They are both third person games where you kill stuff! But about as similar as Zelda and Kirby, also both made by the same developer :)

How do these games compare to the Souls games? I know nothing about AC, but have gotten way into Souls since Elden Ring came out

Difficulty and weirdness in the story wise? Very similar.
How the game actually feels to play? Totally different. AC is more of a hardcore arcade action game. One part MechWarrior, one part bullet hell shooter. I’m surprised to see it hasn’t really changed much from AC2, the last AC I ever played.

They are mission based and very fast paced. AC games are generally pretty challenging and designed to be replayed a lot for mastery and for trying out different mech loadouts as you unlock parts and weapons over time.

@TheChancePants they don't compare it all to the souls games. Armored Core existed alongside King's Field and they were nothing alike. You could relate that to the comparison of the latest Armored Core and Elden Ring. They are by the same developer but completely separate.
