Terminator: Resistance

Terminator Resistance = Amazing! realistic creation

How did a game with this licence get released with so little attention? And yet, after playing it I can say it is THE BEST terminator game there ever was! If you always wanted to play a game based on the future of 2029 depicted in Terminator 1 and 2, this is the game for you. Every detail is spot on, most of the game is in the bleak and dark city ruins, looking exactly like in the movies. To make it more interesting, there are few missions in other locations as well. Gameplay is a bit like mix of Deus Ex and Fallout, or Dishonored - you have missions with interludes in shelters, you gain experience and learn skills, collect weapons, tradable objects and resources for crafting, gameplay is almost emergent :). Story is competent and better than what you get from usual videogame story and much better than what is usually found in licenced games. Some dialogs could be better, but the game really does not stand on dialogs. And in the end (after mission lovingly recreated from movie) you even get slideshow for different characters, Fallout style! Only other games that come even close to this are Terminator:Future Shock and Terminator: Skynet, but while good, those are really dated and janky as every Bethesda games. AI could be better here, but given the fact that you can't save everywhere and that for good part of the game a single terminator is a really strong enemy (and is often encountered in groups), I think it would be too hard if enemies were smarter, coordinated and chased you better and for longer time. Maybe people who say the game is too easy did not play later missions? Also the game does not work with themes from later Terminator movies, which is good if you ask me :) I have read that the game looks bad. It runs on Unreal Engine 4 and looks exactly like the movies, what is bad about that? This is a game by fans for fans! Highly recommended!

As a game this product doesnt do anything special. Simple shooting mechanics, light RPG elements, somewhat linear gameplay, easy difficulty (I played on extreme and I cant call it anything, but medium difficulty) and the story is only suited to those who are familiar with the franchise, specifically. the first 2 movies. But boy, what an experience it was. The soundtrack was great, set the tone perfectly. The visuals arent anything special, neither is the artwork, but they work were well to give the feeling of the dystopian future setting. I enjoyed the characters, got immersed in my role and had a good time going through this adventure. And thats what was important. There isnt much replay value beyond the 8 hours it took me to beat the game, but that is fine. So summary, if you are a fan of the first 2 movies, this is a must. If you have no idea about the Terminator franchise, especially the first 2 movies, dont bother at all.

Not being in discount at summer sale, this time I decided to buy a cheaper discounted version of this game from a competitor. It was a big mistake to wait for a sale at gog, because this game is awesome and an absolute must play. Pros: - moderate system requirements - playing a different side story like a movie of the terminator franchise - amazing artwork - interesting little tech tree to invest exp points - optimized in having game fun - perfect mixture of action, stealth parts and exploration. Not so boring like deus ex or the thief series. - being right in the middle of the action from the beginning until the end of the game - sometimes pure action firework - big variety in mission design - superb synthie soundtrack and sound effects Cons: - do yourself a favor and forget about it

Title says it all. This game is a nice FPS in the Terminator universe, as you play a soldier who is trying to survive, with is friends at the apocalypse created with Skynet. Game as nice gameplay element were you can tinker with your weapon, create DIY excplosives to fight the robots that can range to a regular terminator, to a small silverfish or be HUGE bipedal tank. The fight mechanics are nice and you need to be careful not to take more than you can chew. But sometimes, fighting is a lost cause, and you have to stealthily dodge them. You have allies in this game, and they count on you, and you need to listen to them, it will give you element of their backstory and you'll learn more about them as it is an important story element. And the story is really good, and the Annihilation line DLC really enhance that. There are a few flaws thought. Melee and weapon seems weak, un-impactful. Melee looks like you just wave a pipe, and some weapon sound are maybe a bit too weak. But those are minor points, and the game is still good if you're looking at a Terminator RPG FPS that sometimes, remind a bit of Metro Exodus.
