Titanfall 2 review

Titanfall 2 is on this list for MechWarrior fans who want a faster, tighter mech game between campaigns. Respawn's shooter tells the story of a Militia rifleman stranded behind enemy lines who teams up with a veteran Vanguard-class Titan, and multiplayer adds six new Titans, new Pilot abilities and deeper customization. It costs $29.99 on Steam, and 95% of 97,742 English reviews are positive, the highest share of any game in this ranking. The hardware bar is moderate at 8 GB of RAM and 45 GB of storage. It ranks below the BattleTech games because it is a different kind of mech game: you spend much of each match on foot, there is no MechLab and no mercenary career, and the 'Mechs are Titans that you call down for part of a fight. As a story campaign with mechs at its center, it is one of the best documented options here.
