Years and several Soulslike games later, FromSoftware revisits another of its iconic franchises and mostly soars with awesome visuals and combat. While difficulty is always going to be a factor in these games, the sudden challenge spikes will alienate those who lack the patience for finding the right build.

Areajugones	Cristian M. Villa	8 / 10	08-23-2023	Armored Core VI is a revolution in the mecha genre, a video game that manages to drink from everything FromSoftware has learned over this last decade of success strongly linked to Souls-like. This installment has truly challenging peaks at the level of difficulty, and that precisely enhances its great strength: the player’s imagination to build a mecha that adapts to the circumstances.

Atomix	Alberto Desfassiaux	97 / 100	08-23-2023	FromSoftware did it again. Despite no following the soulslike formula and returning to an old franchise, la studio behind Elden Ring manages to deliver a epic, modern and very well design mecha game the definitely, is a GOTY contender.	Read review

Waugh	4 / 5 stars	08-23-2023	Years and several Soulslike games later, FromSoftware revisits another of its iconic franchises and mostly soars with awesome visuals and combat.

But Why Tho?	Kyle Foley	9 / 10	08-28-2023	Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is a unique experience all about learning to accept failure in order to find solutions to new challenges. Accepting the fact that some runs need to end in defeat in order to learn more about how to tackle the encounter can take a while, but once you settle into the groove it feels so rewarding.	Read review
Cerealkillerz	Gabriel Bogdan	9 / 10	08-23-2023	Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is an absolutely successful return of a series that nearly got forgotten over the years. Even when you can lose track as newcomer over all the different fractions and mercenaries, or get lost with the camera in combination with a lot of explosive effects, making it hard to keep track of what is going on, the studio delivers one of its best experiences so far. If you are looking for a new kind of challenge or want to explore the world of Armored Core for the first time, you will definitely have killer fun with this new FromSoftware title.	Read review
CGMagazine	Khari Taylor	8 / 10	08-23-2023	Armored Core VI delivers superlative visuals and uncompromising challenge that will delight hardcore fans but risks alienating newcomers with its steep learning curve.	Read review
Checkpoint Gaming	Omi Koulas	8.5 / 10	08-23-2023	Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is a next-generation action game of mechs, industry, and technology within a rich story. It will be renowned for its advanced approach to strategic combat, integrated assembly system, and immersive soundscape, offering an unparalleled experience for fans of the genre. Amidst its narrative intricacies, pacing, and camera control challenges, Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon stands as a symphony of metal and fire, inviting players to pilot their destiny in a futuristic universe unlike any other.

DASHGAMER.com	Dan Rizzo	8.5 / 10	08-24-2023	If you’ve yet to play an Armored Core title, and are interested in getting into the mech-action then this is the quintessential entry title into the modernised series without question. Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon brings it back with an insanely polished gameplay loop, eerily gorgeous overlay, and an immaculate engine that runs this game without hurdles.	Read review
Destructoid	Chris Carter	9 / 10	08-23-2023	I was a bit skeptical that From Software would find a way to make Armored Core relevant again after a lengthy hiatus, but they figured it out. The spark of the series is still very much alive without giving up its soul and making it something else entirely, and a new generation will be able to appreciate why these games were so venerated. Just be ready to tinker a bit, and take some Ls.	Read review
Digital Trends	Giovanni Colantonio	3 / 5 stars	08-23-2023	Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is a powerful mech flying with faulty thrusters. A fast-paced action game loaded with thrilling dogfights and stimulating mech customization is dragged down by all too familiar FromSoftware quirks like illegible UI and a headache-inducing third-person camera. It’s not enough to fully spoil an exciting ride, but it does leave me wondering how far a good tune-up would have gone.	Read review
Digitally Downloaded	Matt Sainsbury	3.5 / 5 stars	08-31-2023	With Armored Core VI, FromSoftware has demonstrated, yet again, that it has few peers when it comes to intelligent and thought-provoking action. You’ll need to be faster on the draw and quicker with the reactions to survive this game’s bullet ballet-like approach, but you’ll also need to be smart and precise, and there’s elegance to complement with the visceral sound of metal rending. Sadly, that’s all FromSoftware has delivered this time around, and for a company that has mastered the ability to give truly memorable context to its worlds, characters, and battles, the shallow hollowness of this experience is truly disappointing.

Fextralife	Fexelea	8.7 / 10	08-24-2023	Armored Core VI is an intense, challenging and rewarding experience that surpasses any other mech style game I have played. Intricate mech customization and exquisite combat encounters makes it a definite must-have if you are a fan of the Armored Core series or FromSoftware.	Read review
Forbes	Ollie Barder	8 / 10	08-23-2023	Overall, Armored Core VI is a proper mecha action game. It’s not the best game in the series, but it is solidly done. The new target assist setup works fine and is also able to be turned off if need be. The story and localization are great, and very much inline with the Japanese dialogue for the first time in the series’ history. It’s also definitely a return to form for the Armored Core series, but the never-ending boss fights do take away from the decent mission structure and pacing, especially later in the game. However, for someone like me that’s been playing Armored Core games for over 25 years, it’s nice that this series is back and finally being given a proper chance to shine	Read review
Game Informer	Connor Trinske	8.3 / 10	08-23-2023	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.	Read review

Gamefa	mohammad hossein karimi	9 / 10	08-23-2023	If you’re one of those people who prioritize breathtaking action, combat, and love to trial and error with ample builds, Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is a must-play, especially because of the simplified UI that will be a pleasant surprise for newcomers to the series. That being said, Armored Core VI doesn’t fully utilize its potential when it comes to narrative and storytelling. Also, in its second half, there are very few overpowered builds. But at the end of the day, flashy encounters, smooth and seamless controls, and epic art design make Armored Core VI a unique experience.	Read review
GameGrin	Jacob Sanderson	10 / 10	08-30-2023	FromSoftware once again released an utter masterpiece, with insane combat and an engaging plot, along with customisation allowing you to create the mech of your dreams.	Read review
GamePro	Dennis Michel	86 / 100	08-23-2023	A mech fan’s dream and a hot candidate for the most spectacular and best action game of 2023.	Read review
Gamersky	Unknown	8.8 / 10	08-23-2023	The reboot of Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is a triumph. FromSoftware’s vast experience shines through in the game, smoothly blending their past successes from Souls-like titles into Armored Core VI. It also stays true to the essence of mech games, maintaining the strong traditions of the series such as the highly customisable mech assembly. It retains the core fun that defines the franchise.

GamesBeat	Mike Minotti	90 / 100	08-23-2023	No, it’s no Dark Souls with mechs, but Armored Core VI carves out its own identity.	Read review
GameSpew	Richard Seagrave	8 / 10	08-23-2023	For those that don’t mind that its story is passable, and that its difficulty wildly varies from mission to mission, Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is likely to be a bit of a treat. It looks great, the action is lighting fast and always remains smooth, and there’s genuine joy to be had in amassing a wide range of parts and then using them to create builds that allow you to much more effectively complete missions. This is a far cry from FromSoftware’s popular output in recent years, but can be just as engrossing – providing you have an open mind.	Read review

GamingBolt	Shunal Doke	9 / 10	08-23-2023	Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is a wonderful return to form for a franchise that has been dormant for a very long time. Its unique mission structure that encourages experimentation, coupled with an insane level of customization is one of the game’s major highlights, and while its story takes time to get started, no two missions ever really feel the same thanks to varied objectives and excellent encounter design.	Read review
GamingTrend	Ron Burke	90 / 100	08-23-2023	White-knuckle brilliant Soulslike action, coupled with a movement style not seen in this genre for an entire generation, resurrects a blast from the past in a whole new way. If you are a fan of the genre, this game is pure punishing fun with all that implies. If not, it’s unlikely to convert you. In either case, Armored Core VI: Fires of the Rubicon is a brilliant title that breaks the mold on the genre in a whole new way.	Read review
Geek Culture	Jake Su	9.3 / 10	08-23-2023	A grizzled veteran will find much to love in Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, and with FromSoftware continuing to refine its approach of hardcore sensibilities with a degree of accessibility, so will newcomers to this fabled franchise. The action comes fast and heavy; there is immense depth and enjoyment to be had in assembling ACs, and with a story that takes plenty of twists and turns leading to any of the three endings, it has been an immense pleasure to see things to the end, and return for more before the dust even settles.	Read review
Generación Xbox	David Fernandez	9.7 / 10	08-23-2023	Rating a game like Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon can be very complicated and very simple at the same time. I mean, it’s a game that not everyone is going to love, it’s not what we’re used to with From Software and that also counterbalances. For me, and having played him, I must say that he is a clear contender for game of the year, he has everything he needs to have to be able to compete. But of course, it is a niche game, it has great virtues, but it does not become anything completely innovative to think that it has to be the best.	Read review
God is a Geek	Chris White	9 / 10	08-23-2023	Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is visually stunning, and the omni-directional combat and build assembly is tons of fun.	Read review
Hobby Consolas	Bruno Sol	90 / 100	08-23-2023	A dream for any mecha fan, with a remarkable technical invoice and spectacular combats. But its very high level of difficulty, when it comes to overcoming certain bosses, will be a handicap for those players who are not used to the dynamics of the Souls.	Read review
IGN	Mitchell Saltzman	8 / 10	08-23-2023	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.	Read review
IGN Italy	Alessandra Borgonovo	8.2 / 10	08-23-2023	Fires of Rubicon is Armored Core as it should always have been: the new game delivers a great combat system and mobility, but unfortunately, it’s hampered by a few shortcomings no longer excusable to a world-class studio such as From Software.	Read review
IGN Spain	Guillermo Proupín	9 / 10	08-23-2023	Armored Core VI is a game that delivers what it promises: it is fun, difficult and satisfying throughout. With some conceptual errors in its design it proposes a futuristic dystopian world that is far from the dark fantasy works that have made FromSoftware get to where it is, but with a clear objective: Fires of Rubicon will be the Dark Souls of its saga, not because of its resemblance to this one but because it has the same ambition. With a unique gameplay in its genre and an extraordinary setting, it has everything it needs to become a mass phenomenon.	Read review
Kotaku	Ethan Gach	Recommended	08-23-2023	The central fantasy of every FromSoftware game is pretty much the same—that through close observation and relentless practice you too can bootstrap your way to greatness, slay the dragon, save the kingdom, or solve the puzzle to unlock the mysteries of the universe. In many of the Soulsborne games this means mastering the violent gauntlet ahead of you. In Armored Core VI it means changing yourself until that death march becomes a cakewalk instead. It’s a game about having faith in yourself, even when no one else does, and becoming an ass-kicking mech pilot in the process, not because it will save the world, but because it’s cool as shit.	Read review
LevelUp	Víctor Rosas	9 / 10	08-23-2023	Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon proves that FromSoftware remains one of the top game studios of our time, undefeated and unstoppable. It’s the mech game we’ve all dreamed of since our childhood, and the best part is, it packs that old-school, hardcore gaming challenge	Read review
Metro GameCentral	GameCentral	9 / 10	08-23-2023	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.	Read review
Oyungezer Online	Eren Eryürekli	7.5 / 10	08-28-2023	Armored Core VI is action packed and has great pacing yet the polishing is nowhere to be found. It’s basically a PS4 game with the same old mechanics of a PS3 era game. I love the atmosphere and story yet the visuals looks very old and characters are dull as hell. It’s a good comeback but not as grand as we expect from From Software standarts.	Read review
PC Gamer	Wes Fenlon	87 / 100	08-23-2023	The coolest mechs in gaming history form the core ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ) of an intense, focused action game.	Read review
PCGamesN	Andrew Farrell	8 / 10	08-23-2023	Armored Core 6 is easily one of the best mech games around, with blisteringly fast combat and a big focus on customization, even if its difficulty is lacking and repetition sets in before the end.	Read review
PCMag	Gabriel Zamora	3.5 / 5 stars	08-23-2023	Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon delivers exciting mech action and superb customization options, albeit with some annoying difficulty spikes and relatively drab maps.	Read review
PlayStation Universe	Adam Byrne	8.5 / 10	08-23-2023	Fires of Rubicon offers a new frontier for the Armored Core series, demonstrating developer FromSoftware’s ability to weave its recent success and confidence back into familiar territory, while at the same time demonstrating that you can indeed teach an old hound new tricks.	Read review
Polygon	Michael McWhertor	Recommended	08-23-2023	But the most compelling aspects of Armored Core 6 come from its hard-fought battles, when 621 survives their mission with just a sliver of life left, having out-danced their opponent in the exchange of missiles, bullets, and laser beams. It’s noisy, chaotic, and starkly beautiful, all this clanging metal, ricochets, and explosions. It’s unlike many of the FromSoftware games you may have played over the past decade, to its benefit. Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is the Elden Ring developer flexing an old, nearly forgotten muscle, but one that’s still strong as ever.	Read review
PowerUp!	Adam Mathew	7.5 / 10	08-24-2023	At the end of the evaluation, Armored Core VI may stand as the best at what it does in its particular arena, but that’s largely due to a lack of stiff competition. From could have assembled something truly S ranked here, but didn’t.	Read review
Press Start	James Mitchell	9 / 10	08-24-2023	Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon manages to succesfully bring back and cultivate an experience reminiscent of the old games for newer audiences without losing sight of what made the previous games so good. While it’s still relentlessly challenging and the story can be a bit drab, Fires of Rubicon is yet another success for FromSoftware with it’s satisfying and fast paced combat.	Read review

Push Square	Liam Croft	7 / 10	08-23-2023	Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon admirably weds satisfying combat with extensive mech customisation, with short missions letting you quickly experiment with new ideas and builds. However, once you’ve settled on an optimal loadout, it’s those same quick-fire levels that begin to blunt the fun. The result is a game that can be just as enjoyable as it is frustrating. A littering of good boss fights and rock-solid performance on PS5 make it a worthwhile experience as a whole, but Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon won’t go down as a classic in the same way other FromSoftware titles have for the past decade.	Read review
Reno Gazette-Journal	Jason Hidalgo	9 / 10	08-25-2023	Armored Core VI is the perfect example of tough love. I’ve lost track of how many times I thought a boss or stage was impossible before ultimately figuring things out, whether it be via a new build or simply learning boss patterns. I understand that Armored Core VI can feel too hard and unfair at times. But if you stick with it, you just might be surprised with what you’re capable of.	Read review
Rock, Paper, Shotgun	Unknown	Recommended	08-23-2023	Armored Core VI: Fires Of Rubicon’s stylish main character, varied level design and effective story are balanced by a few out of place boss fights and too many similar battles. Like a mech itself, Armored Core VI is versatile and packs a real punch, but also somewhat bulky and not always perfectly balanced.	Read review
Saudi Gamer	Unknown	7 / 10	08-23-2023	Armored Core 6 is the master form of the franchise and it is a glorious return indeed, from the fantastic boss fights that made me feel like it is a take on Zone of the enders with the souls difficulty and tons of customizability made it all worth it, but it is marred by frustrating design decisions and terrible camera angles during a lot of the boss fights	Read review
Screen Rant	Christopher Teuton	4.5 / 5 stars	08-23-2023	Armored Core 6 is one of the best mech games I’ve experienced in years, and it’s one I expect to play through at least two more times. The story of Rubicon, and how your decisions as a mercenary shape it, is my favorite story in gaming this year, up to and including all the big releases that have come out so far. It’s an exceptionally well-made title with few bugs, incredible graphics, great gameplay, and a thought-provoking narrative. I just wish it was a little longer.	Read review

SpazioGames	Unknown	8 / 10	08-23-2023	Despite being a “minor” game, Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is the best possible return for a franchise that has certainly been historic and that remained silent and quiet for many years, but that has still a lot to say.	Read review
Stevivor	Hamish Lindsay	8.5 / 10	08-23-2023	The AC series is one that rewards your ability to adapt and persevere in equal measure. To overcome it’s challenges you have to learn its systems and soldier on in the face of inevitable defeat. Series veterans will dine well, and if you’re signing up as a newcomer then do yourself a favour – don’t expect Armored Core 6 to be something it’s not. Try enjoying it for what it is instead.	Read review
TechRaptor	Samuel Guglielmo	8.5 / 10	08-23-2023	Some occasional gameplay and story mishaps, and complicated controls, don’t hold back Armored Core VI from being both an absolute blast to play and an extremely welcome return from this long-dormant franchise.	Read review
The Game Crater	Lewis Maisel	8 / 10	08-28-2023	Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is a refreshing revival of a series that has been in a deep sleep since 2013. The deep customization options and fast-paced mecha combat more than make up for the game’s mediocre narrative.	Read review
The Games Machine	Daniele Dolce	8.5 / 10	08-23-2023	Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is an almost perfect comeback for the mecha series by FromSoftware. Despite some frankly incomprehensible slip-ups, like the presence of invisible walls and uninspired stealth missions, this is one of the most hectic and satisfying mecha action games, as it offers heart-pounding boss battles and an incredibly deep customization system.	Read review
TheSixthAxis	Jason Coles	7 / 10	08-30-2023	The long-awaited return of FromSoftware’s mech-filled series, Armored Core 6 delivers on a lot of what fans will have been hoping and dreaming of. Building and customising mechs is engaging, missions are action-packed and it looks gorgeous, but it’s undercut by swings in difficulty for boss fights and an all-too-familiar story.	Read review
Unboxholics	Στράτος Χατζηνικολάου	Recommended	08-23-2023	FromSoftware returns after the very successful Elden Ring to familiar waters, but quite unfamiliar to many people who got to know it through Dark Souls. Its legendary franchise that was launched in 1997 on the PlayStation comes to the present day fully updated, with new ideas and gameplay that series fans will love. The game is definitely not for everyone due to its difficulty and setting, but it definitely appeals to those who want to play something different from the company, which once again does not disappoint, especially when it comes to gameplay mechanics, mechs and epic boss battles.	Read review
VG247	Josh Broadwell	Not Recommended	08-23-2023	Armored Core 6 is the essence of a soft reboot. It has the unenviable task of drawing newcomers to a niche, sometimes overly challenging series without changing too much of what made fans like it to begin with. The result is a mixed experience that, while it has some shining moments of brilliance, feels a bit loose and never plays to its strengths.	Read review
VideoGamer	Finlay Cattanach	10 / 10	08-24-2023	Armored Core 6 Fires of Rubicon is a masterful return to form for the series that incorporates the modern design philosophies of From Software. It’s a dystopian world with a brutally gorgeous aesthetic and refined gameplay elevated by exceptional boss battles. Any fan of the series new or old will find something to love.	Read review
Wccftech	Kai Tatsumoto	8.5 / 10	08-23-2023	Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon is without a doubt one of From Software’s most unique and polished experiences in the last decade. However, there’s a certain expectation of AC Pilot skill getting into the cockpit that even making it through until the final chapter requires an established familiarity far above and beyond any Soulslike pedigree.	Read review
We Got This Covered	David Morgan	4.5 / 5 stars	08-23-2023	Armored Core VI is like getting to put together your own giant Lego robot and sending it out to die before realizing you just needed to attach a few more missile launchers. Freedom in gameplay comes in many shapes and sizes, and the customization of your very own mechs suited to each mission is a niche yet thrilling experience. A thoughtful, intricately-woven story and amazing presentation sure don’t hurt, either.	Read review
WellPlayed	James Wood	9.5 / 10	08-24-2023	Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon emerges ablaze with FromSoftware’s best impulses. Demanding and rewarding combat is bolstered by series signature customisation and player-driven storytelling to form a masterclass in design philosophy and raw fun.	Read review
Worth Playing	Chris “Atom” DeAngelus	9 / 10	08-23-2023	Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is a darn fine entry into the franchise. The buttery-smooth gameplay and incredibly cool combat make it an absolute delight to play. It’s easily one of the best mecha action games, and only Gundam Breaker 3 has a more involved and enjoyable mech customization system. If you’re looking for a really fun and well-crafted robot bashing experience, look no further than Armored Core VI, which is a delight to play.	Read review
