3. Innovative Combat Mechanics (Mechs!)

Although thousands of Kaiju-loving mech-fanatics will champion their existence as a major positive, Titanfall 2 gets one up on its original by making them an integral and fun part of gameplay. Where before the mechs felt like glorified power-ups that were no fun to pilot thanks to restricting your movement across the board, now they're split across multiple 'types' such as a sword-wielder, a laser chest cannon specialist or one that unleash a flurry of missiles.

Factor these into the lightning-quick gameplay of Titanfall - and ensure characters can easily mount them to attempt game-winning takedowns - and you add another layer to proceedings that changes how you fight.

You can even deploy in your mech, too, encouraging you to turn the tables on any enemy forces, rather than continue to be dominated by them. Learning which Titan suits your playstyle is part of the fun, and thanks to being able to unlock the full set after only a few hours of gameplay, you'll be hopping back and forth across them with ease.
