Armored Core 6 PS5 Review - Is It Any Good? 

This is a "PS5 review" with no mention of the duelsense experience. thats all I was looking for to decide between ps5 and pc. you can mention fromsofts other series ad nauseum but cant even cover basic PS5 features

"Insomniac's Spiderman was great on ps5 but unfortunately it was too different from Insomniac's Ratchet and Clank"

This might just be Push Square's worst review ever. The reviewer multiple times compares Armored Core 6 to From Software's Soulsborne games which is just stupid. AC6 is a completely different type of game & genre from all of FS's Soulsborne games. Rather than review AC6 on its own merits, the reviewer just compares it to the developer's previous games which are stylistically all-too different than AC6. This guy undoubtedly was expecting AC6 to be a Soulsborne game similar to the likes of Dark Souls & Elden Ring despite the fact that FS themselves have stated multiple times that AC6 would not be a Soulsborne game.

Hmmmm, this feels quite rushed guys, pervious Armored Core games are known for having hidden special weapons/body-parts which require searching and exploring the different missions for them, also they had branching missions or alternative endings in previous Armored Core games, the fact you don't bring up any of that or mention it at all makes it seem that you:- A.Never played any of the older games or bothered to research them. B.Rushed through the game to make the review as quickly as possible and as a result missed out on the hidden content (because I see no reason FromSoftware would drop a tradition that's not just found in their Armored Core games but also in their Dark Souls series all of sudden, hidden items and alternative endings have always been part of Fromsoftware games)!!!!!

industrial designs are super hard to do good, we mech heads love such desolate and dark environments

Frankly, this sounds refreshing. No drawn out stories, no 100 hour gameplay loops, just straight to the point. I’m digging it. Thanks guys for a great review!

What do people want from environments green fields a big glowing tree a rainbow bridge what do they want from an armored core game

Is there any duel sense features with haptic feedback or triggers?

Surely the hidden secret parts make it worth exploring the larger environments?

"There are some hidden elements that you'll find," Yamamura said. "For more open-ended missions, like exploring a large, open area or megastructure, you may be able to go off the beaten path and find some hidden collectables in the way of extra weapons or parts, and hidden encounters that will unlock extra parts as well." Not worth exploring? Also, as someone who mostly plays fantasy, i feel like this will be extremely refreshing in terms of level design and overall looks.

FromSoft's reputation from the Armored Core series is why I tried Demon Souls in the first place...

Except, this IS the "Fromsoftware experience I'm used to". I'm used to their 14 other Armored Core games and other mecha games like AGE, Chromehounds, Metal Wolf and Frame Gride.

No mention of the arena, secret parts in missions, the story. Idk this review seems like the bare minimum. This series typically doesn't just hand you the coolest stuff and it sounds like lots of that was missed in this effort to get a review out.

It's great but im stuck on a boss getting there though few more tweaks so if you enjoy some challenging bosses it's good fun

So there's something people seem to miss here- Miyazaki (and team) started work on Elden Ring in 2017/18, shortly after DS3 had its last DLC launch (the ringed city). Yamamura would have started work on Armored Core VI : FoR after the launch of Sekiro in 2019/20. They're completely separate seires made by different people at the same company. Im sure they have flexible staff that help where its needed in the various departments, but the core team and lead decision makers are separate entities, as are the IPs. As with Sekiro and DS3, the last two major fromsoft games (ER and AC6) had overlapping development cycles.

Liam sounds like he's never played a Fromsoft game before Souls lol

Love armored core series

Finally i can make my own megas xlr,muv kuv f22 raptor and gundam

I can’t agree about the visuals. I think the game looks great and only the minor frame drops were a possible negative

Guy did not play the game. Many factual errors and honestly just a bad take for that score.

How long will it take to finish?

Hardly worth exploring? There are secrets weapons, parts and enemies to be found. Linear? Are we seeing the same game here?

I gave up after 2 minutes with the constant comparison of Elden Ring

Naff . I almost never bought this master piece due to this slanderous, totally wrong in every aspect review. Hehe The only other review as wrong as this was shillups review of weird west which was also a master piece in my eyes. Dont get me wrong shillups aight . He drops some good content and is a good channel to be subbed to if you wanna keep your finger on the pulse . He just got his weird west review as F'd up as this one. It just proves reviews are opinion based have the possibility of been biased and can be totally wrong so should all be taken with a grain of sallt.

At least you should check your spell before baiting people into this video, not everyone has the chance to review the full game before release. Now fix that Armored Core IV in your description.😂

You clearly shouldnt have been reviewing this game or type o game with all due respect and you know it aswell there is zero chance this is a 7/10 do your homework better next time

This review made me unsubscribe.

I was hoping that fromsoft could move away from the mission structure which was my biggest gripe with the series, its kind of impossible to make a mission heavy game without compromising the visuals or getting repetitive, i hope next time they focus more on creating semi open worlds like their other games.

If this Review wasn't about a non stop and a non sense comparisson to the soulslike games, i would give you a credit for a fair opinion. But it's a clear case of someone that didn't do their homework.

At least it's not as bad as Dark Souls 2 - another game that wasn't made by Hidetaka Miyazaki.

All the from software fans can't handle a single negative statement said about their games ever.. everyone is entitled to their own opinion..a 7 is good

Armored core fans salty their trash game isn’t getting good reception LOL

Thanks for an honest take on the problems with the game! I'll definitely pick this up but I think I can wait a while for a sale.

Keep comparing armored core to "other from software games from the last decade" is a bit ignorant. Armored core is a series with long history and lore, not simply be dismissed as "not as good as souls-like games "

"With a campaign roughly 25 hours in length,..." Definitely getting this.

This guy didn’t understand what he was reviewing.

I'm honestly very tired of people confusing their personal distaste for brutalist sci fi art for the game looking "boring."

Sounds like the reviewer didn't know or care that there are actual things to discover through exploring the mission areas. This is what happens when you just rush through a game

Welcome (or welcome back) to the Armored Core community Ravens and other mech fans! This is our moment to make the genre more popular.

"You can switch weapons and parts in and out on the pause screen". Are you sure? I thought it was just at checkpoints

If you dont know that Fromsoft hides some powerful gear in the middle of the mission, then please take your time to explore and then start the speed runs. These games are about experimenting with loadouts. See you soon Ravens!!!

Hmmm well it seems to be reviewing really good so im not sure what this guy is talking about lol.

IGN doesn't have the worst review this time...

Multiple endings, multiplayer, secrets bosses/items, good customization, and amazing combat? If it's gonna be like that just take my money Fromsoftware. Been looking forward to a new Armored Core game for a decade now and to say they delivered would truly be an understatement

"NOT ELDEN RING 2" "That sign can't stop me from making a review, because I can't read!" - pushsquare

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

I've thought of getting a PS5 for AC6, depending how it handled the Dualsense features

I can’t wait 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This review was written by a person that wanted something that wasn’t armored core

Why does it look so bad though?

METAL | CONCRETE | FIRE

Looks boring to me

is your mum any good?

This review was basically like 8 minutes of saying I don’t get what all the fuss is about.

If it takes you ten minutes to beat a level, then you're rushing and not exploring. When you find a secret boss or enemy you'll get different endings

One of the fromsoftware games i probably wont buy

He didnt get to play all the chapters right? So wouldnt there be much more customization of weapons to keep trying?

I still don't know about this, don't like the 3ps perspective, flying around all over the place looks messy...hope it will be successful enough that the market finally kicks respawn in the butt to give us Titan Fall 3, which I would be far more interested in.

Does this run at 720 / 30 fps aswell

ahh yes the planet that was ravaged by an other worldly fire is indeed "bland"

Three reviews now I've seen. A 9, 8 and now a 7. Think I might pick it up on sale.

Another trash From Software game

Dated mission and game design. Congratulations to the fans, I could never like any game in the series no matter how hard I tried. Tell us when the expansion for Elden Ring will release..
