Terminator: Resistance

I heard high praise for Terminator: Resistance, but I definitely wasn’t expecting a masterpiece! Despite having a very low budget, it manages to tell a story that perfectly ties in with Terminator 1 and 2. Furthermore, I’d even say that the people who say Resistance is the true Terminator 3 are completely right! It tells a story set during the infamous Future War that was teased many times in the movies but was never properly adapted into a movie for some reason. The gritty reality of the future that is overrun by Skynet and the aesthetics that have been established with the first two movies are quite dominant and being conveyed perfectly, so it is simply impossible to overlook this game for these two reasons alone. It also heavily respects and protects the lore consistency, which is quite rare for a game of this caliber. And by that, I mean the low budget that shows through in-game animations. However, one cannot simply deny the fact that Terminator: Resistance was made with a lot of love due to the reasons I’ve mentioned above. Despite having gameplay and animations that are straight out of the early PS3 era, it manages to keep things interesting by encouraging exploration in most of the levels since it has few RPG elements like Fallout and Deus Ex instead of being simply a story-driven shooter. It could be the best decision they’ve ever made because the Future War is unforgiving, and one constantly needs supplies to survive in this harsh reality, thus adding such elements was probably crucial for immersion. Apart from its gameplay and the story, the soundtrack is also worth mentioning, and it’s quite memorable despite being somewhat generic, but it stuck with me mostly because of how well it fit with the stealth scenarios where you need to hide from a T-800 due to a lack of weapons in the first few levels. And yes, how you approach the enemies is entirely up to you. In spite of the low budget, the voice acting is not bad either. In fact, it’s quite good. You can easily tell that both developers and the voice actors tried their best to bring this exceptionally crafted masterpiece to life, and I’m glad that they did. I just wish that Arnold's likeness wasn't so expensive to get, since he would've been a perfect addition to the Infiltrator Mode that lets you play as a Terminator in a cruel quest to wipe out the Tech-Com! [h1]TL;DR[/h1] An exceptionally crafted masterpiece with a low budget, but a lot of heart. It respects the lore consistency; therefore, it’s highly praised and acknowledged as the true Terminator 3. The animations and the gameplay consist of a few RPG elements, but the animations and overall gameplay lack for 2019 standards due to its budget constraints.

I liked the game. finished it including the DLCs

Hammer game, können sich einige Entwickler eine Scheibe schneiden

Одна из моих самых любимых игр ever. Ибо я фанат Терминатора с самого раннего детства - один из моих первых любимых фандомов. Очень благодарен создателям! Выбил в своё время платину на PlayStation, и купил игру ещё раз на ПК. Дешево, да и дополняхи заценить хочется =)

太好玩了，像看了一场电影

Not bad for the price point. There's not a big learning curve or a unique gameplay mechanic. A typical shooter game with a half decent story. Loved the ending, [spoiler]but everytime someone goes back with TDE they go back to a parallel timeline? Not the exact same one? So with the core destroyed, doesnt it mean they won in the current timeline? Even if terminators & protectors go back in time, they end up targetting them in a parallel timeline? [/spoiler] [spoiler] So in the grand scheme of things Skynet is bound to surive in some and humans are bound to survive in a few ? [/spoiler] Either way great game, had more fun than i expected

This in my opinion is the best Story Drivin Terminator Game. They really keep the atmosphere and the feeling of how it must've felt like to be in the future war with the machines. The music, gameplay, weapons, and Story OMG legit follows the events of the Movie. 10/10 would recommend. If only they had a multiplayer and a game mode for like rush missions. It would be huge.

For the first couple of hours it might feel like a generic post-apocalyptic survivor shooter with a terminator skin. Keep on playing and you'll realize that this is a beautiful love letter to the franchise.
