Examining Titanfall 2's Time Travel Masterpiece

Introducing time travel to Titanfall 2, a game already centred on giant robots fighting each other, might seem like a bit much - it's giant robots fighting each other, is it really necessary to add time travel as well?

But Respawn Entertainment went ahead and did it anyway in Titanfall 2, creating the time traveling mission Effect and Cause – one of the most entertaining levels not just in Titanfall 2's campaign, but also in the FPS genre as a whole.

And in this video, I take a closer look at what makes Titanfall 2's Effect and Cause such an incredible experience, from its environmental storytelling and dual time zone level design to the structure of its combat encounters and the way it subtly teaches players about its amazing time travel mechanic.
