Watch: Six time travel adventures that could have ended in disaster

Spoiler warnings ho.

I've written about this on the site once already so I shan't go on about it, but there's a really cool bit in Titanfall 2 that involves time travel.

As well as being a genuinely welcome surprise, this portion of Titanfall 2's campaign got me thinking about video game time travel, insomuch as it always seems to go swimmingly. Indeed the more I thought about it, the more video games seemed to be dancing on a knife edge - always seeming to get away clear while playing around with stuff that's pretty heavy duty (doc).

Watch on YouTube

In recognition of the ease with which video game characters travel through time, Ian and I compiled the above list of six time travel adventures that could have very easily ended in disaster. Be warned, the video contains some heavy spoilers for Titanfall 2, The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask, Bioshock Infinite, Life is Strange, Singularity, Chrono Trigger and Super Time Force. And there I go spoiling the games on the list. If you have any suggestions of your own, however, please do add them in the comments below.
