It brings nothing new in terms of gameplay, but Terminator: Resistance Enhanced has other tricks up its sleeve. Namely a decent story and some of the best use of license to a movie franchise in a long time. If you haven’t played the previous gen version, there’s no better jumping point than here.
No less janky or unambitious than its 2019 incarnation, Terminator: Resistance Enhanced offers up a mildly polished up experience that is augmented by some initially promising, but ultimately disappointing DLC. That said, for those that passed over the PS4 version of the game, Terminator: Resistance Enhanced nonetheless offers up a compelling slice of well-executed looter shooter goodness that fans of the motion picture saga will find enjoyable and fulfilling in equal measure.
Terminator: Resistance Enhanced it's a guilty pleasure, a game that it's not astonishing but it manages to hook the player up, even more if you love the first movies. It's not a technical marvel, and it's gameplay is not original, but when you start it... you'll probably get an entertaining ride.
While Enhanced can't hide Terminator: Resistance's budget origins, this is a solid licensed game that honors the franchise that spawned it. If you can overlook its budget-related flaws, this is a fairly enjoyable take on the Terminator license.
Apart from adaptive triggers or some improved visual effects, it is difficult to go into ecstasies in the face of a game that still offers gameplay and a technique that is ten years behind, and it is not very short infiltrated mode that will be a game-changer. However, Terminator Resistance is keeping everything that made it a decent game in 2019. With a price drop, fans and fans of the genre should enjoy it while they wait for more games to come their way.
Slighty improved over the PS4 edition, and
featuring the fun Infiltrator DLC, Terminator:
Resistance Enhanced never makes use of
PS5’s power. A missed opportunity. [Issue#2, p.88]
Terminator: Resistance Enhanced is a decent looking PS3 game that’s 10 years too late. It adds little value to the disappointing original release, and will only please hardcore fans of the movies.
