MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries Critic Reviews
View All (41 total)MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries checks most of the boxes I would have asked for out of a modern revival of the series.
A highly successful return for the long dormant sci-fi simulation series, and what it lacks in accessibility it makes up for in terms of satisfyingly tactical action.
MechWarrior 5 is impressive when it’s able to work long enough to live up to its own potential.
Audience Reviews
Attention: This review refers to the vanilla version of the game. With mods it´s much more playable but still far from being very good.
This game is a slap in the face for all Mechwarrior Fans. Even the nearly 20 years old MW3 and MW4 are more fun than this piece of ****. Just a few Things which really annoyed me:
-Extreme poor enemy spawn System. Enemies just spawn out of
