MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries Review | Fighting against the game

By Jason Faulkner

MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is a return to form for the MechWarrior series. The last time we saw the franchise focus on single-player and co-op was way back in 2002 with MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries, 18 years ago. Mech sims are only released once in a blue moon, and I hoped that MechWarrior 5 would be the evolution the genre needs to please long-time…

  • Mechs are fun.
  • Faithful to the source material.
  • Obnoxious overheating keeps you from firing your weapons often.
  • Mechs are somehow too fragile and too strong at the same time.
  • Radar system is horrendous.
  • No lead pips mean you have to aim entirely on gut feeling.
