Titanfall 2 (PS4)

Excellent game excellent price

Let me start by saying this. This is an EA game and there is NO paid DLC, NO season passes required and NO microtransactions. All current content and future content released such as maps and game modes will be completely free. EA should be commended for that alone.Luckily on top of that its a really fun game too. And if like me you thought a game about mech's isn't really your thing stick around because i thought that before i bought it too.CAMPAIGN:If you have played games like Call Of Duty but became tired of the same gameplay year after year then you really should consider this game. You'll easily be able to pick this up and start playing if you're used to those types of game. So while the gameplay is familiar things such as gun combat and wall running feel so well refined and fluid (taking out a bunch of enemy soldiers while wall running then jumping to a roof top and taking out more) is just so satisfying.The time in combat outside your mech VS inside it worked really well, possibly edging towards more combat outside on foot which i personally liked but the mech battles were also more fun than i expected with a good selection of different classes you should be able to find one that suits your play style.There is also plenty of different weapons for your soldier while on foot, you'll constantly be finding a different gun and they all feel and handle a little different but all feel responsive and fun to use.The storyline i'll be honest im not even 100% sure what was going on half the time but i was having enough fun that i didn't care. There's even dinosaurs in this game you'll fight against, i don't know why but they're there! and that's pretty coool. The story doesn't take itself too seriously anyway. Its self aware and knows you just wanna shoot and blow stuff upThe graphics are on par with any other triple A game and some of the environments especially at the beginning of the game look so good.There's even puzzles in this game, one stage in particular where you are constantly time traveling back and forth while wall running to access certain areas blocked in the other time period. It's nothing too difficult but it makes the game more than just a brainless shooter.Overall the campaign is good fun. A little short but most people get these games for the multiplayer so moving on to that.MULTIPLAYERThis really gives COD a run for its money. As previously mentioned all the content is free including future maps and game modes etc.There is plenty of customization for both the soldier and titan such as weapon and suit camos which you will gradually unlock as you play as well as new skills, abilities and upgrades to your weapons etc.There's a good selection of game modes, generally you'll start each match off on foot and as you get more kills you'll get the ability to call down your mech then its a war between the two teams titans. This makes you play more strategically for example if your team mate is in a mech and you are still on foot you can jump on top of an enemies mech, steal the battery from it and put it into your team mates mech to give them an advantage.Still not sure about mechs? There's a game mode without mechs with just on foot gun combat similar to COD but in my opinion much better. I haven't played a COD game for a while now but here's why i think Titanfall is better especially in this game mode.No ridiculous spawn pointsYou're not getting killed every 5 secondsThe maps are bigger in Titanfall and actually well thought outYou can play more tacticallyThe gun combat just feels really responsive and has that addicting feeling like COD but just slightly better in my opinion.This game is hugely underrated at the moment and why they would release it wedged in between the release of Battlefield and Infinite warfare is anyone's guess but its definitely a game you shouldn't overlook and if you haven't bought Infinite warfare yet you really should consider this instead. Did i mention future DLC is free?!EDIT: Just to keep this review as accurate as possible there has been a recent update which has added a few microtransactions but purely cosmetic and mainly just new skins. The new update has also added a new free map as well as other features.

WOW! Is how to describe Titan Fall 2. In fact I'd give it 10 stars if Amazon allowed it.This leaves the new Call of Duty and Battlefield in the dust. You can tell this game was made by two people responsible for Call of Duty Modern Warfare. The two guys that Infinity Ward sacked. Now I know why Call of Duty went downhill from after Modern Warfare, these guys where the creative minds behind the outfit.How to describe it?Campaign is really good, albeit I haven't finished it yet as I'm too addicted to Multiplayer. Multiplayer is fun whether you're good at it or not, after a few days playing it I soon got much better regularly scoring at the top of the board.I prefer "Attrition" which is like Team Death match on cod... but very different. You run around killing the other teams Pilots, they're called Pilots as they Pilot the big Robots that all have their own abilities. As you run around a percentage meter is rising, when it hits 100% you can call your Titan Fall Robot down. It lands and is surrounded by a force field so the other team can't attack it until you're in it. Then you run around killing enemy team members, Grunts (little soldiers on the other side) Reapers (Smaller automated robots) and Spectres (smaller again little robots)... You can pull up force fields to stop other Tital Falls damaging you as much.Occasionally the enemy will jump on your Tital Fall, if you have an anti rodeo electric smoke canister you can use that to hopefully kill the little pest. If not jump out of the Titan Fall and shoot him off it. You can also jump on the enemies Titan Fall and pull it's battery out, halving it's health. Then jump back on it and put a grenade in it... and shoot it till it explodes.A tip to help you get on other Titans to sabotage them is to select the "hook perk" and use it to pull yourself up onto it and remove it's battery. Another tip for killing the enemy is to be able to see where they are better, find roofs and rocks etc to climb up on to, to get a birds eye view and kill the enemy.Use the 3 shot hemlock.... it's very accurate and often gets you a kill with one pull of the trigger. All in all, I won't even entertain the idea of playing Call of Duty now I have this game... it's not remotely comparable in fun.Buy this game you will 100% not be disapointed!
