Worth Playing writes "Armored Core for Answer is the 12th entry in the decade-old Armored Core franchise. This strikes me as a bit baffling, as the previous entry, Armored Core 4, was the 11th entry. Strange counting methods aside, this is the second outing for Armored Core on next-gen consoles and developer From Software's third attempt at a mech game on the Xbox 360 (one of them being Chromehounds). Armored Core is a series I left behind after Armored Core 2 in the early days of the PlayStation 2, and I didn't come back until Armored Core 4 on the Xbox 360. AC4 was a tremendous disappointment in almost every imaginable way, but From seems to have listened to the community to learn about the exact issues with Armored Core 4. As a result, Armored Core for Answer is a much improved effort. It's nowhere near perfect, but the improvement is vast and brings the series back from the gutter."
