Armored Core is a series that I’ve had a fair amount of interest in for a while but never could really get into due to inaccessibility of the older titles physically as well as not really having a computer that could handle emulation well. Fortunately this modern entry gave me the opportunity to experience this fantastic legacy series fromsoft has to offer. Building new armored cores, amassing credits for even more upgrades, and blowing up countless enemy mechs creates an intensely satisfying feedback loop pushing me to continue refining my AC until I felt it truly could stand up to any obstacle. While plenty of people are quick to tell me that this game is easier than past entries I still found the challenge of this game to be satisfying and rarely if ever frustrating. Overall an incredible experience I can recommend to anyone who wants to try Armored Core like I did.
