Description

A mysterious new substance was discovered on the remote planet, Rubicon 3. As an energy source, this substance was expected to advance humanity’s technological and communications capabilities. Instead, this substance caused a catastrophe that engulfed the planet and the surrounding stars in flames and storms, forming a Burning Star System. Almost half a century later, the same substance resurfaced on Rubicon 3, a planet now contaminated and sealed off by the catastrophe. Extra-terrestrial corporations and resistance groups fight over control of the substance. The player infiltrates Rubicon as an independent mercenary and finds themself in a struggle over the substance with the corporations and other factions.

The most approachable Armored Core game? Say it ain't so!
Platform For Display: PlayStation 5
Coming into this game, I've played though a bit of Armored Core 3 on the PS2 to judge if the series would be worthwhile for me to get into, given I've heard that AC3 was the most approachable out of the older-generation games... Turns out AC3 helped me fall in love with the series, haha. Anyways... When I dove into this game shortly after getting the PS5 system I got it for, I personally noticed that the controls were far more intuitive and responsive compared to the clunkiness of AC3's default controls, and I got the hang of things pretty quickly as I went through the tutorial mission. When I proceeded to get to the tutorial mission's boss, namely a giant helicopter, I got blown up SEVERAL times as I tried to fight it off... However, I discovered that being aggressive and utilizing your mech's flying ability to dodge the chopper's onslaughts was key in attaining victory. As you progress through the story mode, you'll unlock several parts that you can buy or find during missions, and you'll be able to install them onto your mech, allowing for INCREDIBLE amounts of customization with the multitude of parts you'll eventually be able to use. The game primarily focuses on the single-player campaign, which is a "stereotypically Armored Core" sort of affair, featuring your player character as a mercenary accepting missions for various factions that are fighting each other on the planet Rubicon 3 over Coral, a highly valuable energy source. I'm on Chapter 4 of my first playthrough as of this writing, but be aware that repeat playthroughs will reward additional parts as you progress. I haven't gotten to the point of starting a New Game Plus playthrough yet, but I'll be sure to dive into that whenever I get an itch for AC6 in the future. There is multiplayer available after progressing to a certain point in the story, but it only allows for custom matches as of this review's writing. Given that I generally vibe with mech and robot games, like Custom Robo, I found myself hyper-fixating on this game through how I can customize my own mechs endlessly, as I often tweaked my builds depending on the mission. I find that this is the most approachable Armored Core game, given that the controls are fairly easy to learn and intuitive. It's also easy to make a good profit between missions, unlike in past games where you could potentially go into debt by doing poorly, mis-managing your ammo, or even outright failing the mission. In conclusion, I am in LOVE with this game so far, and I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes one of my personal all-time favorites once I'm through with it. ... show more

I am not a fan of mecha games. Generally when I see a game where you play as a mecha (see: MechWarrior, MechAssault, etc) I get bored because of all the technical detail going into piloting the thing. I don't want a slow moving destruction tank that needs 100 button presses to make it go right. I want to have fun in my games, not to have a simulation of what driving one would really be. Enter Armored Core VI. I've been a FromSoft fan since Demon's Souls on PS3 so I figured I'd give this a shot and I'm glad I did. While you're piloting a mech, they remove all the tedium and just give you fast paced action and split second decision making. I haven't had this much fun in a game since Bayonetta. The story is great, the characters are surprisingly rememberable, and the replayabiliy is insane (technically you have to beat the game 3 times to unlock the real ending). Missions the second time and above have some variance to them so you're not replaying the same thing you did the last time, and the locations are gorgeous. Nothing will ever beat destroying the 1km long strider and watching it explode. Highly recommend this game at full price, but if you get it on a sale, even better. ... show more

My personal opinion
Platform For Display: PlayStation 5
I don't usually play difficult games. Other FromSoft titles aren't for me. I've tried Dark Souls and Sekiro, never beaten them because I was terrible at them. For some reason, Armored Core 6 is something I can't put down. I'm still terrible at it. I've failed missions countless times, but I'm enjoying it none the less. Mech customization is great, missions/objectives are varied enough in my opinion. There is the Arena mode, which I've always enjoyed since Armored Core 3. As I ascend ranks, I feel like an underdog that no one saw coming. The only downside for me was the fact that level design isn't as varied as I'd hope. But that's a personal taste. Don't get me wrong, I really like what's already there, I just wish there was more. I'd say try the game first. Borrow a friend or relative. Then make your decision to either buy it or not. I bought it on a whim all because of my history with Armored Core games, and I'm glad to say I don't regret it, not one bit. ... show more

Great Mech Combat Game!
Platform For Display: PlayStation 5
I became a fan of FromSoftware in 2015 with the release of Bloodborne. I have liked every game they have put out since (besides Sekiro; hated that one) and we have another winner in the form of Armored Core 6. The action is probably the best part of this game, as is the story and the voice acting as well. The sheer amount of mech customization is excellent too. I will say however I think it took a little while for the story to get going; I cared more about the plot/characters the further in I got. Not every mission is fun, but the missions that are fun, are REALLY fun. The story peaked when we [spoiler] destroyed the ice worm. If you want a "souls-like" in the form of mech combat, then definitely pick this one up. I haven't played any other Armored Core games so I can't vouch for how faithful it is to what came before. Challenging but fun gameplay; if anything I'm definitely more interested in the older titles now. ... show more
