10 More Great Video Games Nobody Bought

10. Titanfall 2

What made Titanfall 2 so good is that it was a clear demonstration of listening to your audience.

Whilst the core tenants of the IP remain the same, the rest of the game feels as though it's been put through rigorous testing in a way that made Titanfall 2 make its predecessor look like a tech demo. The mech-piloting FPS sequel was bigger, deeper and more rewarding in its progression system and just offered a more balanced and engaging experience.

More than just retooling the multiplayer of course though, Respawn Entertainment gave players another reason to stick with Titanfall 2 by including a single player campaign, something that the original sorely lacked. The short story was stuffed with fantastic set-pieces that in a way excused a shorter running time. Quality over quantity was clearly a general top-down idea for the sequel.

However, Titanfall 2 got totally stiffed by its publisher Electronic Arts. Not only did it release just a week after EA’s own Battlefield 1, it did so with the looming shadow of the next Call of Duty hanging over it. Its potential sales were cannibalised and the new kid on the block couldn’t contend with established names in the genre.

In the years since, Titanfall 2’s great experience has been complimented by numerous players who got it on sale or even for free.
