Aug 23, 2023Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is an odd return to what has been a mostly mediocre series. It fixes multiple issues, mainly control-wise from the past titles, without adding much else. It isn’t great to look at, and while it can be fun to play, its poor balance as you progress kills any joy to be found after not too long.

Aug 28, 2023While Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon has exciting combat, it also has a shallow story, not a whole lot of extra content after the main campaign and a difficulty level that is not rewarding at all. While it may be the dream of mecha enthusiasts all around, it doesn't do much to draw in new players or introduce them to a new world.

Aug 23, 2023Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is a powerful mech flying with faulty thrusters. A fast-paced action game loaded with thrilling dogfights and stimulating mech customization is dragged down by all too familiar FromSoftware quirks like illegible UI and a headache-inducing third-person camera. It’s not enough to fully spoil an exciting ride, but it does leave me wondering how far a good tune-up would have gone.

Aug 28, 2023Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is undoubtedly the best opus in the licence, as well as being an enjoyable reboot of the series that quickly plunges us into the core of its plot. Despite being incredibly rich and offering everything that fans of the series have come to expect, it may well put off new players with its obscure technical terms, more arcade-style approach and astonishing difficulty.

Aug 26, 2023This game is too overrated just because its a From Software game. If the developer were Bugisoft the score would be 0.
