It’s rare that a sequel evolves on every part of the original concept so consistently for the better, but Titanfall 2 is that exception. Its feelgood movement is the foundation for both the engaging action and platforming gameplay of its strong campaign and its over-the-top competitive multiplayer. With bolstered progression, customization, variety, and a fleshed-out story, Respawn has made good on its original vision with Titanfall 2. And bottom line, it’s just damn fun to play.

In fact, the big surprise is how rich and diverse the campaign actually is. You’d think Respawn had enough to get on with using just the building blocks of Titanfall: the super-mobile pilots, the hulking Titans, the war between corporate armies vs revolutionaries. Yet Titanfall 2 pulls in influences from Halo, Half Life 2 and Portal while hurling jungle planets, space dinosaurs, planet-destroying weaponry and time-travel into the mix. The end-result is an exceptional sci-fi shooter, out-classing
