I’m starting to feel sad about scarlet and violet because the base game has a great story and part 1 had a decent one but the presentation for the game as a whole is so lacking it feels very disjointed . How am I supposed to get invested in character talking shot reverse shot voiceless slideshows . And I had fun recatching old Pokémon in the new dlc area but I catching returning Pokémon I’ll never use really that noteworthy
A very interesting and short sonic game in my opinion and I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did. It was very cathartic seeing mechanics from this game appear in sonic mania like the train chase sequence from sunset park being the end of sonics act 1 mirage saloon , the bubble mechanic in hydro city zone, and fang in the heavy magician boss fight. My biggest issue with this game is that while it had great ideas it doesn’t allow them to be utilized long enough to be memorable . I feel like if it had 3 more zones and was created with enough polish as a mainline classic game it would be timeless

I believe this is a good gateway for more casual fans to introduce themselves to the series. I really enjoyed the ability to use easy to obtain coins to retry special stages as well. The Ubisoft-esque dlc rollout and very unfaithful “classic models” are a letdown and the lack of level select really disappoints me
1994
I don’t think this game is horrible I like the cute sprite work and animations you get when you speed past an opponent and take their place but the map selection isn’t unique and it’s way too punishing to try and recover once you drift into an out of the track obstacle. The most disappointing part is there not being a single memorable song in this entire soundtrack

This is my second review of the game. My first one was written after only getting the fires of raven ending and this is being written after achieving the liberator and alea lacta est ending to document how my opinions changed.
From the lore , oppressive atmosphere and the character developments I feel that this game is a modern masterpiece. Armored core 6 features some of the smoothest and most entertaining combat I’ve ever played in a game. From soft doesn’t normally have their characters develop so heavily throughout the game but I was genuinely invested in seeing how rusty , ayre , Carla , Walter , and Iguazu develop throughout the game. I was initially intimidated by the thought of having to replay the game two times to see everything but after knowing where everything else I burned through in about 2 hours per play through plus with each ng+ cycle new content is added to spice things up. I still don’t enjoy the bosses but if fromsoft decided to make another with an even higher budget it would go down in history as a work of art

7.5/8 out of 10. Beautiful game with an amazing story and smooth gameplay and movement . Fighting enemy ACs is some of the most fun I’ve had in a videogame but I can’t say that for most of the bosses. The only interesting boss to me was the first one (balteus) funnily enough. Every other one was too easy or had the generic fromsoft screen sweep attack and roll/dodge bait swings at half health though this is a minor issue because there genuinely aren’t many I just didn’t enjoy them.
