I have played for about 90 minutes so this review is likely to change. Graphics, sound, and big stompy feel are great. Game looks amazing and there is something satisfying about destroying buildings and setting trees on fire with lasers. Explosions and persistent smoke help to generate a warzone kind of feel. mission progression, selection, negotiation, mch fitting are very similar to MWO or battetech - anyone who has played these games will feel right at home. story seems kind of weak, voice acting is pretty bad imo. overall i have enjoyed playing. **note** it seems to be a conscience design choice to make some aspects of the game difficult. while mechs are powerful they are not invincible - you cannot ignore tanks or fliers too long or they will cause a lot of problems. see a target destroy it - most tanks are easy to kill so one and done those targets. anyone who is struggling in the early missions with catastrophic damage should play safer until they have a stronger mech. no word on co-op yet but soon ™. so far i am enjoying it.
