    Terminator 2D: No Fate nails the feeling of a game that should have existed in the early ‘90s to coincide with the release of the film. It’s the kind of game that, had it released at that time, would have likely been revered as a great adaptation to this day. In 2025, it is still a strong retro adaptation of a beloved film, but it is not without some design annoyances that we’ve moved beyond.

    Terminator 2D: NO FATE is a beautiful pixel-art homage that moves away from the traditional movie-licensed game formula and brings a more indie-inspired style to the classic portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Fast, nostalgic, and frenetic, the game falls short of delivering a deeper and longer-lasting experience to the classic, even while offering alternative endings.

    In 1991, a great opportunity was missed: the opportunity to make an action game for home consoles that captured the immense potential offered by the Terminator 2 license. But at long last, Bitmap Bureau has rectified this wrong with a game that almost feels like a classic of that bygone era. If only we could send it back in time so we all could have enjoyed it back in 1991.
