> PIPELINE SUMMARY CONNECTED...

The MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries community is currently a sea of copium and hype, with players praising the continued DLC support and the sandbox style that lets them live out their stompy robot fantasies. The positive camp is mainlining the new cinematics and lore expansion, while a few dissenting voices are review-bombing the voice acting and DLC install times. Overall, it's a love letter to the IP that has the base screaming for more mechs and more content, even if their wallets are crying.
