The mobility mechanics of Titanfall 2 are an excellent example of implementing versatile action that is both fun and strategic. Moreover, I love the segment where you switch between different timelines. It feels incredibly cool to transition and navigate between timelines seamlessly.
I've always considered Titanfall 2 to be a hidden gem that deserves much more recognition than it currently receives. There are also many great mechanics in mobile games, and while some may argue that they are simpler, I firmly believe these games are still worth playing. I think the developers of these games deserve even more praise for their tremendous efforts.

It's a curated collection of mobile games that dive into the realm of violent aesthetics, showcasing captivating combat scenes that are both stylish and intense. Immerse yourself in a selection of games that masterfully blend action and visual artistry, delivering an adrenaline-filled experience.It makes me think of "Kill Bill aesthetic" which refers to the visual and stylistic elements found in the movies "Kill Bill Series," directed by Quentin Tarantino. This aesthetic is characterized by a blend of various genres, including martial arts, samurai films, spaghetti Westerns, and exploitation cinema. It often incorporates vibrant colors, stylized violence, exaggerated action sequences, dramatic storytelling, and homage to classic films. The Kill Bill aesthetic typically features strong, female protagonists seeking revenge, along with a mix of Eastern and Western influences in its cinematography and soundtrack.
