What kind of a game is Armored Core 6? If you appreciate the inner workings of gigantic mecha, a keen eye for loadouts, and a world wrecked by the infighting of corporate-sponsored mercenaries, then you'll have a fine time with Armored Core 6. It has inherited some action-DNA from Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, as well as the big boss fights and gorgeous level design that have become hallmarks of From Software's other games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne.
"Armored Core VI represents a new beginning for the long-running series. It still remains true to From Software's original vision, but the whole experience has been refined to welcome an audience that cut its teeth on the studio's most recent work," Richard Wakeling wrote in GameSpot's Armored Core 6 review. "Its story is a letdown and there may be some early growing pains due to its lopsided approach, but these shortcomings quickly scurry to the back of your mind once you start weaving your fully customized mech between incoming attacks while unleashing a salvo of rocket fire, sword swipes, and plasma rounds."
It's not too late to score some other great deals this week.
