Game is amazing. Fromsoftware has outdone themselves once again. The game is filled with fast paced action, methodical mech building, and engaging story. I gave it such a low score because my package came late and the case was cracked. FedEx Sucks.

From Software, enough said. From the souls games and bloodborne to sekiro from never disappoints with a fun challenging game. Although not in the same vein as the aforementioned above, this game is fun and challenging as well being froms take on mech suit battle action game. Very fun

The game is just not for me. I could not get into it. The control handling was difficult for me which was frustrating. I bought based on the good reviews. I thought it would be similar to titanfall which was an excellent game. I would save my money on something else. Just my 2 cents

“Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon” Review
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This was my first time playing an Armored Core game and it was fun. It’s way more fast paced when compared to other games I’ve played beforehand like Elden Ring. It demands that you be fast and aggressive against your enemies as you progress through the story. It also encourages you to try different combinations with weapons and AC (mech) components because a combination that works well for one scenario might not work well for the next. One of my personal favorite things about the game is the mech customization. There’s all kinds of combinations you can try with the weapons and with the AC itself. For me, dual wielding gatling guns is just the best. Overall, I would say that this is a recommended buy, even if the game is a bit difficult.

This game is excellent. It plays very well and is an absolute blast to play. The first chapter or two are a little slower than I’d like (mostly because it’s the beginning of the game and you don’t have a very powerful/fast mech which is completely understandable). After that, your range of mech options really start to open up and your freedom to play the style you like is more prominent. With the exception of a couple of bosses, the game isn’t too difficult and you always have the option to build a new mech or alter your current one in the checkpoint menu should you die (which is nice given the fact that you cannot return to the menu without having to restart the entire mission). Gameplay feels smooth and responsive (if not fairly basic). I have not played the multiplayer as that’s not really my cup of tea, but if it plays like the campaign, I’m sure it would be very fun if you’re into that. Obviously this game’s developer is notorious for making specific types of games that are usually far more difficult and unforgiving than most, but I haven’t found that to be the case with this game. Just don’t expect a “souls” type game if you’re new to the series and you’ll enjoy it. This series is it’s own thing and isn’t intended to be like FromSoft’s other games. Overall, I would highly recommend this game if you’re into mech games, fast-paced assault games, or third person shooters in general.

Good game so far. I loved the series when I was younger. Has the same feel which I love but it’s kind of hard at times.

Very good game. The mechanics take a while to get used to but once you are comfortable with movement then its all about upgrading. I would recommend for seasoned gamers because it is not an easy game and takes great skill.

This isn't a triple A game by any means. It's kind of old school in that you have levels and in between each level is dialog and upgrades. You can't explore or anything in-between levels and it's pretty linear.
But it looks really good and plays really well. Boss fights can be frustrating until you learn how to use your mech or change out your weapons.
It's definitely worth $40 due to it's limited game play.

The game is cool the story is fine, but the controls, bosses, and grinding are okay at best. The game has a terrible scalling for missions they are way to easy and everything moves way to fast.

FromSoftware has always made the best games, and this is no exception. The moment you boot it up, you feel immersed in a world created by passionate developers who love their craft. From story to gameplay to visuals and customization, this has been one of the best video game experiences I have had in a very long while!

Showed up and it was ready for me to pick up. Literally was in and out in 5-10, faster then the app could load, I pleasently surprised. The Game itself worth it , fantastic story, great polished gameplay very little bugs. Only 1 in 60 hours of gameplay. And that was a piece of debris stuck in the air.

Another great hit from FromSoftware, This is my first time playing an Armored Core game I've only ever played the Souls games and a demo of one of the Lost Kingdom games but did interest me due to how fun the game looked and yeah it's definitely worth your time wouldn't recommend for casuals tho it's more intended for hardcore gamers like FromSoftware's previous titles

What a game. While nothing like its Souls franchise, it takes us back to Armored Core from the PS1 and knocks it out of the park. This game can be complex, so go in ready to learn.

While it is still a difficult game like other FromSoft games, I found it easier and more approachable than Dark Souls. It helps to have such a wide array of customization on the fly if you lose a mission, just change your rig and give it another go. Gorgeous visuals, great audio design, a shockingly gripping story, and you have yourself an underrated gem of 2023.

The game mechanics are fun, but the over use of the same areas for different missions quickly begins to erode the fun factor. The minimal story elements are in line with Armored Core franchise which tends to focus more on mech building and battles.

Great graphics and definitely provides a challenge when playing, as should be expected from the makers of Dark Souls.
