Titanfall Reviews
And that's maybe Titanfall's biggest, and most forgivable flaw: it looks less interesting and novel than it actually is. It's such a fresh take on the military shooter, splitting the difference between the more deliberate pace of games like Battlefield and Call of Duty and the kinetic excitement of games like Tribes or even Counter-Strike. It just takes a while to see that, because Titanfall's presentation is so conservative.
Titanfall isn't a flawless game, but it's a heck of a lot of fun and quickly turns into an interactive addiction.
Respawn Entertainment's Titanfall is immediately fun to pick up and play, but astonishingly short on the long-term hooks that ground most multiplayer shooters.
Titanfall lives up to all the expectations established when it was first revealed, in a way that so few games are able ever to accomplish, and represents nothing short of first-person shooter multiplayer taken to new heights.
All things considered, Titanfall is insanely fun. After all the hand-wringing about odd visual resolutions, a 6 on 6 cap, and being little more than "Call of Duty with robots," it turns out that playing Titanfall is an absolute blast.
Titanfall doesn't reinvent the first-person shooter but comes close to nearly perfecting it. All the elements that we've seen fail before in other games somehow fit each other so well in this one. Titanfall accomplishes what it sets out to do: being the killer app the Xbox One needed.
If Titanfall included private matches and a solid single player story the game would be banging on the door of 10/10 but these glaring misses are too big for a full price retail game.
Titanfall is the game Microsoft's new-gen console has been waiting for: a fast, frenetic mix of parkour gunplay and agile mech combat that makes for an incomparable shooter experience.
Thankfully enough, Respawn and Titanfall did indeed deliver on the high quality that came to be expected from this game's immense amount of hype and marketing. While highly-advertised games often run the risk of not living up to expectations, it is very refreshing to see that Titanfall goes above and beyond in terms of quality.
It's definitely one of the most entertaining multiplayer shooters we've ever played, but it's still too rough around the edges to truly challenge any of the incumbents right now. Still, Titanfall stands on the cusp of this new generation, ready to blaze its own path to greatness. Titanfall is not a perfect game, but it sure is fun. Sometimes, that's all you need.
So many itches. And right now, a little voice tells me it's time to stop typing and go scratch.
Titanfall, the Xbox One's first big tent-pole release, thrills with fast-paced mech-shooting action that appeals to FPS noobs and vets alike.
An intensely fun multiplayer game that is accessible and fun for everyone. Not perfect, but that's what sequels are for.
[I]t takes a lot to bring me back into the online shooter fold, and Titanfall has definitely dragged me back in. I can see myself enjoying this for months to come; I just hope they deliver enough support to keep it interesting beyond that.
It isn't the completely revolutionary game changer some thought it would be, but it's certainly a huge shot in the arm for the genre.
[I]n Titanfall's case, the failure to implement a strong narrative is ultimately inconsequential. Players will tell their own stories simply by jumping and jetting through the vertical environments, experimenting with parkour and, of course, causing destruction in the seat of those towering Titans.
In the end if you own an Xbox One, or have been on the fence to buy one, this game should give you the justification to have Microsoft's newest console in your home and have you utter the words "Xbox, Record That" as you play.
Do you like fast-paced multiplayer shooters? Then I can pretty much guarantee you'll love the hell out of Titanfall.
No game can live up to the level of hype foisted on Titanfall, but few games can be this hyped and still satisfy the end user. Respawn Entertainment most certainly satisfies, providing a solid shooter with a laudable amount of unique extras draped over a durable and familiar framework.
