Ok shooter, solid entry in the series.
For me, Terminator: Resistance came out of nowhere. The only reason I know of it's existence was through steam recommendations, so I came here (GOG) to purchase. The Good: The highest praise I give this game is the proper fanfare it injects into the gameplay. No history re-writes, no over the top Hollywood twists, just the future that T1 and T2 alluded to. Not to mention the weapons, their sounds, even some of the locations are recognisable from the films. Everything after T2 in the movie realm has failed to deliver thus far, but Terminator: Resistance nails it. The Bad: The game lacks the polish of modern FPS games with some of the character models and animations a little bit old school (no mocap here folks). I found the gameplay style for the most part reminding me of Rage/Far Cry 3. The AI can be predictable at times, so I'd recommend playing on a hard setting. The resource gathering can be tedious at times also, with many rooms having 20 different items to collect, and searching for the hidden stashes barely made it worth the time spent for me. Overall: All in all Teyon have done a fantastic job with Terminator: Resistance. The story and gameplay were enjoyable and I just wanted to keep playing and progressing further. I would highly recommend this title to any major fans of the first 2 films. Being able to utilise the "phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range", shoot up Terminators and take on Skynet in a future after Judgement Day, makes this a must for any die hard fan. If you have no interest in the series, the gameplay alone will not satisfy you.
