A must-have DLC for MW5. Don't play the base game without it. New mechs, new career mode, new missions...it's essential.

Still my favorite classic FPS. Great level design and atmosphere. Really feels like Star Wars to me.

It's like The Binding of Isaac without the gross aesthetic.

I tried to like this game. As a huge fan of Wing Commander, X-Wing, and Colony Wars I was so ready to love a new space combat sim, even if it leaned toward the arcade side of things.

Ugh. Boring missions, terrible voice acting, and lousy checkpointing really strained by patience. The story is kind of fun, but the characters are all broadly-drawn stereotypes that completely undermine anything really interesting about it. The space combat is solid, but when you're grinding through another "destroy 20 enemy fighters" objective for the fourth time in the same mission, it gets a little old.

Worst of all, the strike suit itself actually sucks. It has a few powers that are essential to your mission objectives, but using it in regular dogfighting makes you far, far less effective. The controls change, so you're disoriented, and by design not as mobile. So you take a ton of damage as you spin around, trying to lock on to as many things as you can with your multi-missiles. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't, but it always felt like a bad idea.

It's a really, really pretty game though, and the music's amazing. Just, not much else about it is.
