I'm really trying to enjoy PINE but the performance just gets in the way. To give some context I'm running this on an i7-8700 + RTX 2070. The gameplay and art direction are pretty solid I just wish it ran better.
Battletech is a Turn-based tactics game in the vein of xcom. Unlike xcom however, getting through a mission without damage is impossible. Battles are about mitigating the amount of damage that happens. As a Mercenary commander you are tasked with not only piloting a mech but managing all the minutea of such a company. From buying upgrades to paying for your ships fuel. its all a very well tuned balancing act. The story cutscenes may lack flair but the story is strong enough to cary you through. Some things worth noting are the artsyle (its battleteck it always looks good) and the soundtrack. Battletech also comes with a multiplayer mode along with skirmish against the AI. This mode allows players to mix and match thier lance (a squad of 4 pilots and their mechs) to duke it out in multiple arenas. Overall I cant recommend Battletech enough.
