I've decided that my A-Z of Steam play throughs should have some more variety in them. You may have noticed this recently that I'm just playing what appear to be random games, in a different approach to completing the list.
If it just so happens that I land upon something in a series that I own the rest of, then I'll play them. Now, to Titanfall 2. I never played the original. I have no desire to do so. To be honest, the only reason I purchased Titanfall 2 was becuase it was about $3; and I had heard many good things about the game.
I was told that the Singleplayer campaign was amazing. I was told that it constantly introduces new ideas and keeps you hooked with fast paced gameplay, and tons of action.
I was very displeased that at the commencement of the game, the first task I really needed to do was wall running and some platforming sections. For those that have read reviews by me in the past, you will know that there is no genre of game that I hate more than platforming.
Titanfall 2 makes this somewhat tolerable and fun - for once, it has a first person perspective, and you get ludicrously powerful double jumps.
Titanfall 2 sees you become bonded to a mech, and as its pilot, you fight against the forces of an opposing force, who have started conducting operations on a moon. Turns out that they have some really evil planet-destroying tech that you need to stop them from using, or the aptly named planet of Harmony will be destroyed.
There's a lot of variety in the game, but the one criticism that I have of the weapons is that they all feel somewhat the same, at least when they are projectile based.
The visuals in the game are rather excellent for a game of its age, and the sound production makes everything sound very satisfying and meaty, be it through headphones or speakers.
The other downside to the single player campaign is the fact that game is incredibly, incredibly short - I started the campaign at about four in the afternoon, and was finished by seven forty in the evening.
For $3, that's great value, but if you had paid full price for the title upon its release, I doubt that you would have been really happy with that. Sure, there was meant to be a multiplayer mode in the game, but I wasn not interested in this at all, if it even worked at all...
If you're looking for an action packed romp (and can afford to download 65GB for those four hours of entertainment) - this is much better value than a cheese burger. It's probably healthier for you, too.
