    Beautiful and amazing. As a fan of the original games, it feels right. The difficulty curve is real though, be ready to think about engagements in different ways when you get stuck.

    It's a good game, the scenarios and vehicles are very detailed. There are a lot of fantastic animations and action movements. The sound is good and the gameplay is excellent. For a fan of the series, it is a good experience.

    GOT A JOB FOR YOU, GAMER. PLAY ARMORED CORE VI.

    Not only is it the best in its series, this is definitively the finest Mecha game ever made and is a true testament to FROM SOFTWARE's legacy and passion for the genre. 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 universe which is severely lacking in humanity and is ruled by cold, faceless corporations and various factions with their own agendas. The emotionally-charged story here is surprisingly well-executed and will leave you awestruck during key moments. You'll know what I mean once you witness them... buddy. The final aspect that I wish to highlight is the MUSIC. Oh God the MUSIC in this game will get your blood pumping and set your soul on fire. Its soundtrack is an achievement and is right up there with the likes of Final Fantasy VII and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

    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.

    FromSoftware has managed to concentrate every aspect of what makes their games special into this new Armored Core entry. Ultra responsive controls coupled with a story and music score committed to the themes the game tackles make for a truly spectacular experience.

    It’s not a game that expects you to pilot an AC perfectly from the get go. Like with all worthwhile things in life, becoming a great AC pilot takes time. But once you get there it’s some of the most fun one can have in a video game.

    Like many others I found myself stuck in one of the first bosses, but by paying attention to what the game was telling me, and taking the time to learn the different mechanics I found unparalleled joy once I overcame these hurdles. And I was able to get through this learning curve simply because the game is that fun to play.

    At the end of the day you have to be fundamentally interested in sci-fi and futuristic settings for this game to reach you. But if you meet only that one pre-requisite you’ll really be grateful that you gave this game a try!

    This game is amazing, the most fun I had playing a game in a long time. The gamesplay is spot on, and feels great. Has really good graphics and the level design is great. Also they don't charge you for anything, like blizzard and ubisoft games do. You get all the skins and decals, and can even download custom made ones. Can't say enough good things about this game.

    All the bad reviews are just as hysterical as I expected them to be, a LOT of people getting absolutely destroyed by the first boss because they're impatient and don't want to learn even the most basic of the mechanics. You can tell they've barely played because they claim that this is "a souls-like with mechs", which it is not, not every hard game is a souls-like, lol.

    Yeah, it's hard.

    Yeah, it's hard. It's not made for everyone, and some people just won't be able to play it, easily identified by their buckets of tears. The game is phenomenal, but if you're going to cry about it, maybe you just just toddle on back to CoD and Fortnite, kiddo. Maybe go play some Overwatch, leave the skill based games to the adults.

    This game is a masterpiece. People are mad because it's difficult and nothing like Elden Ring, even though Fromsoftware always made dificult games, and AC (armored core) never tried to be sous like or anything like elden ring, by the way, AC is older then Demon Souls, and I don't see people proclaiming that Dark Sous don't look like AC.

    First AC title I’ve played but long time soulsbourne fan. This game is incredible, I’m addicted.

This game is incredible, I’m addicted. The gameplay is incredibly fun, the mech customization is incredibly fleshed out, pvp is a blast, and the boss battles are soooo epic. I will say in typical fromsoft fashion the graphical fidelity especially in certain environments (buildings) could be better for a next gen game, but the gameplay is so awesome I don’t even care. The 2 main complaints I see are about difficulty and how it is different from past AC games.

    To address the difficulty complaint, unless you are trying to get S rank in every mission, the game is not very difficult aside from the boss battles, which I think are the perfect balance of challenge and reward. I didn’t really face any real trouble until the final boss of chapter one (many hours into the game). It reminded me of genichiro from sekiro. You can make it to this boss without mastering the mechanics, but you will struggle to get past him without doing so. You need to understand the fighting mechanics as well as customizing your mech to optimize your strategy against these bosses, not just go in spam dashing and blasting all your ammo. After dying 15-20 times to this boss, I learned that once locked on you don’t want to touch the right stick at all to stay locked on to the enemy, this makes fast moving bosses much easier to deal with. Beat him first try after understanding this lock on mechanic, and boy was it epic and felt amazing to do so. I would rank some of the boss battles from AC6 up there with some of my favourites from the entire soulsborne series.

    To the complaint about change. I’ll say the same thing I said about final fantasy 16. I know change is scary but it can also be good, and in this case it is.

    I will say the story was minimal, but was enough to keep me interested in what’s going on before and after missions and the voice acting made me feel nostalgic af.

    Finally, the game has no fps drops, no bugs, no microtransactions, just a fully complete and incredible game on launch. Bravo FromSoft.

    If you enjoy casual, story based games, where you can come home from work and shut off your brain and cruise through the game, you will not enjoy this game. If you like smooth and incredibly fast paced mech blasting gameplay, and changing your build and strategy on the fly to optimize for missions and bosses, and taking on challenging but incredibly rewarding boss fights, you will love this game.m

    I would normally rate this game a 9 but because of all the crybabies rating it 0 because they somehow can’t to get passed the tutorial, I am giving it a 10.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After just beating the game for the first time and going through and almost finishing my second playthrough in the first weekend. I cannot recommend this game enough. It’s fantastic on every level. The gameplay is fast paced engaging as hell and so much fun! I’m addicted to the power trip this game gives you. The possibilities of build styles/play styles are practically endless. I’ve spent just as many hours creating fun and cool looking builds and making emblem as I have spent playing the actual missions. This game really makes you feel like a kid again playing a ps2 era game and having a blast doing it! The story without too many spoilers really is a lot more than it seems to be at first. The deeper you get into it the more you realize how much more there is to it. Even in ng+ there’s new missions and story arch’s and choices you can make that completely change how the story and missions play out. You unlock even more and are able to do even more after your first play-through. The game has so much replayablilty.



    I wasn’t sure how I would like the more linear mission based structure when it comes to world building and design, but it’s really pulled me in. I found myself having fun just flying around trying to see what all I could land on and fly to. They do a great job of hiding mini boss fights, chests, and lore data logs throughout the map to encourage exploration without making it feel like a checklist. The environments towards the endgame really sold the rest of it for me. The beginning missions are fun and varied in landscape for the most part but the endgame really just blew me away. The boss fights I found to be challenging enough to be engaging while encouraging you to change your build style. It didn’t really feel overbearing or discouraging for me because I enjoyed testing out new weapons and play styles anyway. I never truly struggled on a boss like I’m a souls game (which this is not) but it still felt rewarding to beat each boss. I plan on getting every trophy in this game and I highly recommend you give it a chance (especially past the first 2 chapters)

    The game overall is at least a solid 8, possibly a 9, but people are review bombing this game for no reason (as always) and that's kind of unfortunate because it's selling very slow as it is something that the souls community has never seen, that's why of the 10/10: people are acting like kids.
    I hope people realize how big Fromsoftware's balls are to bring back their original series after the ridiculous success of souls games and, on top af all, Elden Ring. This is something that not a single studio nowadays would do, will never do in the future, and has never done before, and it's admirable.
    Oh, yeah, the game is difficult, really difficult and you need to understand its mechanics before everything else, it's not 'just' learning boss' patterns, it's something more, simply because of the three-dimensional movement that you are not used to and the capability of shooting with 4 weapons at once.
    So yeah just give it a shot, it's From Software and they never miss.

    Now the gameplay, its so good. Its just works and the ui might look like chaos at the beginning and the controls might be awkward at first but let me tell you after u get full control it actually feels like ur in the mech. And to top it all of its smooth af, crazy hit detection. Fast gameplay, u be dodging flame sweeps and counter them with a blue laser spinning sword or go even crazier and f*** them up while dual wielding rocket launchers. U gonna feel like a kid again.
    Good graphics, its not like hyper realism but its actually nice. Sometimes it feels like ur watching a Michael bay movie with all the explosions and stuff.
    Buy it, its worth it. We need more developers like from software and larian studios

    Can be seen as pros or cons
    - its a difficult game, controls and gameplay. U might even say harder then the souls-series. But once get good and figure out the controls. its still a hard game but its not unfair, u actually want to figure out the weakness of bosses. Change ur mech, change weapons, change ur playstyle and the very good thing is u dont need to go to the main menu to change ur mech. On ur death screen u can actually change parts and go right back to the boss.
    - No walking to the boss, Exactly what i said, no walking to the boss. Ur 1hp and u already know ur not gonna win? Press start and select restart checkpoint. Quick loading time u can play after like 4 seconds again. Maybe even faster. Right back to the boss just to get beat up again.

    How to win:
    Like every from software game there is ways to make the game easier, not with difficulty settings but with build and playstyle. Get high defence, dual wield auto rifles like the first weapon or smg and if ur get further in the game u can buy minigun. Later u get the option to OS Tune, basicly its a passive skill tree. Get the tune where u can place weapons on shoulder part. And also get pulse armor. Now head to assembly mode and equip a sword on ur lefg shoulder. Now everytime the boss is stunned switch to that b* and do the charging attack. Easy damage.

    I have been a Fromsoft fan for the last four years now, and I love their games for how well their combat systems are, besides Dark Souls 2. Armored core masterfully lives up to this gaming standard, that Fromsoft have constantly delivered on. The controls and combat are so highly polished. Not to mention that the mec customization is so highly varied, and in-depth, that you can choose how to go about missions and basically any way you want and in any form you want. The bosses offer an amazing ounce of challenge, and the AC’s offer up a nice mini sort of boss battles.

    This game isn’t for everyone however, and many people will come into this game feeling disappointed. Either because the game is pretty fast pace, and a lot of controls need to be moved, and guns fired in quite a small timeframe, but that is what the game advertised.

    Now, does this game have a fair share of problems, it does. The camera is not always the best, when fighting, and zooming around, which makes it difficult to stay on a target or to know where you were going? Although this is an issue, it can be overcome by practice and making sure the camera is on point, as often as can be. The story, to some people, also may not be the most engaging, because instead of a whole bunch of cut scenes and character growth moments, the story is primarily told via before, and after mission recordings. Overall, I think this is another banger from Fromsolf, and I can not wait to continue playing this game.

    Metacritic really needs to fix this clowns with accounts that have only 0/10 review, it's a plague and it's embarassing... it's a shame this "culture" is endemic to this website.

    IMPORTANT: This game is NOT a "soulsbornkiroring-like" or whatever stupid name game journalists came up with. It does not PLAY like a Souls game, it does not feel like a Souls game.

    So first of all, it's a complete, rock solid, no bug, no BS, COMPLETE game. it's also sold 10 dollars under AAA price, which is just amazing considered the scope of the game.

    Gameplay is just.... wow. Amazing. This game, like all From Software games, is carried heavily by its gameplay. It literally teaches you how to "properly" wield a controller to use all the 4 back buttons (shoulder bumpers and triggers) at the same time. Takes a bit of practice but it's IMMENSELY satisfying.

    The story, like all From Software games, it's very cautiously and thinly spread across radio dialogues and some cool videos. I would have liked a more all-encompassing, heavy narrative, but in a world full of those kind of games, maybe the mission-based progression structure is for the best, since if there is a game that can be carried solely by its amazing gameplay mechanics, it's this one.

    Graphics is super refined and clear. Anti Aliasing super well implemented, and 3 game modes: 60 fps ( arguably the best, especially in this super fast paced gameplay), a ray tracing one, and an uncapped one that is not fully explained (we'll have to wait for the Digital Foundry analysis for that).

    The audio is amazing, nice tunes that perfectly convey the theme of the game.

    As for the difficulty: I'm finding this game to be easier than your typical Souls. Way easier to get into the gameplay, but the game requires quite a bit of patience. I beat the first boss in like 10 tries, and the second one, the one in "Operation Wallclimber", in like 5 tries, so I'm definitely getting better..

    Absolutely majestic game. BUY IT, really. We gamers HAVE to support good, FINISHED projects like this one.
    Kudos to From Software. Again.... damn, these guys DO NOT MISS. You can clearly see the love poured into the game, and it's beautiful.

    UPDATE: I was struggling with Balteus, chapter 1 first boss, until I changed configuration and tried a heavy artillery tank, then i took it down first try.

    Same goes for Sea Spider, chapter 2 second boss, they are very hard but AS SOON AS YOU CHANGE YOUR AC ACCORDINGLY, YOU'LL BEAT EM FIRST/SECOND TRY!!!

    SO: CONSTANTLY CHANGE YOUR AC! PLAY AROUND WITH DIFFERENT PARTS, SELL AND BUY THEM EVERYTIME YOU WANT TO TRY EM OUT! DO IT!
    Otherwise, the game will become almost unbeatable and frustrating.
    The game is DESIGNED around changing your AC constantly..... you can save your configurations and simply sell every part for the same price you bought it, and they are always avaiable.

    VERY IMPORTANT: finish all the tutorial missions, since they give you precious attachments and AC parts. also, as soon as you can, do all the arena missions to buy the most OS updates possible.

    This game is growing on me!! I can't put it back!!!! its at least a 9/10!

    First of all it's nothing like the souls games and has everything different from a souls game, if you're having trouble with the bosses simply practice for 15-20 minutes, test different AC parts, look up tutorials, TRY before you give up after 5-6

    Armored Core 6 is a nice diversion from the Souls games for From Games. The return to modular mechs allows players to experiment with wildly different builds. Sadly, the game feels very unbalanced. It throws very hard bosses at you when you're unprepared and underpowered, while not challenging you enough when you finally reach enough freedom to build an AC to suit your style.
