The game loads and plays slowly. Mostly the graphics only come into play for a few minutes until you get tired of the camera, turn off the pretty, and actually start to move through levels. Level generation takes forever. I'm pretty sure my rig could have found a bitcoin faster. Here's the real kicker: tactics hardly matter. This is a game mostly focused on heat management. Sure, you can get some minor bonuses by using the terrain to your advantage and trying to gain position. In the end they're minor modifiers. A bulk of the game is simply puttin all 4 mechs in front of another and focusing fire. That's about it. Try to flank someone? Nope, cut down. Try to jump behind a mech in combat, nope...your other 3 mechs' worth of damage is now on the wrong side. It's fun to play but turns out to be very repetitive. During the storyline portion there's little reason to explore. There's no side missions or diaglogue either.
