    I'll give it a 9 since it's honestly not for everyone. But if you fall into this niche, the game's a 10

    Este juego es simplemente el mejor juego del año tremendo GOTY y el mejor juego de mechas de la historia

    Coming from Fromsoftware's previous titles soulslike titles Elden Ring, & Sekiro. This is has grown onto me so much that it has become my favorite fromsoftware game, difficulty is great especially for the bosses maybe a lil more health for enemies. But besides that, the artstyle, graphics, gameplay, story & music we're exceptional.

    It's the first Armored Core game in 10 years, so it's really fun and the optimization is very good.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is very simple. You will never have to look into what the mission wants you to do because it's just blowing other mechs up. The builds you make are one of the main aspects of the Armored Core franchise. The feeling of making your own AC and rolling with it is unbeatable.

    If you want gameplay first with scraps of story here and there, then this is the game for you. Even if you finish the game, there will always be new stuff in NG+.    … Expand

    First of all, very fluid and exciting combat which is to be expected from From Software. Customization works well and you can make almost all of the weapons work for most engagements. It's fun to mix things up and try something different to see what feels better.

    Amazing game. I finished 3 playthroughs, and I think the story is pretty interesting. Nothing is told straight to your face, it's all pieces of information you gather from various places and people then form a story yourself, which resembles Elden Ring. The mech and the animation have so much details that I was constantly in wows.

    I also don't think the game is as easy as some people mentioned, and definitely not like dark souls. The bosses are challenging, and require observation, adaptation and patience to do well. It's all comes down to how to adjust your mech to counter the boss. Before anyone says that I use the one meta build to beat the game, I have never used the meta build that everyone was talking about. In fact, I didn't even know it before I finished all 3 playthroughs. I played a diverse playstyle and constantly adjusted my mech to suit specific missions.

    TLDR: Amazing game, FromSoft never disappoint, and this is NOT a dark souls game    … Expand

    I have been a long time Fromsoftware fan. This is my first Armored Core experience, and honestly this is the most fun I had in the last 10 years with a game. The missions are cool, the combat is actually fantastic and feels great. It is not the longest game but that is because they delivered a more polished, fleshed out and more fun experience

    After playing the campaign I was extremely relieved as I am with most FromSoftware titles. The game is absolutely phenomenal. If you want a great experience play this game. Make sure you keep playing the story because there are 3 different endings. I honestly think this is in the top five best titles they’ve produced. Keep up the good work From Software

    Thoroughly enjoy this. Challenging yet fun. 120fps helps tremendously.

    Well done FromSoft!

    Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is able to charm with artistic solutions, beautiful mechs, gloomy atmosphere of corporate wars. But there are too many of annoying factors in the game.

    Overall, Armored Core 6 is excellent for newcomers and longtime fans alike. It serves as a great introduction to the series, and you don’t need to be familiar with past entries to have a great time. On the flip side, the gameplay and mechanics are familiar enough that you’ll feel instantly at home here if you played AC5 or Verdict Day. Given the positive response to AC6, I hope we see more of the series sooner rather than later. It deserves to be one of FromSoftware’s cornerstones as much as the studio’s Souls games do.

    Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is a great robot editor that allows all mech enthusiasts to create the fighting machine of their dreams, but a very down-to-earth game with short linear missions, boring environments and weak standard enemies.
