The player character, Jack Cooper, is a lowly Rifleman with the rebellious Militia. Titanfall 2 is set on a stormy planet called Typhon. But it was released alongside Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare so it under-performed and has only recently gotten a second wind thanks to its battle royale spin-off Apex Legends. Titanfall 2 came out in 2016 and blew critics, as well as the few gamers that played it, away. There was barely a story and no plot to drive it but there was the bones of one and the game had its fans. The first Titanfall was a multiplayer-only game released in 2014. Which is why a relatively small, short and very much ignored game like Titanfall 2 stands head and shoulders above most other shooters. But games have mostly ignored the rich vein that the mecha genre provides in favour of a more simplified approach to sci-fi shooters. They should allow for great games with rich stories that dive deep into complex themes of politics, nationhood, technology and identity. Giant robots and interstellar wars should be a winning combination. This month Gaming Editor Andrew Carroll looks at Titanfall 2. Lost Masters is a series of articles that endeavours to take a fresh look at brilliant games that flew under the radar at the time of their release.
