I finally get it. I finally get why the ridiculous of Titanfall 2 fans won't shut up about this game. And keep in mind I only played the campaign, I haven't even touched the multiplayer.
Titanfall 2's campaign is one of the most creative and fun FPS campaigns I think I've ever played. The movement is fantastic (and I'm just talking base movement, I'm not even mentioning the ridiculous amount of speedrun tech out there) and the game hides secrets behind a plethora of platforming challenges involving wall running. Come to think of it there's a LOT of platforming in this FPS game which I'm all for. I dunno if it's sad or impressive that this game has much better platforming than a variety of actual platformers that I've played, particularly the earlier era of 3D platformers. You can take a guess which ones I'm mentioning. Sadly couldn't care less about the story as it was all sorts of bleh but that kinda gives them an excuse to go nuts with the level objectives and gimmicks. This game has some of the most creative and wickedly cool stage gimmicks I've seen in ANY game, let alone an FPS campaign; that time travel level legit had me geeking out throughout the entire stage. The environments you travel through are unique and often lead to some fun and varied design as well, whether it be a factory assembling houses with a conveyer taking you from arena to arena, or a construction site with cranes moving parts of the arenas you fight in. The giant Titans were fun but not really anything special: you get a bunch of them with different abilities and weapons and while it felt gratifying, I'd rather just stick with the mobile wall running soldier personally.
The only negative I can possibly give this game is that it requires an EA account to play on Steam and it legit harasses you every time you log into your PC. It's not quite pure malware, but considering it's EA it might as well be.
