Summary
Titanfall 2, one of the most critically acclaimed shooters of 2016, is once again gaining popularity among FPS enthusiasts, thanks to a recent Steam sale. Despite being a solid game,Titanfall 2initially flew under the radar for many reasons, such as its Origin platform exclusivity on PC andcompetition from rival FPS titles such asBattlefield 1andCall of Duty: Infinite Warfare.
Titanfall 2can be considered one of the more unique first-person shooters on the market. In the game, players control intimidating but nimble mecha-style exoskeletons and theirpilots who have a wide range of abilities such as wall-runningand cloaking. Unlike its prequel,Titanfall 2also had a dramatic single-player campaign mode, which was lauded by many gamers for its gameplay and level design. Unfortunately, the game’s popularity would end up fluctuating over time, with some loyal fans holding it in high esteem but many other players occasionally passing it up due to various reasons.
