Nov 18, 2019We are clear that Terminator: Resistance does not come to compete with the great first-person shooter, but to demonstrate the possibilities offered by a title based on the universe of John Connor. Fans of the saga already have a title with which to face Skynet.
-
Nov 15, 2019Terminator: Resistance is not perfect - not by a long shot. The AI is almost catastrophically dumb for the most part and the array of pseudo open-world systems that it borrows would appear to be done better elsewhere. However, Terminator: Resistance also succeeds by being the first licensed title in a long time to properly craft an effective and emotional homage to a movie franchise that has deserved much better. Though faint praise, Terminator: Resistance is the best Terminator game in an age and one of the best guilty pleasures of the year.

Nov 17, 2019Terminator: Resistance doesn’t have a big budget behind it, and its shortcomings are obvious. If you’re not bothered about the license, there are many games out there that are a better option, but if you really want to play a game based on the movie, it can be interesting.

Nov 18, 2019Quotation forthcoming.

Nov 18, 2019Terminator: Resistance is the kind of shooter-meets-RPG hybrid you've seen a dozen times before, and isn't a particularly impressive one. But everything it does, it does well enough to pass. I can't bring myself to hate Terminator: Resistance, I think it's a fun, cheesy game, but I also wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I recommended that anyone bought it at full price.
-
Nov 15, 2019Terminator: Resistance is reminiscent of the days when tie-in games were released with practically every action movie. It's playable, but it's forgettable. It's fun to get your chance to shoot Terminators in the face and see John Connor being John Connor (instead of the mess he became in the various sequels), but beyond that, there's not much to recommend it. If you're a die-hard Terminator fan who is eager for a chance to visit the future of the original movies, then it might be worth a go. It's difficult to recommend for anyone else, though.
-
Nov 28, 2019This is not the Terminator game you have been waiting for. However, in a world that has subjected the license to countless sloppy video game adaptations, Terminator: Resistance shines among them as a beacon of hope. Teyon won't win any awards for this, but there is a clear love for the Terminator franchise and plenty of effort to back it up. Which is more than can be said about most licensed games, past and present.
-
Nov 18, 2019A pretty decent game, at least for what we were expecting, but it doesn't stand out in any respect. Fans of the Terminator franchise will enjoy the story, characters and setting, but there are similar and better games on the market right now.
-
Nov 15, 2019Terminator: Resistance provides a quite enjoyable experience as long as you're not a too demanding fan of the famous franchise and post apo universe ready to overlook a certain amount of issues.
-
Dec 21, 2019Terminator Resistance is a B game as they are hardly ever made these days. Many of the ambitious ideas are nowhere to be seen, but despite that the game is just perfectly playable and entertaining.
-
Nov 20, 2019Terminator: Resistance is a title that hardly reaches the sufficient rating, in all its aspects; but Terminator fans could still have fun for a few hours.
-
Nov 19, 2019Terminator: Resistance is an old-school, low budget shooter that does not shine in any of its game mechanics, and offers a weak and uninspired experience, even for long-time Terminator fans.
-
Dec 11, 2019Terminator: Resistance is a simple tie-in, but it doesn't push the boundaries as much other entries in the genre.
-
Playstation Official Magazine UKDec 17, 2019Moments of fan service and an ambition to do more than simple shooting can’t overshadow the aged feeling of Terminator: Resistance. [Issue#170, p.93]
-
Nov 29, 2019A rather bad experience with a total lack of any interest in both its gameplay and story, accompanied by aging graphics.
-
Nov 14, 2019Despite feeling out of date in one too many key areas, Terminator: Resistance manages to serve up a campaign just about worthy enough for those looking to switch their brain off and enjoy some mindless action. Its efforts to heighten the importance of relationships and interactions go a long way to differentiating the experience but held back by technical deficiencies, the vision isn’t quite fully realised.
-
Nov 24, 2019The result, however, is a jumble of mechanics that offers nothing really convincing, framed by a very low level technical realization.
-
Dec 16, 2019Terminator Resistance is yet another faulty game based on a movie. The fanservice is the best part of the entire game. Next to that, the graphics are bad, the Terminators are not that intelligent or frightening, and the world and missions are not interesting. Which could have been a shooter to remember has turned out to be another bad part in a series of bad iterations.
-
Dec 13, 2019It resembles more of a remaster of a last-generation videogame than a current-gen title. The story can be cool towards the end for Terminator fans as you see how the first two movies began, but it's not worth the boring gameplay, mediocre visuals, and uninteresting characters.
-
Nov 26, 2019Try to forget that this is a Terminator-related game. Now try toforget that we're in 2019. Maybe now you have what you need to enjoythis title. For a very short time.
-
Nov 25, 2019Terminator: Resistance continues the trend of bad Terminator games and is better off being Terminated into the bin. You won’t be back to play this one, that’s for sure.
-
Nov 21, 2019Turning the Terminator franchise into an enjoyable game experience should be doable, but not on the budget Teyon have tried to do it on. Last-gen issues make this a time traveller that nobody wanted to come back.
-
Nov 19, 2019For a title set far into the future, Terminator: Resistance remains disappointingly locked into the past. With lackluster design, story, dialogue, AI, and combat, Terminator: Resistance is a genre example generations out of time.
-
Nov 15, 2019Terminator: Resistance’s authentic looks fail to disguise its uninspired design and forgettable action.
-
Nov 15, 2019It’s weak. It’s unambitious. It takes a license and slaps it on a distinctly average game. And then stomps on the best bits of the license so all that’s left is the cool-looking T-800 and some vague references. What’s the weakest definition of terminate? To stop. Just stop. Target stopped. The Stoppernator.
-
Dec 2, 2019Boring, ugly and incredibly brief... though the latter is probably a good thing. Do yourself a favour and just rewatch the first two films in the franchise. You'll have a lot more fun with them than you'll ever have playing through this garbage.
-
Nov 18, 2019There’s the endoskeleton of a good movie adaptation here, but with dire graphics, dull combat, and tedious missions this low budget shooter is very easy to resist.
-
Nov 22, 2019Unlike Rambo: The Video Game, Terminator Resistance does not have this thing more (or less) adding a nice aspect to its nullity. Here, production value has grown, Treyon offering this time a title first thought for those wanting to fall asleep in less than two or designed for time travelers, the title edited by Reef Entertainment seems not only zapped movies after T2 but the evolution of FPS and video game for fifteen years. Nevertheless, by drawing all the same here and there in the ideas to success of the kind, it is a beautiful base of student project which is offered to those eager to hurt themselves.
