it’s not (A)RPG. It combines elements of these (and other) genre type games but doesn’t succeed in creating a compelling package, nor excelling in one particular area to make it really stand out. Although the action is frantic and enjoyable, the current game is unbalanced and the AI is lacking. The missions between boss fights are rather easy. The boss fights are cheesy (e.g. bullet spunges, overpowered weapons, moving and shooting outside playable area etc). As a result, the majority of players are watching YT videos for cheesy strategies to beat the bosses. All in all, AC6 is a mediocre shooter, enjoyable in short bursts and best bought during a sale.

Plus, the game is smooth, which is nice because it's fast-paced. Also the action is very good. Full Review »
