10 Criminally Underrated Video Games That Deserve A Second Chance
3. Titanfall 2
Why it got overlooked:
The Titanfall series was always joining a fiercely competitive market. The Battlefield and Call of Duty series are long established series favourites and the first-person shooter equivalent of FIFA vs Pro Evo.
While Call of Duty's movement into futuristic shoot-em ups is fairly recent, it's a brand that is difficult to compete with – especially as Titanfall 2 was released slap bang in the middle of Battlefield 1 and Infinite War.
Why it deserves a second chance:
At the risk of upsetting the Battlefield and CoD fan boys; Titanfall 2 is better! Battlefield 1 has it's moments, but the campaign gets tiring – online is where Battlefield has always excelled and where it belongs.
The CoD plots have been getting progressively more insane since Modern Warfare 2. Titanfall 2 takes all the innovation from the first game, with the battling Mechs and the enhanced, parkour'ing pilots, and adds a far more exciting plot with multiple ways of completing objectives.
CoD has already borrowed several innovations from Titanfall, such as the wall-running and one DLC map with Mechs, proving that Titanfall 2 is expanding the capabilities and gameplay of the genre.
