• Four campaign difficulties-Story/Recruit/Maverick/Outlaw.
• Hub to walk around, interact with NPC, take quests, find challenges.
• Game-you play as a commander in charge of a Gravcycle, you can shoot/fly/heal, etc and can command your troops like targetting enemies, interact with points, use their abilities.
• End of level breakdown.
• Earn EXP and level up each crew member and yourself which unlocks new upgrade slots which in turn will open up better abilities.
• Scan-shows up mission objectives, markers, points of interest, heal/revive team members.
• Big open levels.

• Once you get over the initial hump the controls work really well and it’s easy to manage your crew along with yourself.
• Generous checkpointing.

• Multiplayer-player appearance, badges and badge creator, banners, and emotes.
• Multiplayer crews-9 of em, The business, King’s guard, lost ronin, the militia, Muertos, neon dreams, the sideshows, tech noir, and warhedz. Each can have gravcycle attachments, pilot skins, and crew appearance options.
• Mp has 3 modes- one control/collector/retrieval.
• Mp has a list of challenges for bonus rewards and is for individual crews and events.
• A friend invites system.
• Feels like the original Titanfall with the way it plays alongside Ai.

Cons:

• Small text.
• It does a bad job of explaining the many aspects of the game.
• Lock-on for your crew is inconsistent and you will just move the squad rather than lock-on more than they lock on.
• Spend most of the game in scan mode so you don’t miss additional loot but also so your crew can interact with things as sometimes it only works with scan.
• The mission structure is very plain and repetitive.
• Slow matchmaking times.
• In-app purchases for premium credits.
• No clan system in place.
• Only a couple of mp modes.
• In the hub in the single-player, you can’t run which is a pain when you have to talk to people for challenges.
• Minor pop up in places.
• The levels whilst huge and nice to look at, but it is very empty.
• Gameplay just repeats over and over.
