And it's not like this is brand-new either Titanfall 2 was 4 years old by the time I finally got around to playing it. Ever since online multiplayer became such a cash cow (namely microtransactions.especially microtransactions) it's just so increasingly rare to see a game developer put this level of work into a single-player mode. It's not a long game either, I clocked about 6 hours to beat the campaign on Normal, but FPS's never really are.

While there is clearly a bigger story here, the immediate story is compelling enough and has interesting enough characters that you do not feel like you're really missing anything. Do I need to know more to understand what's happening within the context of Titanfall 2's campaign? No, I do not. Would I like to know more about what's going on? Sure. The other big reminder is how the game has a sci-fi setting and just throws the player into the middle of a big, ongoing conflict. And the increased movement capabilities not really seen in older FPS titles allowed some interesting platformer elements to be thrown in too. A wide array of weapons that actually have diversity between them, expansive and beautiful level design, a not-human partner that the main character grows to love, and more. Just everything about this game reminded me of the old glory days of Halo 3. What I do care about is a fantastic single-player experience I can run through while my crappy Internet drops randomly in the summer. Yes, FPS games (this one included) are mostly about online multiplayer. Here's hoping Respawn gets time to make a third with a nice beefy single player. Plus - I had no idea this and Apex Legends are set in the same universe. Overall I can heartily recommend Titanfall 2 if you want some FPS goodness, and one that isn't too short either. I can't tell you what the multiplayer was like because.like I said, I'm an old man. The campaign was almost too short, but it didn't outstay its welcome. There was alot of cool inventiveness, and the Cause and Effect level where you play with TIMETRAVEL was awesome. As I am an Old Man I cannot play snap shooting fast moving FPS in multiplayer (this old bones can only do arcade shooters like Halo, don't even ask me about fortnite) so I was keen to jump into the Single Player Campaign! And it was really fun! A surprisingly compelling campaign it is too, and although the story is pretty meh the fun central characters and really innovative level design were a blast. The sequel to a game I played, Titanfall 2 improves this by adding an actual single player campaign. This review is for the Titanfall 2 - PlayStation 4 - United Kingdom (2016) release
