This game has surprised me to say the least. I had no previous familiarity in regards to any of the relevant history of this game outside of the concept of mechs. So at the very least don't let that hold you back from having a look yourself. Turn based strategy is where I feel most at home and this game really gave me a very cozy welcome. This is turn based like I had not seen before and hoenstly it really works well. The maps are varied, missions arguably less so, Nice little cinematic angles for your attacks and plenty of loot and management of said loot to be had. On the flip side, I would warn people that I really think you need to play this game on an ssd or at the very least a fairly modern or new hdd. I had read some reviews before picking this game up and there was a lot of talk about ridiculous loading times. I think personally it boils down to people like myself running ancient hdd. I switched over to the ssd and the loading times are no problem now. Also Galaxy is a pain in the ass, turn off auto update when you are playing if you have serious problems with this game loading.
I convinced myself not to buy this game multiple times after reading the reviews here and elsewhere. Hadnt heard about the game until a few days ago, ended up giving in to my instincts and picked it up. 25 hours in and I am compelled to add my perspective. I have not encountered any of the bugs I was warned about, the complaints about difficulty seem a little bit over the top, and the game itself is a true gem. There is my attempt at balance, I cant be certain that everyone will enjoy this game but I feel a lot of the claims in the reviews I read have been addressed.
