MechWarrior 5: Clans

I am a bit over the minimum specifications, but even on potato settings I have very bad framerate drops in the first map once a few enemies show up. I like the game but I am very disapointed by the lack of optimization. Will wait a bit, maybe patches would help.

Not only is MechWarrior back, its back with a lore heavy story! Even if you don't find the story any good, it's still a great mech combat sim. Absolutely recommend!

游戏挺好玩的但是没有中午所以差评，另外优化非常差爆炸特效之类的东西一多就卡得离谱

Macht es Spaß? Auf jedenfall. Grafik? Sehr gut! Sound? Ballert. Performance? Solala aber bei Unreal Engine 5 Spielen leine seltenheit. Ich könnte das Spiel bedenkenlos jedem Mechwarriorfan ans Herz legen die Kampagne bockt, und der Umfang ist genau richtig, nicht zu viel, nicht zu wenig, aber ich gebe trotzdem auch Kritik ab, denn..... Es ist weit weg von Bugfrei, vor allem wenn man die Kampagne im Co-OP spielt. Es ist nervig bei Missionsbeginn immer jemand neu einzuladen, da er raußliegt. Und es nervt das nach dem nutzen einer Reperaturbucht das HUD verbuggt ist. Wenn man da noch etwas Produktpflege betreibt ist das ein Mega gutes Spiel für das Geld. Denn der Preis ist gut für das was man bekommt.

A bit torn about this game. Original Mechwarrior 5 in 2019 was absolutely amazing. It was so great to get a new chapter of MW that it was easy to overlook the technical issues it had. MW5: Clans comes in 5 years later and it feels harder to give it a pass for the same issues. Some of them are downright silly: if you're playing on certain resolutions, the popups block the button that you need. You google the issue and it's the "safe zones" they've made to be on by default. Ok, you go in and change that and the next time you launch the game it's on again. It doesn't save the settings. The game looks just fine but the Unreal 5 engine feels sloggy for the visuals - to me the previous installment looked just as good and felt smoother. I just could not get my trusted HOTAS setup to work with MW5 Clans. Tried everything, nothing worked. Apparently a quirk of the new Unity, but plugging in a USB device shouldn't be this hard in 2026. The missions are even more tightly scripted than before and they very much follow the script to the letter. Step here and 5 enemies will appear from nowhere. Waddle the pre-marked route to the next checkpoint and do exactly this in this exact order and the next 5 enemies will literally drop from the sky on top of your squads. There's always the exact way to perform each mission. I personally liked the procedural freedom and focus on tinkering with your mechs of MW5 Mercs more. This is very much about the story. Yeah, the story. Some people seem to love it, and a good single player campaign is something I look for first when I'm buying anything on Steam. I'm sure it's very lore friendly, but dear lord. The story with the teenage protagonists is.. a bit painful to wade through. The writing is very much young adults-fantasy and if you’re old enough to have played Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries back in 1996, it’s just really hard to care about these characters. The cutscenes are done very well – the characters are voiced with professional actors and written fairly well, but when you're walking your 50 kph assault mech to the next waypoint and have to listen to teenagers gossip and ponder about their morals you start to wonder if the waypoints could have been just a bit closer to each other. Then again, like the other reviews show, stories are always a matter of taste. I personally hope the DLC storylines are bit more for adult tastes. TL:DR - a really great game with some weird design and technological choices. The solid, updated core of MW5 is still there. But hey, if you're here, you're going to buy it anyway, right? It's the newest Mechwarrior.

最序盤はひたすらサルベージに全振りしなきゃいけない取り戻し不可能な罠がある。 mech５みたいに敵倒してもアイテム手に入らないのとストーリー（分岐あり）が唐突で微妙なのが欠点。 味方機のフレイマーとマシンガン外してSレーザーかMPレーザーにヒートシンク積めば攻略は楽。
