The original Daemon X Machina was a curious beast—an eccentric mech-action title that carved out its own space at a time when fans were starved for giant-robot combat. Titanic Scion, the full-fledged sequel from Marvelous Inc., is set to release in 2025 with the promise of refining everything that worked before while opening its scope in bold new directions. The result is a game that straddles two identities: part Armored Core-style mechanical combat simulator, part open-world looter-shooter with co-op hooks. It’s messy, it’s unbalanced, but it’s also fast, flashy, and undeniably fun if you’re the right kind of player. A…
