Listening to their stories of surviving the war with the machines endears them to you, even the crabby Dr.

Yeah, there are moments when it doesn’t hit right, but there is a lot of emotional depth that can be found as you converse with these people who become like family to you. One of the areas that really shows the potential this game can have is in the dialogue. Honestly, these stories can supersede the main narrative, with great personal storylines that connect you with this ragtag group. It’s not on the level of Telltale, but it’s a good inclusion.

I won’t spoil anything for you, but in gaining the trust of each of these people you’ll have an opportunity to change certain outcomes later. For example, I did something for the first person I met, a girl named Jennifer, by finding a dog for her young brother Patrick. These are also more impactful than you might expect, as doing something for someone can result in gaining trust with that person. This does close off the opportunity to do it later, as the narrative moves forward, but just the fact that these are here is a twist I didn’t expect. Something intriguing, I had the option to pass on it and just leave. This blew my mind as I was expecting a largely linear experience, the game opened up a side mission for me. As we prepared to leave, the leader, Ryan, asked me to see if I could find any survivors.

Rivers comes across a group of scavengers and attempts to escape with them. What ensues is a story I found largely interesting. Uncovering what Skynet has planned is going to be your main objective as you make your way through the US wastelands. For some reason you’re being hunted, and by a robot killer that looks like a human, easily disguised amongst your team. You play as Private Jacob Rivers, a soldier from the Pacific Division of the Resistance, or at least the former Pacific Division, given a Terminator ripped this unit to pieces as you raced out. Terminator: Resistance takes place right before Skynet sends the Terminators back in time to kill key people that could stop them.
