GCHD: Armored Core For Answer Review
It’s hard to fault For Answer or the series in general: they accomplished what they set out to do very well – it’s just that the series is very niche in nature to begin with. It feels like a cop-out to say "If you like Armored Core, then you’ll enjoy For Answer", but that’s really closest to the truth. On the one hand, it’s an intensely-fun shooter, and anyone who admires the genre will appreciate the action here. On the flip side, it’s incredibly deep and complex, and it’s not significantly varied from any of the previous titles in the series.
Veterans will be overjoyed with the new design parts and bevy of options available, but newcomers will often feel confused and overwhelmed at times. If you’re prepared to make the commitment in figuring out the complexity of a title like this, For Answer can be quite entertaining at times. If you’re looking for a quick robot action fix, you’d be better off looking elsewhere.
