This game is truly something special.

Mechwarrior 2 was my favorite game growing up. Mechwarrior 5 Clans is a worthy addition to the series and is an absolute feast for those interested in Battletech and is the first time since 1996 where you can play as a Clansman. Gameplay is great, story is good and I greatly enjoyed it.

This one is special.

It's not without faults, but the game is expansive and fun.

A true labor of love with surprisingly engaging gameplay.

A worthy addition to the series.

A great game that's even better with friends and family.

Amazing. Some bugs, and the Microsoft service is still a hassle. Even with that this is still an achievement of monumental proportion that will only get better. It has already improved a lot since the beta.
Looks like XP11 is getting retired.

This is a solid tactical game with probably the best (IMHO) Scifi setting ever. The sound design is excellent, performance is overall good with some definite hiccups here and there (loading time and 21:9 support could be better) and the core mechanics are Second to none. There is a learning curve, but I don't think it is insurmountable by any means.

People making a fuss over the personal pronoun choice need to chill. As much as I personally don't care fore it it is a non issue in the game.

Plain and simple fun, with an awesome 80's esque soundtrack and visuals. Good cathartic violence.
