Terminator: Resistance Reviews
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.
It resembles more of a remaster of a last-generation videogame than a current-gen title. The story can be cool towards the end for Terminator fans as you see how the first two movies began, but it's not worth the boring gameplay, mediocre visuals, and uninteresting characters.
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.
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.
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.

Generic and boring, Terminator: Resistance's only redeeming feature is its fan service.
In all the time I played, nothing really of any interest poked its head up from behind cover.
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.
