Terminator: Resistance Reviews
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.

Terminator Resistance suffers from a chronic lack of charm that can't even be saved by evoking its hallowed source material.
Turning the Terminator franchise into an enjoyable game experience should be doable, but not on the budget Teyon have tried to do it on. Last-gen issues make this a time traveller that nobody wanted to come back.
Unlike Rambo: The Video Game, Terminator Resistance does not have this thing more (or less) adding a nice aspect to its nullity. Here, production value has grown, Treyon offering this time a title first thought for those wanting to fall asleep in less than two or designed for time travelers, the title edited by Reef Entertainment seems not only zapped movies after T2 but the evolution of FPS and video game for fifteen years. Nevertheless, by drawing all the same here and there in the ideas to success of the kind, it is a beautiful base of student project which is offered to those eager to hurt themselves.

If you're a fan of the Terminator movies, there is some appeal here, even if only a little. There are even a few nods to moments from the films - like the lorry from the chase in Terminator 2 - and the mid 80s / early 90s version of future tech that appears adds to the nostalgia boost. Despite the different endings you can unlock, it's unlikely that you'll go back and replay it unless you really loved the experience.
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 is a mediocre title. Gunplay in not so bad, but the game looks old and never offers engaging or exciting moments. Fun for a couple of hours and nothing more.

This average shooter still managed to become the best Terminator game out there. All thanks to Teyon love and respect to the original films.

For unsightly graphics Terminator: Resistance hides a great project that offers nonlinearity, well-prescribed plot, interesting characters and a really great atmosphere of the gloomy future. Of course, the lack of budget is very noticeable in the animation and physics, but you really feel that the game is made with love.

Terminator: Resistance continues the trend of bad Terminator games and is better off being Terminated into the bin. You won't be back to play this one, that's for sure.
Expectations were never going to be too high for Terminator Resistance. Alarm bells always go off when something like this pops out of the shadow of a movie release with little fanfare, but it's remarkable how backward this game manages to be. It elicits no real emotional impact of any kind beyond maybe surprise when you find out this isn't a HD remaster of some forgotten Xbox 360 title, but a brand new 2019 release. The low budget can be forgiven for some shortcomings, but this clearly didn't get the time it needed to compliment said budget's restrictions.
After Rambo The Videogame, the Teyon team tries again with a videogame transposition of the Terminator saga. The result? Not really perfect.

Had Terminator: Resistance released in 2008 it may have been considered one of the better licensed games of its time, but we've come a long way in ten years. In 2019, with excellent licensed titles becoming more common, Terminator: Resistance is mediocre at best. Fans may like it, but they deserve better. Maybe they'll get that game in an alternate future - who knows - but they certainly didn't today.
Can tell that this isn't a perfect one but I am also definitely sure that they will do a lot better in their next games.

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.
Terminator: Resistance can't seem to distinguish itself from the popular gaming shooter genre. Albeit some side quests and action sequences can keep the action afloat, it's not enough to come back to for this winter season.
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 is a simple tie-in, but it doesn't push the boundaries as much other entries in the genre.

Terminator Resistance is a mediocre game. This shooter just isn’t satisfying enough to recommend a buy. It has its fun moments and treats the source material well. But if you’re looking for a fun first-person shooter, you’d best look elsewhere. Terminator Resistance is definitely one for the long-time fans. Overall it feels like this game could’ve been better than it was.
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.
