Would love to hear your thoughts on both the positives and challenges of this new trend! 🕹️

Just received my copy of #AssassinsCreedMirage! 🤩 I purposefully avoided any spoilers to enjoy it fully, but the return to the older format, shorter, and more focused, has me itching to dive in. I'll post my narrative thoughts after finishing it. For now, here's to an amazing first session for all!

No worries about that!

3v3 can be very chaotic but also a lot of fun. It's ideal to play with people you know though, because it takes a minute to respawn so if you don't coordinate with your mates you risk facing 3 ACs on your own, which is basically insta-death 😆

Exactly how I felt! Happy to hear I'm not the only one! Luckily the game has good replayability so good to know for future runs!

Any chance you're playing online by the way? My brother and I are looking for a third for 3v3 battles 😃

Oh and here's a photo of my beloved mech. Thanks for reading! 6/6

Overall, I'm loving #ArmoredCoreVI. If you're playing, hit me up for online battles! Good game, indeed. 5/6

My only gripe? The choice system. It felt a bit unclear and it took a while to realize how much my choices mattered. A brief tutorial or clearer presentation would've been a game-changer. But hey, that's just me. I'd love to hear what you think! 4/6

Let's talk narrative. The storyline is intriguing, and the Japanese voice acting is top-notch. The main character being a blank slate for player choices is cool, but not my personal fave. 3/6

The fighting system in ACVI is absolutely on point. It's fast-paced and incredibly responsive. Customization options are mind-blowing - from appearance to function. The level of detail is astonishing! 2/6

Excited to share my thoughts on #ArmoredCoreVI! As a long-time fan of the series, I couldn't wait to dive in, and it's been a wild ride. Here's what I think 1/6:

Work Emails are Turn Based Combat

Hayao Miyazaki Will Not Be Retiring With The Boy and the Heron Turns out the Studio Ghibli founder still has stories he wants to tell, as we'd all hoped (and suspected).

Is it Miyazaki-unretiring time again already? Seems to come faster and faster each year

Still very happy with these Playstaceans I made awhile back
