Terminator: Resistance
Out of everything else in this list, Terminator: Resistance is shocking in the fact that nothing about its pedigree gives the indication that it might be playable let alone often good. Look at developer Teyon’s resume prior to this, and it is a long, depressing list of straight up shovelware for the Wii and 3DS. Hell, their last licensed game is the dreadful PS3 Rambo rail shooter I mentioned at the start. Somehow, those guys managed to pull off Fallout-but-with-Terminators, and did it in a way that doesn’t outstay its welcome the way too many of the Fallout games do. We used to get stuff like this all the time in the PS2 era. Now, a AA game taking a road-less-traveled with a big property is one of those swings nobody makes. But when they do, it often winds up being a delightfully wonky treat.
