RELEASE 2016 DEVELOPER Respawn Entertainment PUBLISHER Electronic Arts LINK bit.ly/3fT0Fka
There are rare few games done dirtier than Titanfall 2. Sequel to a risky new IP, doomed by a release sandwiched between Call of Duty and Battlefield, usurped by its own battle royale spin-off, and nigh-unplayable for the last year thanks to an absurd conspiracy of hackers and DDoS attacks, Titanfall 2 was perhaps always destined to be a cult classic.
Of course, you don’t get to the cult classic status without being good as hell. And on revisiting Respawn’s 2016 mech-n-parkour’em-up over the winter break, I was reminded just how joyous it is to slide, grapple and wall-run across Titanfall 2’s battlefields.
See, when Respawn debuted with the first Titanfall’s wall-running is nicking your far-future acrobatics, you can confidently say you’ve made your mark.
