  • I started MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries a while ago. Im not a big MechWarrior guy, but this is legit a fun game. You build up your little merc outfit, starting with a bunch of scrappy 20 to 40 ton mechs, and gradually replace them with 100 ton death machines.

    If I had to compare it to something, it’s a bit like Mount and Blade in space, with giant mechs duking it out. Lots of tinkering with the mechs loadout and reparing them after battles and keeping an eye on your pilots and cashflow for your merc unit.

    Oh, and it has co-op, which is a big reason I ended up playing it more than I planned to. I’m currently over 20 hours in, and I’m definitely going to keep playing it with my buddy as we collect bigger and badder mechs and take jobs from anyone offering a good payday.

    Also has a great modding scene with some really huge ones that add a lot of stuff and content.
