How to expand on something as ambitious as PA? With more variety of tactical options of course! Uber decided that after the annihilaser they were done giving away free content, and completely re-released the game at full price. Don't worry though if you already spent $80 on the "old" one you get 66% off titans if you act now! Questionable business tactics aside Titans feels very much like the base game, exceedingly ambitious but it falls a bit short. While many of the new features such as nuclear suicide tanks and mini unit cannons are genuinely cool and the orbital battleships and teleporters are a sorely needed injection of options others such as the hulking towering Atlas titan on the main menu or the Artemis orbital railgun feel a bit half-hearted, one is literally the largest unit in the game but has no weapons and thus is forced to stomp on things and the other is basically an orbital railgun that can only target other orbital units, perhaps it is useful for sieging defensive anchor stations but a battleship seems to be versatile enough to make it the better choice there. With regards to PA's signature planet cracking there are a few changes, smashing one planet into another now destroys both instead of just making a big crater, and if you have a foothold on a planet but can't push out of it then the new ragnarok titan allows you to bore out it's core and watch the planet collapse. Outside of a few very needed and very handy but still somewhat niche additions though this is still PA, if you missed the original Titans may be worth a look, but if you already paid Uber for PA there really seems to be no excuse for them not giving this to you for a lot less than they are, if not for free.
Sorry, I'm of to play some SupCom. I also need to find a way to get a lot of my games onto Steam.
