This review is gonna be less about verdict day and more about armored core as an entire series, because this was my final game in my marathon of all 15 before 6, but to get it out of the way, verdict day is better then 5 slightly, but worse then every other game. Anyways, this series is fucking phenomonal, i find it baffling this series is so niche, because it really is special, the custmoization is fantastic, most of the bosses are challenging but usually very very good and fair(like youd expect from fromsoft), the stories are dark and intriguing, even the worst ones i couldnt help but get sucked into the plot and (sometimes) characters, and not to mention the gameplay, depending on your preference you are basically playing an entirely different game with different mechs, its fantastic. I've had some very high highs and some very low lows with these games, and after all of it, i only have fond memories, this series is amazing, give it a chance, anyways, See you on the battlefield Ravens.
