Best mech games of all time

The term “mecha” was first used in Japanese after shortening the English loanwords “mekanizumu” and mechanical” in the English .

The earliest history of mechs sends us back to 1868 and 1880 , when Edward S. Ellis and Jules Verne introduced steam-powered and piloted mechanical animals in their novels.

Soon after, mechs were playing huge roles in sci-fi video games set in the future and/or outer space.

The first Supreme Commander made some waves, but its 2010 sequel found long-term success.

Supreme Commander 2 is an excellent strategy title with plenty of unique ideas, such as the construction-capable Armored Command Units (ACUs) The Zone of the Enders games still hold up as some of the strongest mech-centric games ever.

Titanfall 2 might be the second spot on our list, as it's half- boots-on-the-ground first -person shooter.

The story campaign is still among the best the FPS genre has ever seen, expertly mixing surprising emotional beats, carefully crafted level design, and unforgettable set pieces.

The fact a third Titanfall game hasn’t been announced yet is one of the biggest gaming tragedies of our time.
