| Thema: Rock Paper Shotgun Review... klingt nicht gut | Antwort auf: 7 mal werden wir noch wach... von Escobar | |
| [https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2018/04/24/battletech-review-pc/] [...] How could I not enjoy a game that might as well have been made just for me? Eventually, though, I had a moment of minor epiphany. You have, I trust, played a Civilization game or six in the past. Y’know how thrilling it is in the early and even middle stages of a campaign, where the majority of your decisions feel meaningful and the ratio of you doing stuff vs you watching stuff happen is very much on the side of the angels? And you know how, in most Civs, so much of the late game collapses into a slow-motion war of attrition, these gigantic empires slugging away at each other with all the energy of a 58-year-old boxer in the eleventh round? And how that essential ratio inverts, until ultimately far, far more time is spent observing than doing? A BattleTech battle feels like that from the first turn of each battle. The scales are tipped massively, maddeningly in favour of watching rather than acting here. Every animation is too long, each action is followed by numerous ticker tape-slow stat and status updates, automated camera pans have all the speed and grace of a shopping trolley with four rusted wheels, and the entire game lapses into unexpected motionlessness for a few seconds as frequently as the exhausted pusher of said trolley. [...] Smart tactical thinking and a smattering of novel TBS ideas underpin BattleTech; it is not at all a mindless slugfest, and it is not afraid to be challenging. Positioning and range and weapon type and heat management and exposed flanks and permadeath and all that good jazz is here. I wish I could tap directly into it, bypass all this damned time-wasting. I like almost everything BattleTech does, but not so much how it does it. [...] If you want a picture of BattleTech, imagine a giant robo-tank silently firing an ineffective laser at another giant robot-tank – forever. Edit: Das PCGamer Review reißt diesen Aspekt gar nicht erst an und gibt 85. [https://www.pcgamer.com/battletech-review/] Auch die anderen Reviews klingen eher positiv, 80+ Kandidat.
