Well, three-four hours in, lots of stompy bots killed, one Mechwarrior lost in a most brutal fashion and the mercenary life is well and truly on its way. I'll admit, I'm getting my ass kicked in the weirdest ways occasionally, as this game seems to have a heftier learning curve than XCOM and an Eve-like impenetrability in mechanics/UI sometimes, but I'm having a blast.
The story missions are enjoyable, the voiced enemies are delightfully menacing and I have bad guys I can't fucking wait to find and kill in horrible ways. While making a hefty profit in the process.
Full review will have to wait until I've finished at least one campaign, but so far it seems solid.
