why do you care? If you liked it buy it lol.

The game is fantastic! It says its made for fans because if you truly like the franchise, you will love it. But is a good game for some one outside of the fan base! Go or it!

I got it, thank you !

Alien Isolation was also created for fans

And most of them quit the game before completing the 6th level (out of 20).

28.3%

I'm not a fan and only watched the movies a long time ago but I ended up loving this game because it's well made

But I watched the YouTube gameplay video and it's so far so good

I am a veteran gamer and you are kind of right, if you come from games like bioshock, metro, or wolfeinstein the fallen order it will seem kind of lackluster in certain areas while shining in others, its not a good game not an average or amazing game but a good one, and an amazing game if you love the first 2 movies I hope that makes sense. My biggest issue with the game is the lack of creativity in skills, no fun perks and the upgrading system for weapons is a bit limited and very disappointing.

To be fair alien isolation had a bigger budget from what I recall and has allot more quality voice acting and more fearful immersion, not to mention quite unique in gaming as a whole compared to even terminator here.

Yep, I believe Alien was funded by Sega so a much bigger budget. Terminator Resistance doesn't even have Arnold's likeness or voice, because that would cost too much. They did a great job considering their resources.

It means that the game isn't perfect. It's small budget shows, and it has some notable flaws. But if you're a big Terminator franchise fan, you won't really care. I agree with this, and consider this one of the best film license games I've ever played. The final battle alone, coupled with the iconic musical themes, is enough to give any fan chills.

It means that fans of the movies are likely to appreciate it beyond just its merits as a stand-alone FPS. And having played the final scene, I have to say, it's greatly satisfying to that end.

It's made for fans of the OG movie. The original movie was notably different than the rest of the series and showed a dark destroyed world through glimpses. This game tries to showcase that same world. There are a lot of references to the first 2 movies

Gameplay-wise, it's pretty basic. Nothing advanced. There's stealth and basic shoot-em up segments, but honestly, outside of the specific stealth segments of the story or trying to get into outposts, stealth is rarely a factor unless you want it to be. I tried stealthing, but it just made things take too long. I started killing everything and it netted me more XP and materials without having to slow my progress down to a crawl. Also, as a side note, the game teaches you about melee attacks early on in tutorial and that you can smash down wooden boards that are in some doorways....but honestly melee is completely useless. The most you can hope to do is take down the small crab bots, but you only melee if they have no health left or you have no ammo. There also was I think legit only like 2 instances where I found boards in doorways that I needed melee to break and that included the tutorial. So melee is a joke

I find the story to be pretty bland though. It's pretty predictable at times and the characters aren't exactly likable or "human". The game tried to have a "trust" system where you needed to do favors for characters to get them to trust you, but it honestly really never comes into play outside of an end-game decision that doesn't reflect on gameplay and only alters the ending. So it's kind of a wasted mechanic, like melee

Don't go in expecting an open world adventure like Fallout. The maps are actually very small and are just made to LOOK big. In reality, the maps are pretty linear in that you gotta push through to quest locations and then go back. Repeat until you move to next map

Also, do not go in expecting to be having to deal with the disguised Terminators like Arnie. While they show up in-game, it's only during heavily scripted story moments. I was hoping/thinking that I'd be having to sneak around the map while one hunted me down, but that never happens. They're basically a non-factor in the basic gameflow. They only show up in story segments

I just started the DLC myself so I haven't played through everything yet, but I beat the main game. It's good if you are a fan. Just don't go in expecting a huge immersive experience with top of the line gaming mechanics. It's a pretty bare bones shooter with very very lite RPG skill points. Story is meh. Gameplay is meh. Immersion is honestly not great since you're able to solo dozens Terminators when realistically you should need multiple people with you. Only saving grace for immersion is the destroyed world aesthetic. Most of it really feels like those glimpses we got in the first movie

Get it on sale if you really want it

it's made for fans is a good thing. It means it's well done and true to the source materiel, but is a completely original story.

It's a good game it just doesn't really do anything innovative. The story and guns is where this game shines.
