I haven't played this yet but the authors review is heavily biased towards twitchy high speed Japanese Mecha Games and should not be given any consideration.
Battletech diverged from it's "Japanimation" leaning design decades ago. THESE 'Mechs are lumbering, 30-100 ton mostly bipedal war machines designed to flatten cities and sow terror. The aesthetic is all about big and stompy. You don't "dodge". You don't turn on a dime. Your jump jets aren't for flying, dodging, or juking. they are predominately for clearing obstacles and getting behind larger, heavier Mechs.
Author should stick to what they know and understand before writing a review on it.

@NEStalgia I enjoyed MW3, though I don't believe it was as SIM heavy as 2 was.

@LuXifer the Author IS playing on console, and their "review" is directly comparing it to Japanimation style Gundam Mecha.
These are night and day different in design and control. It sounds like OP needs to go back to playing weeb robot games.
