Review: Titanfall 2
By daire-October 28, 2016
What I loved
The story mode, first and foremost. The last game got a lot of flak about not having a campaign and being multiplayer only. It didn't bother me much because the game itself was pretty good, but I understand why people were upset.
Story
Well, Respawn listened and delivered a campaign that will make up for the last game and then some.This is the story this game franchise deserves.
The opening live-action scene does a perfect job at showing just how special Pilots are and why they are such a big deal. After all the cool things the Pilot does to hype you up for the game, they let you know that the best part is the bond between the pilot and their Titan. This really drives home the kind of game Titanfall will be. Even if you did not care about a story mode before, you will after playing this one. It is incredible world building and gives character to the titans -- well at least the main character's Titan, BT 7274. No spoilers here, but you are in for a wild ride and plenty of cool levels that make me want to go through it again. This is something I have never wanted to do in a first-person shooter.Game Play and Multiplayer
The gameplay has always been unique and it just does not get old. Just playing as a Pilot is already very fun and could be a standalone game. They can wall run and do all sorts of unbelievable feats that get your adrenaline pumping every time you play.
Then, the Titans come in and it is like two games in one. There are all-new titans this time around, which are all fun and unique. I liked all the titans I have used, with the exception of Scorch, and find it hard to choose one in multiplayer.
There are much more customization and longevity in the multiplayer, which was a complaint I had with the last game. There are plenty of paint job you can have on nearly everything, from your pilot to your titan.
You can level up everything and complete challenges to give you a goal. You can also join a faction and level them up for rewards.
Multiplayer also has a system called Networks where you can connect with other groups of players to add a more social aspect to the game.
There is much more to this game than the last one when it launched but the best part of all is:
