    I didn't play very long so my review might not have been the same if I kept playing. But I couldn't keep playing and thought I'd share why. I don't care about graphics, not everyone has the budget for it, I just want a good game. It didn't know if it wanted to be a shooter or a stealth game and did very poor at both so neither was fun.

I don't care about graphics, not everyone has the budget for it, I just want a good game. It didn't know if it wanted to be a shooter or a stealth game and did very poor at both so neither was fun. You couldn't just run out there and start shooting because you need to conserve ammo and if multiple enemies detected you it would be difficult to survive. If you tried to be stealthy it was very difficult to sneak around since it's very linear. You move very slowly unless you sprint and the enemies move around fast so sneaking around objects felt frustrating. You could only use thermal vision if you didn't run...and made walking even slower and you couldn't see your objective markers while using it so it was very annoying constantly clicking it on and off. If they focused on making it either a real shooter or a real stealth game it could have been good but trying to make it both and doing it poorly just felt like I was in a straight jacket and couldn't do anything. The mechanics might have worked if it was open world like Fallout because at least then there'd be plenty of space to sneak around.

    It seems most people are comparing this game to other Terminator games...in that case, it's probably kinda good.    … Expand

    It's just ok. It's mainly the enemies that let this down. The enemy mechanics and graphics are pretty poor. I've played for about 2 hours and I already think I'll move on to something more fun.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jeu plus que moyen malheureusement....
    Fan de la licence Terminator, j'ai été satisfait par quelques éléments sympa de fan service :
    [spoiler] modélisation de Robert Patrick en humain, avant que Skynet ne le transforme en T1000 [/spoiler] , certains décors familiers (l'hopital psy, les balançoires du parc, le refuge du 1er film)

    Le jeu se place dans le futur dépeint lors des deux premiers opus ciné, et chronologiquement avant le premier film. C'est un long couloir, doté d'une technique en retard de quelques années (ce qui est raccord avec le scénar, au passage), certaines textures sont un peu baveuses, du glitch de textures est souvent visible si l'on colle trop les murs et qu'un angle passe par là, l'optimisation est .... perfectible, pour des graphismes de ce calibre (100 fps de moyenne, mais d'inexplicables chutes récurrentes à 38 fps font tâche)
    Au final, un jeu qui occupe, de par son scénar, une dizaine d'heures, et qu'on apprécie de finir car à la fin, ça commence à devenir long !    … Expand

    Very weak game, both technically and in terms of playability. Low-budget craft.

    Я не знаю как можно было выпустить такой слабый проект . В игре все плохо ,начиная от сложности и заканчивая технической составляющей. Графика очень мыльная ,ФОВ ниже плинтуса ,весь мир выглядит пластмассовым ,анимации удручающие ,геймплей скучнейший до получения плазменного оружия .После его получения слово "скучно" будет слишком скудным чтобы описать происходящее .Никакие механики в игреЯ не знаю как можно было выпустить такой слабый проект .

В итоге мы имеем игру ,созданную на базе франшизы ,чтобы срубить бабла на фанатах ,а цена у игры не маленькая для такого качества игры .К покупке крайне не рекомендуется .… Expand

    The music is good.

    The rest of the game is such a slog with mindboggling design-choices that left me shaking my head. I guess the positive reviews are just desperate attempts of wishful thinking. Maybe the reviewers just remember the actually good short last part of the game? Or the intro? Because after the good first 30 minutes or so the game takes a total nosedive.

    Because after the good first 30 minutes or so the game takes a total nosedive.
    Forced dialogue and annoying babbling kids are bad enough, but what the hell did the design-team think, when they decided to play a big portion of the game during DAYLIGHT?!

    The daylight-sections look just plain ugly. Really really ugly. The strength of the game, are nearly all sections that play at night.

    I mean: People wrote in their Reviews how the game is like they've always imagined an original terminator-game would look, after comparing it to the first two movies.
    But didn't the flashbacks show us battles during THE NIGHT?!

    Weapons and hit-detection feels kinda off (it gets a little better though, when you get your hand on some futuristic weapons. - Unfortunately you'll get them very late in the game!).

    The stealth-mechanics feel very clunky, maybe thats the fault of lacking real alternative routes. There are airducts and small reroutes at some scarse points, but so many ways are just artificially blocked or funnel you right through enemy-positions.    … Expand

    I dont know why, but it feels like S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
    Most underrated game of 2019.

    Terminator: Resistance shows a bunch of potential, even if it doesn't always meet it. I was happily surprised with deeper than expected progression, and great dialogue and relationship building. But playing the game I feel stuck in the past, with visuals from yesteryear meeting good but standard gunplay. The worst part is watching the newest piece, the Annihilation Line DLC, take a step back. The Wolfenstein series does better in this sub-genre, but Terminator: Resistance is still a lot of fun to play, which says something about where it could go if Teyon gets another shot.

    As a shooter, Resistance is rather mediocre. But as a Terminator game, it's great. [Issue#244, p.52]

    Boasts about all of its additional mechanics but it doesn’t quite pull off being a regular shooter while looking like from a decade ago. [01/2020, p.56]
