Wrote a while back that these two games were coming to EA Access, the Xbox version of the subscription, but it wasn't terribly clear if it would also come to Origin Acces, the PC version.
It did. Woo!

Catalyst is solid, but it's a real retread of the first, and damn does it have the laziest sandbox I've ever seen.
I was surprised that Doom and Titanfall 2, both games with parkour as a secondary mechanic, did the whole first person parkour thing better than it did.
If you must blink, do it now. -

Huh, apparently you don't have access to the entire Battlefield 1 campaign through the ten hours you have from EA/Origin Access. Sucks. Don't really care to play the multiplayer again.
I got the Battlefield 1 Ion Titan skin for Titanfall 2, though, so that's always something.

Finished Catalyst last night. For the most parts I enjoyed the game. Parkour feels quite good. Open-world was wasted on me since I didn't feel like doing side-missions or mini-games. I don't get why they removed the guns from the game. One of the small joys in the first game was blowing an enemy's head off with their own shotgun. Yeah, it wasn't the best example of first person shooting ever, but so what? Faith was a runner, not a gunner, so that made sense. They give what I assume is an attempt to justify it, but, while it's nice to a game convey something without words, it falls flat as Faith has no qualms about killing by kicking guards off sky-scrapers. Ending was just weird. It doesn't conclude anything and seems to set up a sequel, which seems a tad optimistic considering how much of a letdown the sales were for them for the first game.
