positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You know the game is good when it makes you stay up late as an exhausted adult. :,)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super silky smooth mech action! This is really how all mech games should feel. Gundam please take notes. Story mode is very well done, combat is tons of fun, and there's plenty of ways to customize your mech. Big thumbs up and I definitely recommend checking this game out!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best FromSoftware Game I got this game through Steam Support because my Steam Controller delivery got delayed. Honestly? Best choice I could’ve made. Armored Core VI is just insanely fun. Huge mechs fighting other mechs and giant machines, amazing soundtrack, heavy weapons, fast movement, and a ton of customization. Every build feels different, and changing parts actually matters instead of just being cosmetic. The bosses are great, the atmosphere is cold and industrial, and the game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I genuinely don't understand why so few people talk about what is literally the GREATEST action game in the entire history of humanity. The gameplay is S-tier, the lore is S-tier, the worldbuilding is S-tier, and the replayability is S-tier every single time. At this point, it feels like FromSoftware simply isn't capable of making a bad game, even if they actively tried. The only people who might dislike it are those who have an irrational hate-boner for mechs — but who cares about the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Every time FromSoftware makes a Souls game, they always deliver. This time, they did something different. This is my first non-Souls game from FromSoftware, and honestly, I didn’t expect much. The game is very story-driven, and storytelling has never been FromSoftware’s main strength. But after reaching 100% completion, I was proven wrong. The narration and game design are better than most story games today. The combat and customization are very diverse, letting you be creative with almost any…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No repair kits remaining. AP at 50%. Left arm ammunition depleted. Right shoulder ammunition at 10%.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of the best 3rd person game to be released in the last 10 years, and one of the only ones I will play. -Positives: 1. INCREDIBLE detail of the world, animations, effects, and story. 2. fine tuned controls and customizable mappings(for EVERYTHING.) 3. centered camera so you aren't more blind on one side (looking at you 99% of games now with no shoulder switch.) 4. it actually makes practical sense that the HUD exists (damage, health, etc.) 5. you can walk slowly with analog input…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finished the game four times already and did all three endings, so I can at least review the game as a whole. This game offers so many customisation options unrivalled by other games, besides other AC games in the series from what I've heard. You will micromanage every small aspect of your AC because a singular part won't make that much of an impact, but all of the parts of your AC will have a drastic impact on the capabilities and playstyle of your mech making it unique. This is also…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Incredible Game, i just wish it got more recognition and had a larger playerbase
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been gaming for over 30 years and this is one of the rare games that I honestly can't find a flaw with. In terms of what it is trying to do in its genre, I would give it a 10/10. To give some context, I think I have only ever rated Crono Trigger, Metal Gear Solid, and Breath of the Wild a 10/10 off the top of my head. That puts this game in rare company. That being said, I don't think it necessarily is one of the best games of all time, I just think it is a flawless game. Everything…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is my third year installing it and dying in the first mission repeatedly until i quit. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I did not expect a mech action game to get in my head as much as this did. The story has this understated bleak tone that immediately captivated me, and kept me hooked over the course of three playthroughs. It was interesting to see Fromsoft work with a different structure than I'm used to seeing with mission screens, checkpointing, loadouts etc. but it all comes together really cohesively. I especially liked how fast the missions were, as it gave a great excuse to continually cycle your…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been indoctrinated into the cult of pilebunker. Much faster than Titanfall but also less grounded. I like Titanfall. I want a new Titanfall. But this will work. Until the new AC game comes out. Ace Combat or Armored Core War is bad but guns are rad type ♥♥♥♥ or whatever the kids say
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really, really wish I picked this up on release over Baldurs Gate 3. Genuinely my favourite FromSoft game. Make of that what you will.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I tried playing this while i was drunk. turns out is easier to pilot DIY Gundam fighter when you are half asleep and evade bulets the size of a Volvo XC40 than sober. 100/10, Would jagherbomb and play again
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't believe that the mechsploitation game involves you, the player, in a mech, being exploited. Unbelievable. 10/10. Highly recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Masterpiece, make sure you play 3 playthroughs for all three endings, its totally worth it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Flip a coin whenever Fromsoft makes a game. Heads - It's a masterpiece Tails - It's a masterpiece
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fast paced, mecha extravaganza set in a dystopian nightmare where you play as a tool of violence without a voice, but not without a vote. The music is fantastic, the gameplay rewarding, and the challenge present. Don't be fooled into thinking this just a game about giant robots. Settle in for the horrors of war and to give yourself some feels between firefights. I doubt anyone needs a real review from some rando on Steam three years after release, but the game is Masterpiece.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am writing this review after having finished every mission S rank and 100% all achievements. This is one of the greatest mecha action games of all time. Everything is peak. The gameplay, mechanics, customization, score, story, level design, sound, voice acting- it is all on a phenomenal level. I feel as though the vision for this experience was nearly perfect in execution. The struggles, the learning, the victories and all the emotions of the story and characters; I will not be able to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For context, dare I say it, I am not a fan of the souls genre. I know From Soft's work is legendary and I respect what they've contributed to gaming. For reasons I wont get into here, all of their previous work is just not for me, not for a lack of trying. HOWEVER, this game just clicks for me in a way I could endlessly talk about. My steam hours do not reflect how I have beat this game, multiple times, on both PS5 and XBOX. Yes, the game was THAT good I bought, and finished it three times. I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is easily my favorite Fromsoft game, and the only one I've beaten multiple times and keep coming back to. There's just nothing else like it on the market right now, at least not as polished or as fun. It has a linear story, but plenty of replayability with different missions being available to set the different runs apart, and other NG+ and NG++ missions that get unlocked. It also has a good difficulty balance, there's only one or two bosses that are kinda janky or a bit unfair, but I've…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing mech game, engaging story, get called a dog in the first ten seconds. 10/10. No notes
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are a fan of mecha in any capacity you will LOVE this! Story is absolutely incredible, gameplay is dependent entirely on your mechs customization. Want to be a walking tank with enough firearms to blow up a city?? CHECK. Want to go so fast you genuinely have no idea whats going on??? CHECK. games peak, I HIGHLY recommend to play it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Never thought I would 100% a game and AC6 is the very 1st game that made me do it. This is even the 1st review I ever made for a game! All I can say is that what you see in the trailer is what you get. This game makes you feel like a badass mech pilot with the amazing combat. The story is great and the great dialogue complements it which makes you feel for the characters even if they're just voice overs. And even when you go for NG+ for the other endings, you wouldn't feel bored since there are…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the first game where I actually went for NG+... then NG++. It is worth it, and if you are able to play with two joysticks even more so.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if everyone who plays gets as addicted to the giant mech as i have, we are in trouble! im not kidding, the upstanding human beings that play this game run the risk of getting blown up! i mean like, what if someone loved this game so much that they tried building a mech on their own!!?? it would totally blow up! i mean like, really. what if all of those guns and bombs where defective and they blew up? that person would get hurt! and what about all of their friends?? they would have to stop…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just finished it. 100%. Absolute banger. I was reaaaally afraid at first, because, well... From Software game haha ^^'. I don't consider myself a "tryharder". And I honestly thought I won't make it to the end either. But the FEELS!!! Seriously, the gameplay is insane. I didn't know I love mechas that much too XD! New discovery! But I digress! Perseverance. That's the word. Trying new things, again and again. And the satisfaction of surpassing myself, even coming back on a previous boss and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a kid I loved first game on Playstation 1. This game is a neat focused experience. Also, plays very nice on mouse/keyboard.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I thought I wasn't into Mecha genre before starting the game and it was one of the main reasons why I postponed it for this long. However, I realized that I didn't need to grow up loving Mehca animes to love this masterpiece. If you have the same reason for not playing the game, you shouldn't make it the main reason. it is a nothing burger of a reason and it should be treated as such. despite that I admit that the game took it sweet time to click with me, but when it did, it became one of my…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Coolest mech-game ever made, is there anything more need to say? OF COURSE THERE IS. THIS GAME HAS THE MOST ENGAGING COMBAT MECHANIC THAT I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED!! OOO MY GODDD IT IS SOOO ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SATISFYING SEEING YOUR OPPONENT BLOWS UP INTO PIECES IN SLOW-MO AFTER YOU'VE DELIVERED THE MOST DEVIOUS SAVAGE COMBO TO THEM. This game is full of badass moment, that i dare say it surpasses the limit in level of badass-ness even Chuck Norris himself nod to this game. Very flexible customization and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got whipped first mission. Was thinking this would be an impossible game for me to complete and I'd abandon. Initially played speedy dashy boy with sword and bazooka. Discovered rear double grenade launchers and main bazooka combo. Put on more armour and became essentially a explosive shotgun where I'd stay as close to the enemy as I can whilst giving all salvos, probably not an optimal build but incredibly effective and fun. 10/10. Really enjoyed it,
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR One of, if not the greatest action adventure RPGs to date. Full Review: I'll be completely honest, I am a hardcore AC fan. My dad played. I played. I have some of my fondest memories with this franchise, and this game is just an upgrade in everyway... unless you've played For Answer :*) As far as AC:VI Fires of Rubicon, I had a blast and still am after playing the story 3 times (different endings each time with new missions) im not a completionist by any means but this one was…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very solid game, probably one of the most vivid gaming experiences i had in recent years. The characters are so well written, that despite never seeing them (all dialogues in the game are voice-only, you never see the characters aside their AC's) they still make you feel every emotion from sadness and anger to joy, I even shed a tear at one point in the story . The gameplay part is amazing but also fairly challenging, with a vast variety of customization options, which allow you to create…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh boy...I'm writing this review with....IMMENSE REGRET! CUZ I SHOULD'VE PLAYED IT LONG AGO. Donno why I waited till now, it's one of the best games I've played in last couple of years.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Armored Core VI is easily my favorite game. The combat loop is insanely tight — managing stagger, boost economy, and weapon cycling feels really deliberate. I love how aggressive the pacing is compared to older AC titles, especially how it rewards staying on top of enemies instead of playing passive. The mech customization is what really seals it for me though — every build actually changes how encounters play, not just stats on paper. It’s one of those games where when a mission clicks, you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yo, I knew this game was awesome but I never expected it to be THIS GOOD... I unlocked all 3 endings, meaning I finished the game 3 times btw. I also consider myself very critical but also extremely fair and for me this was a PERFECT GAME! Clearly a 10/10 experience. For me this is one of the best single-player games ever made! Ghost of Tsushima is still my personal number 1. Places 2–10 aren’t ranked, but yeah… I love Ghost of Tsushima THAT much 😁. Armored Core 6 definitely made it into my…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool ass gameplay, great music and just mecha maddness. Yet another fromsoftware masterpeice that will never recieve a dlc.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After 100% this game, I can confidently say: Mechs are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cool
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is just actual peak. There's a reason that a lot of the negative reviews aren't actually about the game being bad, and usually just some person complaining that the game is too hard. The balance of the game is fine, if anything I'd say it's actually a little too easy. There's a lot of fun to be had here with the mod scene as well, plus the game actually has way more story than it lets on (hint hint replay the game the NG+ modes for the "real story.") But yeah FromSoft channeled their…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My friend bought me this so we could PvP, I wasn't sure what to expect. Did 3 full playthroughs in less than 2 weeks. I couldn't get enough, and I needed to know the outcome of all 3 endings. Amazing game

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fantastic game good blend of modern souls elements but keeps everything that makes armored core unique and fun to play good story, good replayability, love that there's choices and branching paths wish it had some faster mobility like armored core 4 multiplayer is cooked though
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best action game I've ever played. The story was sick. The gameplay and customization was unparalleled. I was addicted and did nothing but play this game for 2 weeks straight. 10/10 GAME.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Armored Core 6 delivers fast, tactical mech combat with tons of customization, but it can be overwhelming at first. The bosses can be tough, but the sense of progression and experimenting with builds makes it worth the effort. Overall a great game. 5/5 Would recommend!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a masterpiece. Love at first sight. A genuine 10/10 game with a massive amount of build variety, sprawling levels and a lot of action for you to enjoy. It's got solid replayability and even a New Game++ mode. A solid story and... It honestly has it all. Including the From Software magic of boss fights that punch you straight in the groin, and then combo punch you again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →loving it so far definitely fulfilling the fantasy of Knightmare style combat from code geass
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Masterpiece No other game has ever given me as many goosebumps as Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon. FromSoftware has truly perfected the art of presenting scenes, setting the tone, surprising the player, and dropping amazing lines of dialogue at the right time. Everything about this game fits together perfectly: the gameplay, the movement, the assembly and design of your own Armored Core, the arena, the art direction, the world, the mission structure, the story, the writing, the voice acting,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolute masterpiece in storytelling and narrative design of Fromsoftware. Gameplay is a bit simpler and easier than the older titles, but once you are 3 missions in, you can not stop. Also, phenomenal voice acting from the English side. Game is just unplayable without experiencing the crazy performance that the English cast pulled off.

unlabelledView post →Hands down one of the best action games I've ever played 10/10. It has so much replayability through the customization. The story is actually thoughtful and not morally condescending like in other games with branching narratives. You are a mercenary, not the hero. No faction is in the right and that's how war is. Its just brutal force against brutal force and the victors get to write the history books.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game tbh, shame I missed year 1 PvP. Classic FromSoft story, could use a few more missions ngl. Fun perfect too. 10/10 AC7 when
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've never played mecha games before, but this one sold me on the genre at once. Simply a beautiful masterpiece from FromSoftware. -Gameplay. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ excellent. Tons of parts to assemble your AC, different fundamental builds(tetrapod, bipedal, tank, reverse), lots types of weapons and they really feel and play different from one another and are satisfying to fight with. Seeing explosions from a grenade launcher or landing a hit with your melee sabre are the most satisfying things in the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has everything a mech fan could want and a story as deep or shallow as you choose to follow it. Fantastic art, design, and gameplay. I have especially enjoyed playing on my steamdeck on the go with no issues on performance.
