“A very solid AA game that gets plenty of bonus points for being faithful to the Terminator license. Between this and RoboCop: Rogue City, the developper, Teyon, has broken the trend of licensed movie games being dumpter…”
“Terminator Resistance is true Terminator 3. Great original story which perfectly fits with T1 and T2. Devs absolutely nailed the atmosphere and mood of "future war" which was glimpsed briefly in films. I've played on…”
“If you're a fan of the original movies, you'll enjoy this game. I liked the story, as well as the detail in the weapons and the world. The graphics aren't quite up to date anymore, but the gameplay is solid. For a small…”

“This is the perfect game when I want to have fun without putting in too much thought or learning. It has just enough action, leveling, grinding, and skill selections to hold my attention. You don't need to spend $70 on…”
“I really loved Robocop made by Teyon and decided to give Terminator:Resistance a go because of that. And I'm loving it. I see now how Robocop got inspired by similar mechanics and I really like how game is a shooter…”

“Things felt a bit 'cheap' to begin with but the more I pushed on, the more I enjoyed it. The T-800s really do push you. Great sound design and OST, and the final mission was epic!”

“A really great game, 10/10. The developers clearly understood and respected the source material, great fan service moments that are not done for the sake of it. Good variety of weapons/equipment, cool upgrade system and…”

“I respect Terminator: Resistance for being so budget-conscious, An AA license title that has more heart and "Vibe" than most of the triple-A titles we get. The game still isn't anything close to great. I guess they…”
“tl;dr not the greatest game ever, but lasers go PEW PEW PEW I'll start by saying that as a shooter this game is almost painfully generic. It takes zero risk in creating new combat mechanics, crafting, devices, mini…”
“Bad boring uninspired game. Dull graphics with ton of detail pop-in, shooting feels like trash, like my character is fighting a firehose, not a gun. Sound is dull and splashy, music is three-note annoying garbage.…”

“Really awesome stealth shooter. Fallout 4 but good; Human Revolution with soul. The beginning is a little slow, but once you get your tools it's a blast. Enemy health and damage is PERFECT. Just when you think you're…”
“Too slow, too much grind to increase skills, too little action. You 're lost on the map and don't know what to do... Doesn't run on Steam Deck.”
“Gets off to a slow start but if you're a huge fan of the first two Terminator films this is the game you have been waiting for many years through many disappointments. I absolutely loved this game and it delivers a lot…”

“I would only recommend this game when its on discount, the base game is okay but its no where near as fun as the DLC”
“Kicks ass. Totally worth it when it goes on deep discount. It's admittedly a low bar, but this is by far the best Terminator game, and a great singleplayer game to play through in one sitting.”
“I recommend this only because it scratches an itch for both Terminator lore and at least the first half of the game. Basically the first half with genuine exploration and multiple approaches was interesting, the…”

“If you can grab this on a deep discount and you are a fan of the Terminator franchise and shooters, then this is the game for you. None of the game's mechanics, like levelling, crafting etc. are very deep, it's not an RPG by any means, but there are some shallow conversation…”

So this is a killer App, especially when you're into the 80's and like more conservative Action-Shooter. It's a really memorable game. I liked the art…”
