In Titanfall 2, this is normal gameplay.ĭespite the lightning fast pace of these matches, there still is a prevailing sense of strategy in Titanfall 2, albeit in a subtle way. One second you’re rodeoing a rival Titan to sabotage its shields, and the very next second you’ll be calling down your own Titan to slice rival Pilots into shreds, before self-destructing your Titan while surrounded by the rival team. As the game’s intensity ramps up to breakneck speeds in just one or two minutes, most mid- and late-game sessions are just filled with chaotic clashes between everyone, either on-foot or in their Titans, with AI-controlled grunts on both sides that really adds an additional layer of immersion. The game does exceeding well at creating the absolute carnage of war. While the plot itself is predictable and uninspiring, especially considering the multitude of unique intricacies the Titanfall universe holds, the single-player campaign is a total joy to play - something which caught me off guard. We play as Jack Cooper - perhaps the most generic name this reviewer’s ever heard - a rifleman who, as the sole survivor of a horrific ambush, is forced to take up the mantle as the Pilot of his commanding officer’s Titan, BT-7274, in order to fulfil his mission. Learning from its past experiments, Titanfall 2 forgoes the first game’s “online story” experience for a more straightforward single player campaign. Titanfall 2’s brilliance comes in its understanding of the thrills of momentum, and the unabashed embracing of its ludicrous premise of giant robots - culminating in a game that boasts both an engrossing single-player campaign and an addictive multiplayer. All of this is shown via cutscene, but the thing that sets Titanfall 2 above previous spectacle shooters is that we, the players, are absolutely capable of doing the exact same feats and more. In the opening cutscene of Titanfall 2’s campaign, we witness a Pilot shattering the front lines and completely turning the tide of a battle in mere seconds, before calling down a Titan and engaging in a brutal giant-robot fistfight with a rival broadsword-wielding Titan.
