    This was not what I was expecting, lifeless worlds, with good graphics. Few enemy's and challenging levels. Fromsoftware you don't need to make every game a souls like game.

However, the game has some issues with the camera, which can be tedious and hinder gameplay. The game allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the camera and the settings of the buttons, which helps to improve the control of the mecha. ARMORED CORE 6 is a very different game from other FromSoftware titles, such as Dark Souls, Sekiro, Elden Ring or Bloodborne, but it preserves the essence of its mechanics in a form accessible to modern audiences.

At least Elden Ring had an open world you could walk around in and explore. This does not have that.

    Also, it really bothers me that there is zero gravity in this game. I'm a big hulking mech. They're big hulking mechs. Why do we all just slide around like we're on ice skates? Even things with massive tank treads just glide over the ground and turn on a dime. This just feels silly.    … Expand

Instead of having two game lines now, one for the Souls fans and one for the others the difficulty made this game unplayable for a casual gamer. The tutorial boss alone is on par with mid to end bosses from previous Core games. If you have hours to invest and "get gud" this is the game for you, if not don't bother. Pros. Great graphics, same controls as older titles, and the arcade mech building action that made the series good originally.

    Cons. The difficulty, no way to lower this at all.    … Expand

    Ac6 was a fun distraction from my everyday life. While I certainly enjoyed the usual series traits (win big paydays, go shopping for stronger mech parts, rinse and repeat), I always found the unlikely bosses from previous games a tedious byproduct.

    Sadly from software decided to double down on the bosses and across the 69 mission campaign I must've faced what felt like 20 hulking, unreasonably powerful entities. Most were OK but a couple were quite troubling. Strafing round in circles like a mad person for several hours to get the job done. (Perhaps in future from software could could add some sort of 'boss battle arena mode' to satiate the hunger of some of the fans of difficult long bosses I can see in the reviews here?)

    The story was ok but without any motion capture humans to follow along with, the levels felt empty. Lonely. There was an opportunity here to display something more technically ambitious but instead the path to retread the same sort of game was taken instead. It felt just like the older titles before it.

    Performance isn't a great reflection of the kind of visuals shown here but thankfully the VRR setting on my TV was able to offer a good experience in 4k quality mode so things looked sharp and felt responsive to control.

    Overall I came away feeling a little cheated. This doesnt really carry the finesse of a £60 game but certainly came at the price of one. The gameplay felt straight out of the ps3 era and it rarely ever really felt 'next gen' in any noticeable way on my series x.

    Almost perfect. A few more weapons and a couple more weapon types would have been fantastic. Also, the CORE system is far too prominent. You basically cannot do damage without staggering your opponent first. This drastically reduces the variety of strategies one can use effectively. Otherwise, the game is absolutely incredible.

    To start off, this game definitely starts slow and isn't a soulborne game. With that in mind it still has some of the coolest boss fights as if it were a souls-like game simply because fromsoftware is a master at boss fight mechanics, and combat overall. I would say if you love mechas this is a must buy as it's single handedly the best modern Mecha game out there.

    If you're not a Mecha fan, and only like souls-like games, I'd argue this game is worth trying and at least getting through the first chapter or two. For me, it really started to gain it's appeal starting around the 2nd chapter and completely sold me at the end of chapter 3.

    You're going to die a good amount, but this game is very forgiving and you'll start back up right before a boss fight will all your repair kits, full ammo, and full health. If you're a masochist that doesn't like that, don't worry you'll die plenty of times still and it'll feel fulfilling to you I am sure.

    Im only not giving it a 10 cause it really did start very lukewarm to me and you have to commit to the game and it's gameplay as it definitely gets better the more you unlock, purchase and build your ideal build.

    It's also worth noting there is no leveling system and mechas in ng+ don't scale up to how much you've improved or gain more efficient parts, BUT there are additional missions added that will test your skills further than the first playthrough did so there's challenge and a reason to play ng+ (true ending requires ng++)    … Expand

    Absolutely epic game. 3D combat is very different but a blast. Great story that builds up slowly.

    Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon offers an uneven challenge.

    Personally, I wouldn't say I liked Armored Core 6 since I was still high on the Elden Ring rush. As a rare mech game, it does a really good job at making you feel like you’re riding a powerful mech but it has little substance. Armoured Core 6 feels like a boss rush game with detail in mech customization, but the story lacks depth and engagement. Environments, granted very beautiful at times, are vast and vertical but feel like shallow backdrops or cardboard arenas you’d see in Power Rangers mech fights. AC6 will please many AC fans, but I don’t think it’s as strong as the other From Software titles.

    A great mech combat game that boasts a surprisingly moody atmosphere while offering one of the most rewarding customisation components in all of gaming. So, definitely play it if you love tough combat and plenty of explosions.
