An actually fantastic story, that had some twists that really surprised me. I haven’t been a Mortal Kombat fan for very long, but that ending really got me hyped. Obviously, since the story mode isn’t the main focus of this game, it was very short, but man, does it fill in that time well.
Not quite perfect, but still amazing. It’s most likely the best adaptation of the black suit Spider-Man storyline outside of the comics, even though I love Spider-Man 3. And really the story is just fantastic in this game in general, you really feel for the characters. Combat seems to be a lot more difficult in this one, but fair. They somehow made the already incredible swinging even better, and it really feels like the whole game is a step up from the first one. The ending really sets up an incredible story for a third entry. Overall, the game was worth the wait.
"Tell me, Dr. Freeman, if you can. You have destroyed so much. What is it, exactly, that you have created? Can you name even one thing? I thought not."
Short, but so sweet. I just wish I had played it sooner. Just like the initial game, this expansion keeps the atmosphere immersive, combat fantastic, and just being an amazing game. I did feel that this expansion had its slow parts however. I felt the game took a second to get going at the beginning, and I felt there was a little too many scenes of just standing around talking, for the mechanics of this game. But those are just minor complaints, as I had a ton of fun with this episode. Can't wait to start the second one.

Loved it, but I am immediately returning it.
"Prepare for unforeseen consequences."
You truly do not understand how painful the ending of this game is if you don't play through the games. Its so abrupt and its such a cliffhanger, that to anyone who plays these games, it is clear why Half Life 3 is so needed. Yet, everyday without news on its development, is one more chip at hope for its release. Valve really can't leave us hanging like this... right?

Another day, another game that desperately needs a sequel but it is highly likely it will not get that sequel. I think the biggest thing that is needed for a Titanfall 3 is make the campaign longer next time. I would definitely play though a 15-20 hour campaign if it was the same level of quality as this game. Every level in this game felt like it was one-upping the last. Just when you thought they couldn't introduce yet another mechanic into the game, they do, and its always fantastic. Love this game, and hopefully, I will be able to love its sequel.

An absolutely jaw dropping video game experience that reminds me of why I love the medium so much.
The ambience of the game instantly hooks you into this world that the creators of the game created for you. It makes you want to explore every single square pixel of the place. The final section before the main ending stressed me out so much, I felt sick... in a good way. This game is so damn rewarding, because every time you discover something within it, it feels like YOU, and you alone, discovered it. The amount of dopamine that went through me when I would find a new use to a tool I had been using for hours, is quite possibly unmatched.
Absolutely a gaming experience that I shall never forget, and I cannot wait to see what BIGMODE publishes next, if this is their standard for quality.

"The numbers mason, what do they mean!"
Not as good of a campaign as Modern Warfare (2007) or Modern Warfare 2 (2009), but still great. The story is a little less focused that those Modern Warfare storylines, but damn, is it all still so awesome. If I had to choose my favorite mission, it would probably be 'Payback'. I love how that mission just got crazier and crazier as you continued. Overall, I am very happy to finally clear this out of my backlog.

"How ’bout a nice cup of LIBER-TEA?"
I decided I have a new rule for reviewing games that are non-linear and without a defined end like this. For games such as this, I will review them when I have played 10 hours of them. I feel that this is a good gage of the game as a whole, as 10 hours is a pretty average playtime for a game with a defined end.
Now for the actual review; this game is awesome. It's so crazy how good the world building is here, given how there is not much of a story. The satires on display here are fantastic and greatly reminiscent of films like Starship Troopers, which I highly appreciate. Gameplay wise, this game is also amazing. It's all so atmospheric and immersive. Each planet truly feels like its own planet, due to the diversity of them all. Although the player base has fallen quite a bit down since its release, I believe this is a game I will continuously come back to, as it is such a good pick up and play game.
