This game is just pure, unadulterated fun. Customizing your mech to try and S rank every single mission is so enjoyable and entertaining, and it's so satisfying when you finally get the S. The combat in Armored Core 6 is nothing short of breathtaking, with each battle feeling like a carefully choreographed dance of destruction.

Game is amazing. A must have for mech lovers.
Runs smoothly, even on my really old rig. Mech customization is really wide, allowing a big range of gameplay styles. There is also a huge array of aesthetic customization, and although I didn't try it out on my own besides changing the mech color, I must say, after seeing a lot of shared community liveries, that you can achieve really interesting results.
In term of difficulty there may be an initial discouraging impact for those new to the genre, but that can be easily overcome once you understand the core mechanics of the combat system. Also training missions (tutorial quests) do help in that.
So far, I didn't encounter bugs. My only concern is towards some optimization issue that happen in the menu where sometimes my fps drop significantly as opposed to being stable and performing while missions, but I'm confident this issue will be addressed in later patches.

Armored core 6 fires of Rubicon is a very fun game. The combat is fast paced which is what I like. The boss fights are fun and hard but not impossible. Level design of the game is also very good and does a good job portraying the feel of the story.

Highly enjoyable, if you have played an ace combat game then i suggest you play this too. Great story with lore given to you just like in any other fromsoft game.

Taking the lessons of the decade of game design since the last Armored Core release has elevated the formula to a whole new level that leaves you wanting more even after 100%-ing it.

Armored Core is back and better than ever! Beautiful mechs, great customization, quick and fluid gameplay, and replayability as 3 replays minimum are required to get all the endings. It was fantastic from start to finish and I can't wait to get more AC games in the future!

The game is challenging, but fun to play. If you like souls-like games and giant mechs, then this is perfect for you. The level of customization is also amazing.
