Alot of the time I'll be playing will be in-between calls at work so being able to pause any time is important. The only one I've played is god of war but I never finished it .

Titanfall 2 is an amazing game. It's single player is one of the best - it never gets stale as there's always a new mechanic, both as a 'pilot' (soldier) or in a titan, to master or a twist you didn't see coming. The story itself is top notch, and it's length is good.

If I remember right, you can pause at anytime, even in cutscenes. They're not long though.

Plus, the multiplayer has been fixed just recently so you can vs others in some of the best feeling combat any game has to offer.

I've never played the others though, so feel free to go with them.

I’ll second this. The gameplay is super tight and intuitive, and easy to play in bite-sized chunks. The story is more thoughtful and interesting than it has any right to be. I was really shocked how much I enjoyed this game, it completely took me by surprise. Only downside imo is that the actual storyline is short, like just a few hours. Pretty good replay value though.

People tend to understate how short the campaign is. Phrases like "it never gets old" are used, but it's true because, as you mentioned, the campaign is one of the shortest you'll find in anything close to a AAA game.

Edit: Not to say it's not a great game, because I think it is. But it's a great game that you'll finish in potentially a single sitting.

TF2 multi-player is still active?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Yes! Respawn actually released a patch the other week and there's 1000s playing again.
