The verdict
A budget-made, janky but loving tribute to the first two Terminator films, with great atmosphere and sound. Skip it if you aren't a fan and want polished, deep shooter gameplay.
Great for
Fans of Terminator 1 and 2 who forgive AA jank and want a faithful future-war story
Main risk
Generic, dated shooting with dumb AI and tedious looting becomes boring without Terminator nostalgia

Dumb enemy AI makes fights too easy
Mentioned in ~1 in 7 negative reviews
“Enemy AI is absolutely atrocious and won't give any chase at all, if you cut line of sight for more than 3 seconds they forget you were there entirely and go about their lives.”

Checkpoint-only saves frustrate
Mentioned in ~1 in 21 negative reviews
“Inability to save game when needed and relying on (many times) badly placed checkpoints or couple of fixed save points is extremely stupid dev decision.”
