If you like generic action games from 2005 you'll love this. I bought it on sale for $10 and I very much regret it. The massive amount of positive reviews are from players who love the Terminator series. I love the series as well, but not enough to pretend that this is in any way a good game.

9/10. Just like RoboCop: Rogue City, this game is a glorious, defiant middle finger to soulless, bloated AAA cash-grabs. Teyon proves once again that a passionate Double-A studio who actually respects the IP will always make a better movie game than a massive corporation. This isn't just a great shooter—it is the absolute best piece of Terminator media we have received since Judgement Day in 1991. Instead of trying …

Ya know this game took me by complete surprise. Its not the most polished game in the world, or has the greatest voice acting in existence, but its a love letter to the first two Terminator movies and....its actually a lot of fun. Now mind you, this was made for Terminator fans without a doubt, if you're coming in here thinking you're gonna play something revolutionary think again. This game clearly robs mechanics …

A very mediocre and janky game that just happens to do everything that a Terminator game needed to. A lot of the time, Terminator: Resistance reminded me of Metro Exodus in gameplay and in structure. Linear, slow, methodical first person shooter with some semi-open world segments sprinkled throughout. Having played on Extreme, the Terminators in the game were initially something to run away from, something to be …

The True Future War: Immersion in Terminator's Wasteland Terminator: Resistance is a game that understands its source material on a fundamental level. It doesn't aim to be a groundbreaking game, but rather a deeply immersive and authentic simulation of the post-Judgment Day hellscape first shown in the original films. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3542727122 The game's greatest achievement …

Critics, per Wikipedia
Terminator: Resistance received "mixed or average" reviews from critics, while the PS4 version received "generally unfavorable" reviews, according to review aggregator website Metacritic. The Windows version received "very positive" user reviews from Steam players. Wesley Yin-Poole of Eurogamer called it "generic and boring". Alex Avard of GamesRadar called it the best Terminator game he had ever played, but wrote that "given the series' historically poor record when it comes to interactive entertainment, that's an admittedly low bar to clear." Avard also called it the worst game he had played in 2019. Zack Zwiezen of Kotaku favorably compared it with two earlier games published in the…

60 of 420 · most liked firstA weird thing about the Super Nintendo is that it had a TERRIBLE Terminator 2 game and a GREAT True Lies game despite the fact that T2 should make a great game and True Lies is about a middle aged couple in a marriage. True Lies even has a digitized Tom Arnold that mildly objects to wanton murder

I did not rush the main missions, I explored every corner of the map. - Graphics, controls, shooting are alright. It is generic FPS. - Weapon types are limited, and not much to do. - Skill levels require you to focus on certain things, but level requirements locks you. Also to level all skills you need max level + all skill books.…

Their first game, The Terminator (1990), manages to give you something of a GTA-like experience with a polygonal Los Angeles to roam around, either as hunter or hunted.

Terminator: Resistance From the same devs as the recent Robocop game, this was a complete surprise when I first played it, the developers had a clear love of the source material and it comes across so well.

This is what the third Terminator movie should have been, giving us the original future war aesthetic in video game format. It's interconnected to the first two movies in a faithful way where you can tell that the devs were fans, and truly cared for expanding the lore the right way. It also ignores all the garbage after the first two movies. I would LOVE for these devs to do an Aliens game with how accurate they are and how well they match…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Terminator: Resistance surprised me in the best way. It nails the universe in a way most modern franchise games don’t even get close to. The lore is treated with genuine respect, the atmosphere feels straight out of the Future War scenes we all grew up on, and the soundtrack ties it together with that unmistakable Terminator energy. For a AA title, it punches well above its weight. The world feels authentic, the tension is real, and the fan service is smart rather than cheap. If you’re a…

It's very faithful to the 2 original films and expands the core story on a greater level than any other sequel movie attempted and failed.

The individual elements are pretty good, but the bait and switch really brings it down. I prefer Outland (1981) for the capitalism in space stuff, and Terminator for the sci-fi monster movie stuff. The two themes are both good, but they don't reach a unification like they do in the sequel, Aliens. But Mickey 17 is a 10/12 that takes the individual elements of Alien, and makes a better story out of them. The aliens are…

neutral · AI labelView post →If you can grab this on a deep discount and you are a fan of the Terminator franchise and shooters, then this is the game for you. None of the game's mechanics, like levelling, crafting etc. are very deep, it's not an RPG by any means, but there are some shallow conversation trees from time to time. Ultimately, this is about upgrading weapons and shooting things. It is quite linear with a bit of exploration. There's a lot of jank and the game shows its age a bit, but I liked it.

The sound design for the plasma weaponry and the heavy, terrifying footsteps of T-800s are ripped straight from the film audio reels.

Even after mainstream critics largely dismissed or criticized it as a AA budget shooter with mid-2000s…
