Welcome to a day of bargains and Armored Core VI embargo lifts. Mitch gave it an 8 here. Personally, I’ve played the hell out of it and have some thoughts as well. The TL;DR: without logging into the multi mode, you’ll be hard pressed to milk the 50-60 hour estimate that’s been getting around. That said, the combat feels great, and you can construct any svelte mech your heart desires. Be it an EVA unit knock-off. A Gundam. Or The Crushinator…
In historical news, it’s the 16th birthday of an absolute all-timer, 2K Boston’s BioShock. Still ranked as one of the best written thinking-person’s shooters ever devised. Go play it if you never have, would you kindly.

No Man’s Sky
It’s the game that just keeps on giving (and also going, light-years-wise). Yep, NMS is about exploration and survival, set in an infinite universe. You can fly seamlessly from a planet to another galaxy. The Starfield before Starfield, if you will.

Midnight Suns
Firaxis has put itself in the league of RPG devs like BioWare, Obsidian, Bethesda, and Larian. Its innovative combat system takes a bit of time to get going, but once it does it makes excellent use of mechanics to keep battles fresh and unpredictable.

DualSense Charging Station
Not often discounted. Always a good idea. It’s time to get energised about buying yourself a charger, because having a USB cord hanging out the front of your PS5 looks messy. Complete trip hazard that could destroy one of those precious ports.
