FromSoftware returns to mech combat with a spectacular, explosive action game.
Overview
After years of Elden Ring and Dark Souls, FromSoftware returns to its mech roots with Armored Core VI. The result is a fast, brutal, and deeply customizable action game that prioritizes moment-to-moment combat over exploration.
Customization Is King
The assembly system is overwhelming in the best way. Every part — from legs and arms to weapons and generators — changes how your mech handles. Experimentation is heavily rewarded, and reconfiguring your build between missions is quick and painless.
Spectacular Combat
Combat is explosive and kinetic. Stagger mechanics, boosters, and over-the-top boss fights create moments that feel straight out of an anime. The difficulty is steep but fair, and each defeat teaches you something.
Verdict
Armored Core VI is a triumphant return for the series and a must-play for fans of action games and mechs alike.
Score: 9/10 — Outstanding
