Just so fucking good. I got to finally playing one after seeing AC6's announcment and having been greatly interested in the series since my early love for Mechs. Incredible customization with just enough to be inevitably simple once you get your bearings and credits. Missions are brisk and tight, the atmosphere is oppressive and memorable, all stuck together in steel threads by a sprawling Sci-Fi ost fest of tortured samples and synths (it a illicits a kinf of Sci-Fi esc Drakengard ost).
There is something so ominous about this game, both in its presentation and thematic that never lets up from the get go. Some claustrophobic hopeless Sci-Fi horror, yet, the music goes from chopped up hope and bulldozes to oppresive with ease. Other AC's attack with brisk, speaking in cold hopless despair and cynicism. Nothing else makes you feel like your nothing more than just a Raven than being faced with the real horrors of the Layered.
I truly feel like Armored Core is a real triumph in mech fiction in the Game medium. There is no other series that makes you apart of your mech, a single entity of biologic and a-biotic qualities in tandem with the enviornment; all up against god knows what.
