Critic Reviews for Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
FromSoftware delivers a superlative action game that builds on its Soulslike pedigree while staying lean and laser-focused.
The coolest mechs in gaming history form the core ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ) of an intense, focused action game.
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon’s stellar customization options feed into its excellent mecha combat, and the result is challenging combat puzzles that kept my attention all the way through its 15-hour campaign and beyond. It’s let down by a dull story, but lands direct hits where it counts.
Probably the best giant robot game ever made and an excellent companion piece to the likes of Dark Souls and Elden Ring, that matches both games in terms of spectacle and customisation.
I've seen two endings now and they both make me miserable in different ways, which feels like a good summary of this and maybe all war
Armored Core VI is a solid return for one of From Software’s long-dormant franchises. It still carries many of the mech genre’s old contrivances, like its generic mission structure and predictable plot. However, it modernizes mech action meaningfully to introduce it to a new generation. While legacy fans may have some complaints about the “casualization” of Armored Core, I am ultimately glad the series is back and firing on all cylinders.
Armored Core VI sees From Software return to and refine its roots with a game of thrilling mech combat built on aggression, agility, and customization.
