Should I finally pick up Armoured Core VI?
I have a voucher to burn and nothing else is really grabbing me. I'm not a big mech guy, I confess, but I am a big FromSoftware guy. I've thoroughly enjoyed Dark Souls 1, 3, and Elden Ring. I wasn't so hot on Sekiro.
I've even played some of their older catalogue. I loved Edcho Night 1 and 2, and enjoyed King's Field 3 and 4 (jank withstanding). I have not played any of their Armoured Core games before though.
I say all that to try and set up where I'm coming from. I know Armoured Core isn't Dark Souls, it seems to be more combat focused and more of an intense "Try, try again, rebuild your mech, try again" kinda experience. Though please correct me if I'm wrong.
In other words; I love FromSoft's Souls titles, I'm very forgiving of any difficulty or jank from this dev if the game has enough soul, and I know enough to not expect "Dark Souls with robots". Do you think I'd enjoy time with ACVI?
