Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon Review

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.

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon review by Mitchell Saltzman on PlayStation 5. Also available on PlayStation 4, Xbox, and PC.

For those who have never played Armored Core. Rule #1: there is no "best" loadout, there will always be different loadouts that work on certain missions and not on others.

[Redmercy]

Cannot wait to play this. Fromsoft is one of the best studios out there

[rafaelqueirozz]

This year releases are fire, so many highly anticipated games actually delivering quality, and not disappointment.

[ghostking]

This will be my first ever armored core game. Looks amazing!!

[bigpapapage]

Newcomers to the series - you’re in for a treat. Remember to change it up with your load outs and have some fun!

Also, considering the regional pricing, this games is accordingly priced here in latin america, compared to a lot of other AAA releases. This is an incredible package with excellent value.

This is my first armored core im really excited

[spikey]

"get in the robot" and that bright purple and green colour scheme really tells they had the right person reviewing this game

[SicSemperBeats]

For a change, this IGN reviewer is actually speaking like he's accustomed to the genre they're reviewing. He obviously is aware of the typical AC loop and certain aspects of old games. Maybe the world is healing...

Look at all the Armored Core newbies 😊 it warms my heart people are going to experience this franchise for the first time.

[_Juntao]

This will be my first AC game I’ve ever played. I’m intrigued that each mission is different from the previous, so the experimenting of certain mech builds are going to be interesting. Flying to New Zealand for this tomorrow 😂

[fernandozavaletabustos]

A reminder that this game has a lot of replay value due to the decisions made throughout the campaign, as well as the unlockables of New Game +.

[raindrain]

Everything I've heard about the storytelling makes me think of "Ace Combat on the ground" and I'm all for it
🎉

[Hayes]

I’ve never played an Armor Core game before but I’m excited to try this. Customizing your own mech sounds badass plus Fromm software is one of the most trustworthy developers out there

[PlaySA]

First game I've preordered in a LONG damn time. Like probably about five years. Fromsoft has earned that trust

[janlemus]

Didn’t have to flex so hard at 4:25 but I’m here for it

[PabloPinya]

To save your time,
They gave the game an 8 out of 10 guys.

[Legendalvin]

Not only the combat but also the story telling ? This game is so Ace Combat, let's go !

[PsychoSynoptic]

Make sure to play all missions in the story. Every part is usually locked behind all the missions. Game falcon or whatsit did a video and apparently there is even hidding parts in those same missions so don't be afraid to explore. these maps are bigger than they have ever been

[FriesischeKuh]

Looks like fun. Reminds me of playing Armored Core 2 with my best friend as kids. Starting to show my age lol
