Armored Core 6 becomes impossible to put down once the combat begins to click.

Making the chapter 1 boss so difficult was genius in hindsight because it forces you to understand all the game's mechanics. Before this fight, you could have more or less coasted through the early levels without fully understanding the staggering / boost / armor/ etc concepts.

Screenshots of the game won't do the visuals any justice as the in battle effects do the leg work in making the screen pop. AC v AC fights are stunning. The stakes in the story escalate to blistering heights, and the tension created by the cutscenes never breaks as the speed, intensity, and chaos inherent to the gameplay amplify the urgency of the narrative.

Arena mode is too easy and I haven't tried multiplayer yet
