Long story short I like this game, a lot, my favourite game of this year in fact.

I love the story, it's efficient, it gives you all you need to know in order to progress through the game, while you can find more details through scavenged logs from AC wrecks. It's simply brilliant. The story is structured in missions, that depending on your choices can lead to 1 of the endings, neither ending objectively good or bad, they are up to your interpretation.

Graphics wise AC 6 is beautiful, Rubicon is a scarred world, by both a cataclysmic event from its past, and the present war between corporations eager to seize resources and also the population of the planet, sick of being exploited.
The Armored Cores themselves look like industrialised murder machines, heavy, brutal, yet agile and graceful.

Speaking of agile, the gameplay itself is amazing, I haven't had this much freedom of movement in an environment in years, the Armored Cores are the most mobile mechs I've had the pleasure of piloting to this date. Armed to the teeth you can delete waves of enemies while the only others able to provide you with a challenge are level bosses and other AC pilots.
When it comes to this game your battles start in the garage, and end with your enemies defeated. AC6 much like its predecessors puts a great emphasis on being ready for what a mission might throw at you.

Now, aside from the story AC6 also has a multiplayer component which I haven't touched at all, I am simply not interested in it right now. I might update this review in the future if this changes.

This is my first leap into the Armored Core series let's just say that AC 6 is my gateway drug to the rest of the series. I don't regret buying this game at full price, and if you are into mech or you just want to play a good game give Armored Core 6 a shot.
