AC6 is an outstanding game. When the trailer dropped and I saw the FromSoftware logo, I was instantly intrigued, especially after the release of Elden Ring. The art style was unmistakably FromSoftware but felt refreshingly different. Though I had never been interested in the mecha genre before, I trusted the studio’s reputation and preordered AC6 with high hopes. What I experienced exceeded all my expectations.
Having played fromsoft games for five years(only souls games), I can confidently say that after 150 hours with AC6, it’s now my favorite FromSoftware title. While games like Bloodborne and Sekiro are incredible, AC6 transformed my view on gaming. I never liked shooters or mechs, but this game has ignited my passion for the genre—I’ve even started playing titles like Daemon X Machina and revisiting older games like Mecha Assault: Phantom War. Not to mention the amount of time, money and traveling spent searching for older AC games(so far I've obtained armored core 2, 3, last raven, and V.) I've found myself watching Gundam and even building Gunpla kits. It may sound silly, but this game genuinely changed my life and I'm having a great time.
For you, it might be just another mech game, but for me, it was a revelation. At the very least, it offers an exhilarating experience of mechs in action. But if you follow the story and uncover the political intrigue surrounding your superiors, you’ll find yourself searching for purpose in this chaotic universe. So, I give it a solid 10/10.
