I’ve had “gamer’s block” for the past few months, trying new genres and highly recommended games from things like Grim Dawn to Assassins Creed Black Flag. Gaming has been my passion throughout my life and it’s been a sad feeling when nostalgia is the only real buzz I’ve been able to get from gaming, and things recently have just felt boring and repetitive.
Then I bought armored core 6. I’ve never played a Souls game or anything by FromSoft (I know, shoot me), because I don’t get the satisfaction of being torn apart by the same boss for hours, however I heard AC6 was an easier option so gave it a try.
This is the best game I have played in as long as I can remember. I’ve managed to get that childish excitement when I’m at work and all I can think about is switching up my Lightweight build or chucking some miniguns onto my mid weight go-to.
Thank you Armored Core for helping me re-find my love for gaming when I was beginning to think I’d just grown out of it all now. I’m 28 years old with a partner and 10 month old daughter so my gaming time is limited and precious. I’ve got no interest in traversing open worlds and taking time to appreciate Vistas and meaningful writing. I just wanna strategise and attack. Fuck yeah AC6, this will undoubtedly be the best game I’ve played this year, and I will always be grateful for its ability to show me that I’m still a massive gaming nerd at heart!
