    It brings nothing new in terms of gameplay, but Terminator: Resistance Enhanced has other tricks up its sleeve. Namely a decent story and some of the best use of license to a movie franchise in a long time. If you haven’t played the previous gen version, there’s no better jumping point than here.

    Although obviously not a high-budget title, Resistance is probably the best Terminator game I’ve ever played. Gunplay is fun, there’s a lot of gear to use and upgrade, you can unlock new skills, and stealth elements make the whole experience pretty varied. The graphics are rather basic though (the PS5 upgrade with 4K resolution makes little difference) and I ran across some sound issues, but in general, I had fun. [08/2021, p.45]

    No less janky or unambitious than its 2019 incarnation, Terminator: Resistance Enhanced offers up a mildly polished up experience that is augmented by some initially promising, but ultimately disappointing DLC. That said, for those that passed over the PS4 version of the game, Terminator: Resistance Enhanced nonetheless offers up a compelling slice of well-executed looter shooter goodness that fans of the motion picture saga will find enjoyable and fulfilling in equal measure.

    I had a lot of fun. This is a very good shooter / stealth game and the best Terminator game ever.

    This game does an excellent job capturing the first and second movie's atmosphere. Not only that, it explains and expands the lore ofThis game does an excellent job capturing the first and second movie's atmosphere. Not only that, it explains and expands the lore of Terminator. The dim postapocalyptic world combined with great licenced music from the first two Terminator movies gives you the impression that you are actually a resistance soldier fighting Skynet with John Connor and Reese. When we were kids my friends and I were telling stories and pretending fighting Terminators and stuff. If only we could play this game back then, that would be too much excitement for as to handle. I can't be thankful enough to the Reef studios for making the wold of Terminator alive and giving me the opportunity to relive some of my best childhood memories.… Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Terrible game, terrible movement, gunplay, enemy ai. The whole thing is such a gimmick. I read couple reviews saying it was okay and for lack of games I fell for it. Dont make the same mistake. There are guns that fire with literal zero controller vibration, and zero recoil, have never felt less connected with shooting, had to look at the ammo going down to ensure I was actually shooting…

    Some of the worst voice acting in games, people are literally reading lines. I have watched better first year acting student’s cringy short movies than this. For the price tag this is so unfinished, with a story line straight out of a middle schools homework. “Story” in a nutshell; Good guy lost his friends, everyone is acting tough, you find letters for “lore” that literally say “f* this world, terminators killed us” wow what a story line guys how did you come out with this twisty interesting drama of a story. Every level has pretty useless layout that tries to give a sense of open world but there is literally nothing other than garbage you collect around. Enemies don’t respond to shooting differently, like 5 of the same enemy type will die with the same animations. Simply put this is a gimmick for the movies, not a real game. I would suggest staying away from it at all cost.    … Full Review »
