Almost perfect; the game otherwise lacks a compelling multiplayer mode and weapon balance feels a bit wacky. Game relies on you staggering to open opportunities of significant damage against enemies, and the slower pace of combat compared to 4A plus the short lock-on range encourages getting head on against enemies.

Despite everything it's the most accessible Armored Core VI with something to give for its players, both on the easy side and the hard side.

And for the love of all that is holy, please play the game at least 3 times; the game needs its NG+ to fully develop.
