Titanfall Reviews
Titanfall is an accessible and thrilling first-person shooter that breathes new life into a stale genre.
Titanfall is perhaps the most accessible competitive multiplayer shooter ever, while still maintaining a fun competitive reward system for skilled players
You should always judge a game by what it is and not by what it's not, but there's a gulf between the way in which I want to interact with mulitplayer first-person shooters and the manner in which Titanfall has been provided. It won't stop me playing, but it might stop me playing for as long. That's a shame.
Is it the next evolution of multiplayer? Probably not, but it's so much fun to play that many will overlook its faults and find little time for anything else.
Answering the question of whether Titanfall lives up to the incredible amount of hype and anticipation is something that'll take a little bit more time. It's fun, damned fun, but the lack of single-player campaign, customization, and matchmaking options come as a bit of a surprise. What amazed me most though is what is layered throughout – accessibility. Titanfall makes every player feel like they have a role to play. Even if you are just crushing bots underfoot, you feel like a badass in a giant walking tank every second of play – I just wish there was more of it.
Titanfall may not be a revolution, but its combination of hulking war robots and athletic parkour makes for the most thrilling multiplayer shooter in years.
Titanfall stamps one gigantic robotic leg into the future; it has ripped off the door and the void is open. Others will come through behind it and change everything.
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.
Do you like fast-paced multiplayer shooters? Then I can pretty much guarantee you'll love the hell out of Titanfall.
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.
[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.
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]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.
An intensely fun multiplayer game that is accessible and fun for everyone. Not perfect, but that's what sequels are for.
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.
So many itches. And right now, a little voice tells me it's time to stop typing and go scratch.
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.
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.
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.
