Games Like Titanfall 2
Quick Answer
The closest games to Titanfall 2 are Apex Legends, Ultrakill, Doom Eternal, Ghostrunner 2 and Severed Steel. Below are 9 picks with the reason for each — what carries over from Titanfall 2, and what does not.
What Made Titanfall 2 Work
Titanfall 2 has the best movement in any shooter — wall-running and sliding chain into a rhythm you never want to break — and a single-player campaign where nearly every level introduces one mechanic and then throws it away. Both halves are worth chasing separately.
Titanfall 2 is Respawn Entertainment's 2016 first-person shooter, published by EA for PS4, Xbox One and PC. Its campaign follows rifleman Jack Cooper and his Titan, BT-7274, through levels that each introduce a new idea, including Effect and Cause, where you switch between two time periods at the press of a button. Multiplayer blends wall-running pilots with giant Titans. Fans usually want either the fluid movement or a campaign with the same creativity.

9 Games Like Titanfall 2
1.Apex Legends
Same studio, same universe, and the movement survived.
Why it fits: Respawn Entertainment's free-to-play battle royale, released in 2019, is set in the Titanfall universe and keeps sliding, climbing and fast movement.
What is different: A free battle royale with no campaign, no Titans and no wall-running.
Where to play it: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Switch.

Movement shooting at its purest, and it never slows down.
Why it fits: Arsi 'Hakita' Patala's fast retro shooter, first released in early access in 2020 by New Blood Interactive, rewards dashing, sliding and style.
What is different: Deliberately retro graphics, style ranks and blood as health; there are no mechs.
Where to play it: PC.
More about this game →3.Doom Eternal
The other modern shooter built entirely on movement.
Why it fits: id Software's 2020 shooter forces constant motion through arenas, with dashes, a grappling hook on the shotgun and resource management through combat.
What is different: Arenas you clear before moving on, and a resource loop that forces constant weapon changes.
Where to play it: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch and PC.
More about this game →4.Ghostrunner 2
Wall-running as the whole design, at lethal speed.
Why it fits: One More Level's 2023 first-person action game uses wall-running, dashes and one-hit deaths, with a katana instead of guns.
What is different: Sword-first, and one hit kills you, so it is much harder and more trial-and-error.
Where to play it: PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
More about this game →5.Severed Steel
Sliding, wall-running and bullet time in a small, sharp package.
Why it fits: Greylock Studio's 2021 shooter lets you wall-run, slide and dive in slow motion through destructible environments.
What is different: Short and arcade-like, with destructible walls and no story to speak of.
More about this game →6.Half-Life 2
If the campaign's constant invention was the part you loved.
Why it fits: Valve's 2004 shooter constantly changes pace, introducing vehicles, physics puzzles and new weapons as the campaign goes on.
What is different: Slower, with puzzles and physics between the firefights, and no wall-running.
Where to play it: PC, Xbox, Xbox 360 and PS3.
More about this game →7.Armored Core VI
For the mech half, with real weight.
Why it fits: FromSoftware's 2023 mech action game, Fires of Rubicon, has you build and pilot customisable mechs with fast, heavy combat.
What is different: Entirely in a mech you build part by part, with hard boss fights and mission briefings.
Where to play it: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
More about this game →8.Warframe
Free, and the traversal is closer to Titanfall than anything else.
Why it fits: Digital Extremes' free-to-play 2013 co-op game uses sliding, wall-running and bullet jumping across fast missions.
What is different: A free online grind with years of systems; it asks for far more time than Titanfall's campaign.
Where to play it: PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and iOS.
More about this game →9.Portal 2
The other campaign where every chapter is a new idea, then discards it.
Why it fits: Valve's 2011 puzzle game introduces a new mechanic almost every chapter, with a strong single-player story and a separate co-op campaign.
What is different: A puzzle game with a portal gun; there is no combat.
Where to play it: PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and Switch.

Where to Start
Apex Legends is the easiest way to keep the movement, and it is free. For a campaign with the same inventiveness, Half-Life 2 and Portal 2 are both essential. Ultrakill is the choice if you want the speed turned up even further.
How We Picked These Games
We split the picks between movement-driven shooters and games with inventive, level-by-level campaigns. Each pick needed at least one of those, and we included Respawn's own follow-up because its movement is directly descended from Titanfall.
