The storyline is heavy politically, with a ton of history and backstory that builds upon past MechWarrior games, but thankfully there is also an individual human element too, as players take control of a rookie pilot who must deal with the loss of his father and navigate a galaxy-wide conflict. Sadly humanityвЂ™s war mongering ways remain the same. Set in a future where humanity has colonised several planets across the galaxy, with the advances in technology comes advanced warfare in the form of battle mechs.

While the PC launch in 2019 left a lot to be desired, the experience on Xbox platforms is certainly far more complete and polished, and launches alongside the Heroes of the Inner Sphere expansion pack.

Perhaps gaming trends have changed and the MechWarrior name doesnвЂ™t mean as much as it once did, but still even in 2021 this Xbox release is as ambitious as they come. Ideally, it should have had far more fanfare and hype than what it got on launch, which was almost next to nothing. At the very least, being on Game Pass will bring it to the attention of the serviceвЂ™s massive subscriber base, but regardless of how long it stays on, this is the kind of experience that deserves to be in the Xbox Hall of Fame. The launch of MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries has however been rather messy and unceremonious.
