Now this is a VIDEO. GAME.
FromSoftware does it again. The combat is incredibly challenging, but once you engage with all of its systems it becomes very rewarding and satisfying. Almost everything has a counter, whether that is via play-style and/or changing up your mech's build. Boss has a big shield? Use vertical missile shoulder mounts. Boss is hounding you with homing missiles from a distance? Use a nimble reverse-jointed mech with a laser sword and don't let up on your unrelenting attack.
Also, the stagger system is just feels so damn good.
The only bad thing I can say about it is that Easy Anti-Cheat seems like a necessary evil for anything with competitive online multiplayer. As someone who doesn't play online, I wish I could disable it.
Aside from the Easy Anti-Cheat, AC6 marks FromSoft's first PC release that doesn't feel like a compromised version compared to consoles. 16:10 is supported, 120 FPS is supported, and the Mouse+Keyboard controls clearly got some love because they feel great (and I'm not one of those sickos who plays Dark Souls with M+KB).
