Titanfall 2

The campaign is six to eight hours of some of the most inventive FPS mission design ever made, and I mean that without hedging. There is a level in Titanfall 2 that I will not spoil here, but if you have played it you know exactly which one I mean, and if you have not it is reason enough to download the game tonight. Missions are short and varied enough that it suits handheld play naturally, you are never stuck mid-way through something sprawling when your battery warning goes off. The multiplayer still has an active community, but go in primarily for the campaign. Anything online is a bonus.

Titanfall 2's campaign is a movement-shooter masterclass, and the single-player experience runs acceptably at 720p on iGPUs—precise gunfeel, wall-running, mech segments, and level design that regularly surprises. It nearly made the top ten on campaign mechanics alone. The issue is multiplayer: official servers are gone and you now need the community Northstar client, which means downloading a separate launcher and manually browsing servers. That mod dependency, combined with a ~45GB install, pushed it out of the top ten. If you can spare the storage and don't mind the Northstar setup, it's still one of the best-feeling shooters available on modest hardware.
