It's not as good as Mercs, but it's still a mech game with pretty explosions

Graphics: B+ : Looks really good, regresses in effects from Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries, especially with lasers and their interaction with the environment.
Stability: B- : Crashes on cutscenes often for me. I read a lot of crashing issues on the forum about this.
Story: B : It's okay, but there are a lot of behaviorial inconsistencies, honor specifically being something that is supposedly a sacred cow to them, but they pick and choose what is honorable, instead of accepting the whole plate. I find them to be inconsistent in the application, which is I guess grating in a way. Without making spoilers, the early story is a little contrived, but it gets better later, so push through it.

its bad...the story is okay/meh (jag/GB)...but short...compared to mercs...the graphics are fine to better...the addition of elementals in GB is cool and i really liked them...the main problem: the mechs...
whoever designed the mechs in this game was an idiot...u have a ton of new clan mechs...both omni and some IS-IIc mechs...but...for all of the omni mechs u are limited to a very small handful that are actually playable...almost all of the JJ equiped mechs lock the legs slots with two unneeded JJ and to compound that issue the legs will have suboptimal armor and no ability to up it...the omnimechs are locked in their armor and IS...all u can do is add armor via internal slots...problem is almost every-single-mech in the game has random crap in vital low slot areas like the center torso/leg/head...meaning u cannot up armor those locations
this makes using most mechs annoying to impossible with the way missions are multistage and the fact that ur star will be expected to kill 1-2 regiments per mission...for example the daishi widowmaker (and ALL omni-variants) has one leg that iirc has something like 50 armor with no way to up that...thank god the other leg has 2 free slots...i cannot tell u how many times i was limping along with one leg...
the supposed superiority of the clans is a joke in this version of the game...u have next to zero freedom to actually do much to ur mechs...the omni nature as represented here is actually a huge negative...there is zero advantage to an omni mech as oppossed to the IS mechs used in mercs...and the story while cool is ruined by the fact that u fight in almost every mission multiple REGIMENTS of mechs with 1 star...i mean u ill fight and kill 108 mechs in single mission minimum...it gets ridiculous after a while...and playing the GB expansion in the fourth mission where u fight smoke jags during the mission they straight up cheat by using warships/dropships/areospace fighters and everyone on ur side is like 'their clan but they are smoke jags" as if that explains it...meh
overall get it on a serious sale and still expect to be disappointed

If you liked MW5 mercs youll probably like this. its a story focused clans game with all the same systems as MW5 really. The clan attitude is definitely present from the story and acting though.

Wish I could give this a "neutral" review. Basically the game is a bit of a mess, but it's still a fun mechwarrior game. So if you're a fan of the genre, go buy it, otherwise I wouldn't bother.
The Good:
- Mechs!
- Cutscenes are pretty good
- There is a campaign with a story that makes sense
- Gameplay is fun. It's basically the same as mechwarrior online or mechwarrior mercenaries, so if you play(ed) those, you know what's coming.
The Bad
- Unoptimized mess. CPU throttling, low FPS, stuttering etc. I'm running a 3080 and sometimes i'm hitting 20fps, it's crazy.
- The menu is mindbogglingly bad. Menus in top left corner have the okay button in the bottom right, on PC. The pathing in the menu is also not intuitive, it's just bad.
- Voice acting is terrible, almost all character anoy the hell out of me because of it
- Faces in the cutscenes are really odd, they shake a lot so all characters look either terrified or fuming mad. This makes the voice acting even worse, as it doesn't fit the visuals.
- The collecting aspect of mercenaries is gone, there's basically unlimited money/repairs and getting a lance mate or 2 blown up has 2 consequences.
But it's still a Mech game, so i'm having fun :)

I got bored with this before finishing the game fully. Very uninspired game. This company preys on the goodwill of fans, if you took this game out of the battletech universe, it would have negative reviews.

I am blown away with this game. First introduced to Battletech Universe with Mech Assualt on XBOX way back when and though it was pretty cool. Then Years Later with Battletech PC Game made by Hairbrained Schemes was also impressed and enjoyed. Then I've Played MW5: Mercs and was initially impressed with game play but felt it lacked (of Course) Story. Well that has Changed with Clans. Story telling was a breath of fresh air and very immersive with characters along with Ghost Bear DLC. I started reading the Battletech books because of this Clans with shed light on what was going on (Start with Battletech Jade Phoenix Trilogy to shed light on the Way of the Clans). Being a kid gamer who has grown up in the 90's the music is very nostalgic and well composed. Highly recommend if someone wants a game series steeped in lore and numerous ways to get into as well (there is also a Table Top Game thats Called Battletech where all of the started)
