Terminator 2D: No Fate has finally crash-landed on Xbox after several shipping-related delays, and it sounds as though the team has delivered a solid 2D Terminator game going off the early reviews here.

Today is launch day for the new Xbox title, so at the moment, we're not seeing tons of reviews for No Fate just yet. Still, our friends at Push Square & Nintendo Life have reviewed it — alongside a few other sites — so we're going to gather those up and share them down below.

Without further ado, here's what the early reviews think of Terminator 2D: No Fate:

ProjectN (87%)

"Terminator 2D: No Fate is a love letter to arcades and a sincere tribute to one of the greatest action classics in cinema. Without trying to reinvent the wheel, the game delivers pure fun, precise challenges, and a delightful dive into nostalgia. Its retro visuals and creative expansion of the story captivate both veteran players and newcomers alike. Despite a few dated elements, the overall experience is engaging and highly satisfying. A worthy return to the style that defined generations."

Push Square (8/10)

"Terminator 2D: No Fate is a nostalgic throwback to the time when Terminator 2: Judgement Day was released, and it feels very authentic to that. The shooting and action carry this game, making it feel like it was a tie-in released alongside the movie, but the short length and repetitive nature of it may weigh on some people and cause some questioning of its price tag. Regardless, even if you have never watched any of the Terminator movies, you may come away enjoying what this game is in its short spurts."

Eurogamer (4/5)

"It's obvious that Bitmap Bureau has a huge amount of love and respect for not only the source material but also the moment in time that Terminator 2: Judgement Day was released and this makes Terminator 2D: No Fate an absolute treat for gamers who grew up in the 90s. With sounds and visuals that will transport you back to when you watched the best bits of the movie for the first time and gameplay that will remind you of wired controllers and inserting coins and cartridges, No Fate itself is a little bit of a time machine."

The Sixth Axis (8/10)

"The big question is, does this retro gameplay work in the modern day? For me it absolutely did, I found myself playing just like I did in 90s, learning the enemy patterns and firing in their direction before they even appear. Terminator 2D: No Fate is a challenge on the harder levels, but deaths rarely feel cheap and it does have that much needed “one more go factor” that will have you playing in to the small hours."

Nintendo Life (7/10)

"Interestingly, half of what makes Terminator 2D fun is its painstaking reproduction of the movie on which it’s based. Were it to have no relationship to a beloved IP, it would likely be criticised for its brevity, linearity, and general simplicity. Once fully beaten, you won’t likely return to it for anything except a nostalgia hit, but T2 fans and 16-bit diehards will feel well-served by its detailed reminiscence. A great deal of the game's charm is derived from its novelty factor, and it's that novelty, in conjunction with some clever ideas and impressive authenticity, that should inform your purchasing decision."
