As one of the only mech games currently available on the Xbox, you could do worse.

Mech Warrior 5 isn’t a looker, and the missions can be repetitive, but the gameplay is serviceable enough. I particularly love the sense of scale in the Mech hangar, along with the wealth of customization options (and visible wear and tear from damage). The teammate AI, on the other hand, is horrendous and I have no idea how it passed testing.

I’m no Battletech die-hard, but if you’re like me and had Mech Assault on the original Xbox and are bummed it’s not available on modern consoles, I’d say to give this a try while it’s still on GamePass. Just don’t expect it to keep you interested through the whole campaign.
