- Overall, Armored Core 6 is excellent for newcomers and longtime fans alike. It serves as a great introduction to the series, and you don’t need to be familiar with past entries to have a great time. On the flip side, the gameplay and mechanics are familiar enough that you’ll feel instantly at home here if you played AC5 or Verdict Day. Given the positive response to AC6, I hope we see more of the series sooner rather than later. It deserves to be one of FromSoftware’s cornerstones as much as the studio’s Souls games do.
Jason Faulkner · Dec 28, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is probably the best mech game out there. While this 6th installment does have a few difficulty spikes players will need to overcome, the title is also very accessible to newcomers and fans of older entries in the series. Fires of Rubicon has all the necessary components for a great mech game, such as the option to make your own impressive rig, action-packed gameplay, responsive controls, and of course interesting enemies that cross your path.
Ibuki · Sep 19, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON is 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.
A.J. Maciejewski · Sep 19, 2023 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - After laying dormant for a while, Armored Core has returned to light up the stage on hardware that makes the most of its grandeur. Fires of Rubicon feels exciting to play, it looks superb, it’s fast and furious, it’s devastating and badass, it’s all you could imagine a modern Armored Core game to be. Sure, humans are absent and all the codenames and straightforward characters make it rather unrelatable, but when you’re caught up in thrilling tussles with all manner of mechanised robots, nothing else will matter.
James Davie · Sep 17, 2023 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is a game you can check off your list in a manageable timeframe, a nod to the simpler times of gaming. It’s a reminder that sometimes, you don’t need vast open worlds or endless quests to have a blast.
Jon Davis · Sep 09, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - If you’re looking for a fast-paced, highly customizable, punishing but fun mech action game, there’s no other game on the market I can recommend more than Armored Core 6. Its few foibles are easy enough for me to forgive, and if you can break through some of its early walls, I guarantee you will find a magical experience unlike anything else on the market right now.
John Schutt · Sep 07, 2023 Reviewed on PC, PS5, Series X|S, PS4, XB1Read full review - Armored Core 6 is a fantastic action title that is demanding and rewarding in equal parts. It encourages players to get creative with their builds by offering endless customization, and an accessible economy system where nothing is really lost. With stunning art direction, and memorable voice acting, FromSoftware has revived its action franchise with an uncompromising entry that feels modern and offers a feature-rich experience with tons of replayability.
Ali Hashmi · Sep 05, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Armoured Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is my introduction to the series, and I’m thoroughly impressed. FromSoft has delivered an ultra-fast-paced and challenging mech combat game. The deep customisation, great replay value, and level design will keep me coming back for more. If you love FromSoft games and like action-packed mech gameplay, then Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is a must-play.
Kyle Nicol · Sep 04, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - A refined experience from a much more mature FromSoftware and a crew behind their best hits gives a once obscure franchise a more palatable experience for all makes Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon an unforgettable mecha action game for the ages.
Alex Hadzaman · Aug 31, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Despite its drawbacks, Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon is truly a great game to play. Though the game has similar features to that of Dark Souls, players should learn that this game tests one’s skills and endurance. I recommend that players watch the gameplay trailers presented by BANDAI NAMCO first in order to get a familiar reading on how challenging and unique this game is before purchasing it.
