I liked this game, I really did.

But when you realize that AI completely ignores everything and everyone to focus you, it totally breaks immersion and forces you to play in a single way - tank.

Like you will literally see enemy mechs walk through and around 3 of your AI allied pilots to rush you.
A pity, really.

Very addictive and satisfying game, the AI though needs more work, like pathfinding and lance formation at least. On some maps with canyons and complicated terrains you can clearly see the limitations of the bots AI.

The base game is pretty good, and it was very fun running around the galaxy as a merc, getting bigger better mechs/guns. In fact, I actually forgot to play the story I was supposed to be playing in parallel, which was fairly weak and wasn't particularly interesting.
I did get about 30-40 good hours out of it, but the last bit started to feel like a slog, and that's partly due to the relatively poor AI, both yours and the enemy. I wish the enemies were a bit more engaging, and didnt always auto-target you and to have had more control over your friendly mechs. I suspect when its 4 player COOP together it might be good/better, but unfortunetly I didnt have such an option.

Still, had a good time stomping around and I will probably reinstall in the future when Im bored doing other genres and just want a mech-driving experience.
Im almost tempted to say this really made me want to play the decling free2play Mech Warrior Online because that does have bits of good combat that this game really lacked.
