Mechwarrior 5 Ratings & Reviews

80 / 100

MechWarrior 5 is a showcase of nostalgic, joyful mech combat.

IGN

8.1 / 10

MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries checks most of the boxes I would have asked for out of a modern revival of the series.

Metro GameCentral

8 / 10

A highly successful return for the long dormant sci-fi simulation series, and what it lacks in accessibility it makes up for in terms of satisfyingly tactical action.
