Professional reviews from gaming critics
Annihilation Line is more Terminator: Resistance. With several hours of playtime alongside new story and characters, it's easy to recommend for people who enjoyed the main game.
Terminator Resistance’s expansion plays things a bit safer than it should have but still manages to sharpen the base game’s strength somewhat.
So, if you’ve played Terminator: Resistance and found yourself wanting more, Annihilation Line is definitely worth considering. It doesn’t really try to offer anything new gameplay-wise, but it does allow you fight beside Kyle Reese and go behind the titular Annihilation Line.

This means that the player is never able to meander too much, jumping from one action section to another with pockets of more open stealth gameplay spliced between.

Thankfully, Annihilation Line does feel better in its action than the core game, with Skynet's creations feeling more direct and dangerous this time around.
