    This is the best Armored Core game in the series, and every system has been evolved. Worth the wait. FromSoft never misses.

    All of the Negative reviews are from either people who couldn't beat the first boss, or people who score popular things that they don't like low in order to bring the average down.

    It's been around 10 hours but controls are super smooth (I'm playing with controller), easy to adapt

    And it' super funny to spend time in assembly and customization, and sure it's necessary

    If you cannot pass some boss or episode, watch and observe why you cannot win? And what is the supremacy of the boss then adapt, change you mecha then go!    … Expand

    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

No other developer could have made a game like this and we've never had a Mecha game with such production values and ambition. On a desolate and hazardous planet known as Rubicon 3, you'll find yourself engaging in manic battles that test your skills and determination as a pilot. The level of customization allowed is insane and will make you obsessed towards your mech just like anime protagonists are in countless Mecha anime. The atmosphere and aesthetic of this title is also on point. A dark sci-fi, brutalist military world which is severely lacking in humanity and is ruled by faceless corporations and various factions with their own agendas.

    This is a Mecha anime fan's dream come true! A hardcore game for hardcore gamers. An Armored Core game for Armored Core aficionados. Thank you FROM SOFTWARE.    … Expand

    A game series that originally put FromSoft on the map, but hasn't seen much play in a very long while, a welcome addition to the AC family. Definitely not for everyone, but for those that have enjoyed titles like Armored Core, Zone of the Enders, etc. You'll definitely get your mileage out of it.

    If you want a game that you can just turn your brain off and receive dopamine from mindless grinding, this is not the game for you. If you're excepting From Soft to continue to only make games that pander to the DS fans, you will not like this game.

    Now, if you want something fresh from a developer that has incredible talent and customer integrity, this is the game for you.

    If you want something that is extremely customizable, that allows you to play (within the realms of what mechs can do) pretty much any way you want, this is the game for you.

    Build a tank with massive weapons and a ton of armor. Build a nimble wasp, that packs the punch of Mike Tyson if you're skilled enough to pilot it. Build a missile hungry machine that doesn't give your opponent anytime to breath.

    To me, I can appreciate From Soft taking a risk with a franchise that is niche, when they can simple keep churning out Soulsborne after Soulsborne games and slowly become the new Blizzard, EA or Ubisoft. Even if a game like AC6 is not up your alley, anyone with patience can clearly see that this is a fantastic game.    … Expand

PC optimization is ok, no stutter and shader compiling fest even with EAC on.

    please do yourself a favor and don't listen to people who compare ARMORED CORE to completely unrelated games such as bg3. the first mission serves a great tutorial and you can easily tell whether this game's for you or not in 10-15 minutes. The only real problem this game has is its spike in difficulty during some boss fights which you can come back to and try with a different build.

    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.
