I missed my share of jumps, but I always knew why I missed them and was able to make adjustments when I came back to the obstacle. I never felt out of control regardless of the circumstances. This would have been a nightmare had the controls used to accomplish these insane feats were anything but perfect. Players are expected to run, jump, double jump, and wall-run all over the place. Fortunately, Titanfall 2 nails it with both of them.Īll of the levels (in the single player campaign AND multiplayer) are designed with verticality in mind. The Titanfall experience hinges on two things: The experience of deftly navigating complex environments as a pilot and the experience of being an unstoppable titan juggernaut. None of it was bad enough to make me want to stop, but it was definitely noticeable. Some of the writing was a bit cliché and the entire game relies heavily on well-established tropes in the mecha genre. I won’t go out of my way to declare the story as “great” though. I kept finishing fights and thinking to myself, “This has to be it.” Each time I did that I was surprised by another chapter with another hilariously over the top scenario. But, it was a great campaign that was full of set piece moments and challenging fights. The single player campaign is short, so it might not be enough to justify a purchase if you aren’t interested in the multiplayer. It features a fully scripted single-player campaign complete with voice over, cut scenes, and a gameplay mechanic that I don’t want to talk about for fear of spoiling it. But, it consisted of a series of voice overs that played as you started and ended multiplayer matches. Its predecessor included something that you could maybe call a story. One of Titanfall 2’s biggest strengths is the fact that I have a story to talk about in the first place. Titanfall 2 is a game that manages to take what was, essentially, a lifeless shell, and breath life and personality into it. Some people might read that and think I am bashing the game for being derivative or unoriginal. Titanfall 2 is the EXO-Squad video game I have wanted to play since I was a teenager and never could.
