Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is a 2023 mecha-based vehicular combat game developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. A part of the Armored Core series, it released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. A reboot of the series, the game is set in the distant future on the remote planet Rubicon 3. There, a war erupts between corporations, the government and the remnants of the planet's colonists for control of Coral, a rare and incredibly powerful energy source unique to Rubicon once thought to have been destroyed in a cataclysm. The main character, C4-621, is a cyborg mercenary pilot who, after meeting a Rubiconian named Ayre, influences through their actions what will become of the Coral and Rubicon itself.
Runs well on modern hardware.

Flip a coin whenever Fromsoft makes a game. Heads - It's a masterpiece Tails - It's a masterpiece
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 killing it in 30sec, seeing our progress, hit me pretty hard. In a good way. For my fellow casuals gamers like me, don't give up, learn the patterns, and try again. You can do it, Ravens.
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.
