Twisted Voxel: 7 / 10 by Ali Haider

Terminator 2D: NO FATE nails the 16-bit aesthetic and musical nostalgia of Judgment Day with authentic grit. However, its fleeting runtime, silent cutscenes, and steep price point make this a brief nostalgia trip best reserved for die-hard fans rather than general action enthusiasts.

Full Review

Cloud Dosage: 3.9 / 5

Terminator 2D: No Fate is a tight 2D action game that keeps you moving and shooting without wasting your time. Combat stays easy to follow even when enemies start piling up, and quick retries make learning tough sections less frustrating. Not every idea hits the same way, and the game does not last long. Still, it sticks to its old-school formula and plays best when you treat it as something to jump into, improve at, and replay.

The List: 3 / 5 by Murray Robertson

While the whole thing is a blast to play, it’s an extremely short game, with a high-score table, branching narrative and harder difficulty settings offering at least some replay value.
