FromSoftware is in a class of their own. They've released nothing but banger after banger for over a decade and Armored Core VI is no exception. The game is fast and exciting with industrial audio design and gorgeous environments. Almost every mission feels like a spectacle making it clear that this team did their best to ensure zero filler. I will say that it did not hook me as deeply as the Souls games, but that may just be my personal preference. I also found the game to be somewhat easy--I kept mostly the same build with some small tweaks throughout the entire game and my strategy mostly consisted of firing my weapons literally nonstop while dashing frenetically. However, the game kept my playstyle interesting with a number of unique enemies to take down, so I'm not sure if that's necessarily a fault with the game or with my playstyle. Armored Core VI holds up FromSoftware's hot streak and has also piqued my interest in exploring even more of this company's back catalog.
