Terminator: Resistance Reviews
Terminator: Resistance is reminiscent of the days when tie-in games were released with practically every action movie. It's playable, but it's forgettable. It's fun to get your chance to shoot Terminators in the face and see John Connor being John Connor (instead of the mess he became in the various sequels), but beyond that, there's not much to recommend it. If you're a die-hard Terminator fan who is eager for a chance to visit the future of the original movies, then it might be worth a go. It's difficult to recommend for anyone else, though.
Terminator: Resistance's authentic looks fail to disguise its uninspired design and forgettable action.
There's the endoskeleton of a good movie adaptation here, but with dire graphics, dull combat, and tedious missions this low budget shooter is very easy to resist.
A pretty decent game, at least for what we were expecting, but it doesn't stand out in any aspect. Fans of the Terminator franchise will enjoy the story, characters and setting, but there are similar and better games in the market right now.

That’s the problem with Terminator Resistance. It’s weak. It’s unambitious. It takes a license and slaps it on a distinctly average game.
Despite feeling out of date in one too many key areas, Terminator: Resistance manages to serve up a campaign just about worthy enough for those looking to switch their brain off and enjoy some mindless action. Its efforts to heighten the importance of relationships and interactions go a long way to differentiating the experience but held back by technical deficiencies, the vision isn't quite fully realised.
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
I have found it to be a good game that, without being pretentious, entertains and offers a varied gameplay so that it does not seem repetitive. The story is very well adapted to the universe of the first two Terminator movies and it is very interesting. Don't expect the game of the year, but a title that fulfills the main function of a video game: to entertain and amuse. For anyone who is a fan of movies, especially those with James Cameron in the credits, I would dare to say that he is a must have if he is a gamer in addition to being a movie buff.

Terminator: Resistance is the kind of shooter-meets-RPG hybrid you've seen a dozen times before, and isn't a particularly impressive one. But everything it does, it does well enough to pass. I can't bring myself to hate Terminator: Resistance, I think it's a fun, cheesy game, but I also wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I recommended that anyone bought it at full price.
Terminator Resistance is a good idea poorly executed. Poor in the visual, it has mechanics that don't surprise despite having good stealth phases and elements from various genres. Its original story and its good atmosphere will please to fans of the franchise, but little else.

After the abberration that Rambo: The Video Game was, Teyon delivered Terminator: Resistance – not just a "cool game" in and of itself, but also the best Skynet-themed game to date. Destroying terminators is really satisfying and I’m certain that this game will be one of the biggest surprises of 2019 to some shooter lovers out there .

Terminator: Resistance fails to save the tie-in production related to the James Cameron saga. Of all the titles released over the years, this is probably one of the best, but it didn't take much. Teyon's video game does not present peaks neither from a narrative point of view nor from a playful one. If we talk about aesthetics then, we hardly reach sufficiency. We are not facing a total disaster, because there is some good mechanics, but it is really too little.

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.

Generic and boring, Terminator: Resistance's only redeeming feature is its fan service.
If you’re a fan of the Terminator franchise and are after a single-player experience that lets you faithfully enter its world, you won’t be disappointed with Terminator: Resistance.
In all the time I played, nothing really of any interest poked its head up from behind cover.
A typical licensed title with quirks and sluggish game elements that can stay afloat thanks to some emotional moments.

This is good Terminator game, but there should be better graphics, longer story and multiplayer.

Terminator: Resistance is an old-school, low budget shooter that does not shine in any of its game mechanics, and offers a weak and uninspired experience, even for long-time Terminator fans.

For a title set far into the future, Terminator: Resistance remains disappointingly locked into the past. With lackluster design, story, dialogue, AI, and combat, Terminator: Resistance is a genre example generations out of time. A full-price game offering a budget-price experience just makes it harder to recommend. No one can accuse Resistance of lacking potential, even ambition, but even the most dedicated Terminator fan should wait on a discount, or perhaps say Hasta la Vista altogether.
