Okay game, but modding makes it a 5/5!

I'm a huge Battletech fan, and have been playing since the 80's, playing almost every electronic game that's ever come out for it (I don't own MW5:Clans because it's not on GOG), as well as a longtime player of the original tabletop game. I will thrilled at the concept of a sandboxy type Mechwarrior war sim game of running a mercenary company in the Battletech universe. That said, I must be honest. The vanilla game is maybe a 3/5, with a lot of credit coming from the DLCs and later free updstes. The mech combat feels good, and adds most of the replayability to the game. However, the selection of truly viable units is limited due to the specific MW5 extremely limited customization abilities. The original selection of missions are very samey, with even the base story missions being mere variants of normal generic missions. The DLCs and free updates did a lot to improve upon it, but it was still just an "okay" game vanilla. That's where modding comes in. Thank God PGI made the decision to support modding, and the game is stupidly easy to mod! With just a few mods it becomes almost an entirely different game, with full customizability (Yet Another Mechlab), better AI (TTRulez_AIMod2) a slew of new mission types (Coyote's Mission Pack), and a plethora of mechs spanning the entire timeline of the game and beyond (Lore Based Mech Variants, Yet Another IS/Clan Mech, Brian Cache, and more), make pilots feel meaningful (Pilot Overhaul - Eternal) and even flesh out the map (Known Universe, slighly more difficult to install). Ironically, with DLC7 coming in a month (sometime September 2025 at time of review), the game will finally be where PGI promised to have the storyline day one, with the original announcement stating the game would run from 3015 to 3052 in the Battletech timeline. Until now the gameplay and available map changes run their course at 3042. DLC7 will push the available timeline to 3057. About time. Worth a pickup on sale, worth more with mods!

Thoroughly enjoyable mech simulator

Was wary going in, given the reviews from the original Epic release a year ago, but especially after such a long gap since the last MW game have found thoroughly absorbing, particularly with the updates from the latest patch which I understand were not originally present or weak (e.g. news feed of in game lore, enemy AI improvements). Closer to the original MW1 in open ended-ness (and initial storyline setup) but with the piloting refinements from the games in between, and enough content to really feel like a travelling mercenary band (with a little suspense of belief). Handling with a HOTAS helps keep this feeling sufficiently 'sim' like, though broadly speaking a little more arcade in style/pace vs MW2. Hoping there is enough interest for us to get some additional DLC adding new handcrafted and procedural mission types and variables (e.g. duel/solo/convoy/recon missions, optional secondary objectives, competing merc groups/personalities). Feel this has more potential to feel like 'free roaming the living battletech universe' than its predecessors, if given a chance to evolve further.

utter fps trash

levels are same same, no meaningful mech customisation, shallow gameplay, poor control of lance consisting of stay where i am or hold fire/rejoin me. absolutely no tactical depth. only positive is you can just get a fast light and strafe your way to victory till you get to the mission parts where not only have you had to trigger by (proximty btw nothing to do with stealth, approaching via cover has anything to do with it), waves of mooks, then taken down a full lance, oh you now have to take down a second full lance. even with mods the numbers and tonnage is stupid from cbills payments, to repairs and what your asked to do. any real merc commander would sardonically ask the mission briefer if 'they would like fries with that'. It's utter garbage just get battletech or play MWO.

Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries

The game is very grindy and repetitive, as you end up doing the same thing over and over. It does have a nice selection of mechs to play with, though. The problem is the story is not very good or long and you are left with a sandbox that is quite boring. They corrected this problem in MechWarrior 5: Clans, which I think is 500% better than this game.

Flawed Master Piece

High on fun But needs some tweaks in terms of enemy spawn and behavior.. your own lance mates are kinda of a joke and require a lot of micro due to Still getting stuck all these years later... some mods improve this but at this point years after release and with new content still coming out should be better out of the box.. That said if you are in to BattleTech this title is well worth the money and prety much a Must!
