Attempts to bring the fiction of the films it is based on to life
I ditched Terminator: Resistance soon after starting it back in 2019, writing it off as yet another dismal movie tie-in from Polish developer Teyon, creator of 2014’s lambasted Rambo: The Video Game. But after enjoying RoboCop: Rogue City late last year, I wondered whether I’d been too quick to dismiss Teyon’s earlier work. While no masterpiece, Rogue City is a faithful and thoughtful adaptation of Verhoeven’s film, one that does a good job of embodying you in Alex Murphy’s metal exoskeleton. And although Resistance was fairly well panned by critics at the time, it has garnered a ‘Very Positive’ rating on Steam in the years since release.
Hence, seemed ripe for reappraisal. And having now returned to its depiction of ’s blighted future, it is, it earnestly attempts to bring the fiction of the films it is based on to life. But it is far less successful, mostly demonstrating how far Teyon has come in the last four years.
