Let’s not mince words: Titanfall 2 (opens in new tab) has one of the best singleplayer shooter campaigns of all time. And now you can pick it up for just $3—that’s right, a lowly three bucks—on Steam (opens in new tab).
There’s really not much to say about Titanfall 2 that hasn’t been said before. A boy and his robot chew bubblegum and kick ass is a vaguely dystopian far future—but whoops, they’re all out of bubblegum. It isn’t the most unique videogame setup of all time, and frankly my expectations were a little low going in. But even if they’d been sky-high, Titanfall 2 would’ve easily surpassed them.
How good is it? This good:
- “A brilliant singleplayer campaign married to inventive, skill-intensive multiplayer that calls back to FPS classics of old.” PC Gamer, 91% review (opens in new tab)
- Titanfall 2’s “Effect and Cause (opens in new tab)” level is one of the best uses of time travel in videogames and a legit Great Moment in PC Gaming
- One of the best knives (opens in new tab) in PC gaming history
- Multiplayer: saved! (opens in new tab)
- Player count (opens in new tab) remains solid. (Remember, this is a seven-year-old game.)
So, having established that it is in fact that good, there’s really no excuse not to pick it up right here and now if you have even the slightest interest in shooters. It’s three bucks. That’s literally cheaper than a Big Mac. And for those who keep track of such things, IsThereAnyDeal (opens in new tab) also indicates that it’s the cheapest Titanfall 2 has ever been on Steam. Seriously, just get it. It’s on sale until February 2.
