Overview
Daniel expressed strong disappointment with Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, disliking it and advising against purchasing it due to its departure from Souls games or Elden Ring mechanics.
The game features fast mobility, jetpacks, continuous shooting with auto-aim assistance, floaty movement, gray industrial environments, and a mission-based format rather than slow-paced melee combat and open-world exploration.
