Terminator: Resistance Reviews
If you love the franchise as I do, there is some fun to be had in Terminator: Resistance, just go in with low expectations
Everything is here and had the potential to be proper Terminator cannon being a ‘prequel’ to both films. Instead, we’re left with a game that if it was a colour would be grey. Just there, nothing special, nothing stand out, just part of the colour spectrum, and easily forgotten over brighter colours. (How’s that for an analogy?) however it has its moments and if you can find it for a few quid then it’s probably worth picking up otherwise it’s the perfect game for Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Now.
I really enjoyed playing Terminator: Resistance. I am a huge fan of the Terminator series and I was extremely keen on playing this. I must admit, there isn’t much to say in terms of things that were difficult or that annoyed me during my time in Terminator: Resistance. There was one thing the fact you couldn’t jump over fences, or climb up walls which did irritate me, but that’s it. I particular liked one mission where your in a hospital, where you had to stealthily sneak around all the t800s without getting caught, and there were quite a few of them. It was hard, and it felt I was trying not to breath just to try and be that extra quiet, because getting caught resulted in pure annihilation. I wish the first half of the game had MORE of a Terminator feel though, because if you take away the machines you see, then you wouldn’t know what game your playing. The 2nd half of the game was really good, the closer you got to the ending the better it got. I was kind of sad when I did complete it mind. I really loved the interaction with John Connor, I felt it was great having a distant relationship with the iconic character that all us fans love, I just wish Arnie was in Terminator: Resistance too (ha wishful thinking). This is a must play for all Terminator fans!!! Terminator: Resistance receives the Thumb Culture Gold Award
Do you remember infamous Rambo: The Video Game that was published in 2014? Maybe you will be suprised but the same creators from Teoyn decided to make a game with another cult classic 80's movies ip. Unlike the previous game, Terminator Resistance is not a rail shooter. Is full fledged semi open game with story set in a future knowned from James Cameron's Terminator 1 and 2. It has own flaws. Story is not engaging and gamapley surely lacks of depth but game as a whole is not that bad. Maybe is also not the best but still playable and quite good if you not have anything to play at the moment or you are huge Terminator fan.

If someone traveled in time to terminate Terminator: Resistance's development before it started, the world wouldn't be any worse than it is right now. Only one less generic FPS would exist.

Terminator: Resistance is perhaps one of the best Terminator games, if not the very best, filled with fan-service and intense scenarios that aim to please hardcore fans and at the same time, anyone who cares for a great First-Person Shooter action game.
Terminator: Resistance doesn't do much new, and it doesn't do much well, either. It's lagging in almost every department, yet when you put it all together, it's a charming relic that may just surprise you.
Terminator: Resistance doesn't go down in history as technical masterpiece, as expected but it still delivers a good portion of entertainment if you can live with a lot of shortcomings. If you are looking for a fast platinum trophy or a short fast paced action shooter experience you can still take a look at this despite the terrible technical implementation.
