I have just finished playing Titanfall 2 and I am blown away by how amazing this game is. I don't know how I missed this gem when it came out in 2016, but I am so glad I finally gave it a try. This game has everything I want in a first-person shooter: a good campaign, multiplayer, and a badass robot companion.
The campaign is the highlight of the game for me. It follows the story of Jack Cooper, a rifleman who becomes a pilot of a Titan named BT-7274 after his mentor dies in an ambush by the IMC, an evil corporation that wants to destroy the Militia, a rebel group fighting for freedom in the Frontier¹. The bond between Jack and BT is the heart of the story, and their dialogue is full of humor and emotion. The game does a great job of making you care about these characters and their mission.
The gameplay is fast-paced and fluid, with a lot of variety and creativity. You can wall-run, slide, double-jump, cloak, grapple, and more as a pilot, and you can switch between different loadouts and abilities as a Titan.
The game also introduces some clever mechanics, such as time travel and platforming puzzles, that keep the campaign fresh and exciting.
The level design is superb, with each mission having its own unique theme and challenge. The visuals are stunning, with detailed environments and smooth animations. The sound design is immersive, with realistic gunfire and explosions, and an epic soundtrack.
The multiplayer is also a lot of fun, with several modes to choose from, such as Attrition, Bounty Hunt, Capture the Flag, Last Titan Standing, and more. You can customize your pilot and your Titan with different weapons, skins, banners, and voice packs. You can also join a network of other players and chat with them, invite them to matches, or earn bonuses together. The multiplayer is well-balanced and rewarding, with no microtransactions or pay-to-win elements (Which is really refreshing).
Titanfall 2 is one of the best games I have ever played, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves shooters or sci-fi. It has a captivating story, a satisfying gameplay, and a loyal robot friend. What more could you ask for?
