Armored Core VI sees From Software return to and refine its roots with a game of thrilling mech combat built on aggression, agility, and customization.

There is a familiarity when playing Immortals of Aveum. Sure, the characters and setting are new but it is a game that generally treads safely. That’s no bad thing, and that familiarity feels welcome, though it is mixed with the thought that Immortals of Aveum is just short of being elevated to the top of its genre. Armies are at war, the world is moving towards destruction, and you are the unexpected hero that could bring the Everwar to an end.

Welcome to Crime City, a place where if you look close enough, you can find almost any kind of crime, from bullying a little kid for his candy to taking bribes in a back alley to robbing a bank. Team up with up to three other players to solve each case and some of the many crimes in MicroMacro: Crime City.

Gord takes place in a grim fantasy world. You know this because the game goes out of its way to tell you all the time, whist being as dark and unpleasant as possible from the very beginning. Barely ten minutes into the game and the player must sacrifice a child to some big evil grotesque demon thing. The attempt to force the player to make a difficult decision is immediately undermined by the fact that the child in question joined your retinue a matter of minutes ago, robbing the scenario of any emotional impact. Instead, the player is just left with an unpleasant taste in their mouth as the child is gorily gobbled up by said demon. It’s absolutely unnecessary. In fact, the attempts to shock the player fall flat throughout the game and only serve to undermine what is otherwise a solid real-time strategy survival title.
