Platform: Xbox One
FROM reinvigorate mecha gaming with their masterfully honed pedigree, elevating the genre to new supreme heights. The world is enthralling, the garage deep and addictive, and the combat tight and impactful. What can one say - they’ve done it again.
Just a few hours out from release, FROM and Bandai pull the hypetrain into the station with the Armored Core VI overview trailer. Let’s gooooo!
A new trailer for the Phantom Liberty expansion to Cyberpunk dropped, and in spite of the base game’s flaws (and not to encourage the same hypetrain mistakes again), this looks pretty fun! Credit to CD Projekt for reworking fundamental stuff, not ‘just’ expanding the world: all players will get the Cyberpunk 2.0 stuff, whether they purchase the expansion or not.
With only four days left, From and Bandai have given us the official launch trailer for Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon.
Between Baldur’s Gate, this and Starfield shortly thereafter, we’re truly spoiled for choice!
A new Armored Core IV showcase from Bandai Namco and FromSoftware revealed new lore, gameplay and offered a first glimpse of its PVP Online Mode.
Armored Core IV launches August 25 (next week!) - can’t wait.
I’m not a fighting games expert, but SF6 is pretty to look at and fun to play. By all accounts, also manages to bring some balance and spirit back to the franchise, appeasing newcomers and pros alike.
Mechanically quite dated, but a classic of its era. If you didn’t play it back then, this is a really solid remaster. Enemies are bullet-spongey and sometimes track you too well, but it’s still great.
Lots of fun puzzles to solve in a wholesome little world full of great art and atmosphere. Simple, relaxing and whimsical, it takes me back to games I played as a kid.
A relatively chill and refreshing take on the factory game. Understandably doesn’t have the depth of some of its larger-team contemporaries. Short and a little buggy, but it’s good for what it is.
