The Call of Duty franchise has been running for years now, with several fans eagerly anticipating future instalments. The latest game in the series takes place in a space setting, and thus targets what may be called future warfare. Something definitely worth noting is the more traditional feeling which distinguishes this game’s single-player campaign, which may be seen as a smart reaction to the recent unsuccessful solo modes in past instalments. The campaign is indeed very enjoyable thanks to a strong and well-written storyline, with believable and authentic characters throughout. As a result of the particular space theme, the developers were afforded room for originality, and this is pretty evident in the considerable environmental variety which the game offers. Some critics have however felt that Infinite Warfare does not fare too well in the multiplayer aspect, when compared to other competitors on the market. While certainly challenging and pleasant at times, online mode still feels plagued by what is considered by many to be pay-to-win content, in the form of gun mods or other perks.

In Titanfall 2, the player is put in the shoes of Jack Cooper, a tough guy who wants to become a pilot. Indeed, pilots in Titanfall 2 are powerful and skilled soldiers who possess several special abilities, including the ability to run across walls while shooting at the same time, or double jump to gain access to restricted areas. Beside the pilots there are the Titans – gigantic tanks controlled by artificial intelligence that are remotely controlled by the pilots through a neural connection. Movement in the game is fast but at the same time surprisingly simple, in that the controls never seem confusing even though there is a vast array of moves and abilities available. This positive aspect carries on in multiplayer mode, which continues to build on the previous game’s mode – a good decision seeing how successful that was. Furthermore, Titanfall 2 now offers an increased variety of pilot and titan abilities which make the game even more interesting and enjoyable to play, given the increased tactical options available. An increased sense of personalization is also possible thanks to the newly introduced mechanics, thus resulting in even better longevity for the game’s enthusiasts.
