Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
13 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.43/day in the week to Aug 17 → 5/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Reviews
I played this right after [url=https://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/1549970/]Aliens: Fireteam Elite[/url], and found this much less enjoyable. The difficulty seemed much higher and had several spots that felt like "die until you succeed/get lucky". However, this did provide some insight as to what happened between the movies Aliens (aka Aliens 2) and Aliens 3, which is the main reason I got this one. The Audio Logs in this game were interesting, but unfortunately you have to stand right beside them to hear them, if you wander off you can't hear them. I would have preferred being able to listen as I continued my level. If you are a fan of the Alien movies and want more of the storyline, get this. If you can only get one game though, I'd recommend Fireteam Elite over this. It is much more enjoyable.

13 on sale2 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 2 “not sold” markets are read from the Steam price pass of Sep 8: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price in those. The 13 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

After playing and finishing Alien Isolation first, This was hard to enjoy in comparison. It's a shame really, underneath this mess of a game there is a good game waiting to be played. But there are too many issues with this to make this even a decent game. Honestly I love the idea of playing as a marine and gunning down every xenomorph that comes your way but the biggest issue with this game is the AI! I played the campaign on easy mode and holy sh!t some of the bugs I came across were ridiculous. I had enemies no clipping behind walls and still giving me damage, I had characters jumping across the map within seconds to attack, I had some glitch out and become sponges where I would have to unload more than two whole clips into them to finally kill one enemy and the worse for me are the xenomorph's that keep glitching everywhere when crawling across walls and roofs. Also too the graphics has aged quite poorly despite it only being two years older than Isolation. Honestly unless you are a die hard Alien fan, This game offers nothing. I have suffered so that you don't have to get this.
My local Randy Pitchford stan, Donaldi Esperanto, is such a big fan of this cinematic masterpiece, that he dare not touch it for fear of breaking out in uncontrollable tears of ecstasy. So as but a humble friend i played in his stead. I wanted to give this a meh rating, but he cried and begged that I at least make it positive for his Idol at gearbox.
I damn Randy Pitchford and his entire bloodline for funnelling funds for Colonial Marines and spending them on Borderlands instead. I mean sure, there's PLENTY that weasel of a human being has done, but that's the one thing that REALLY irks me about him. This game is by no means perfect, but is it as bad as some people say? No. The main issue this game has is the questionable AI, which is all due to a typo in the files, but luckily that can be easily fixed by either editing the files yourself (which isn't super difficult so don't worry) or by using the top tier overhaul mod from TemplarGFX.
Oyunu güzel güzel yapmışlar ama öyle bir hud yapmışlar ki oyunu oynanmaz yapmış. Çok kötü çok kötü. İnanılmaz rahatsız edici bir hud, güya kasktan gördüğümüz için öyle bir konsept yapılmış ancak ne okunuyor, ne görülüyor, göz alıyor, değiştirilmiyor ya da kapatılamıyor. Rezillik.
Disclaimer: This review assumes you have applied the AI tether fix. See here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/49540/discussions/0/3832042807502714513/ It's actually a pretty decent game. Just a fun co-op shooter with lots of guns, some progression mechanics, a co-op campaign, and a wave based survival mode. Worth grabbing during a sale and playing with a friend or two.
Aliens: Colonial Marines is a first person shooter that supports 4 player coop gameplay. This game world is larger than the earlier AVP. Colonial Marines is more oriented towards eliminating aliens which are abundant. Weapons are a basic assault gun and pistol. The gameplay and artwork are based on the Aliens film. The game was developed with the Unreal 3 engine. The game assets have been criticized for low resolution textures and weak lighting. The PC version is considered to be more polished. The game sold well on the PS3 and Xbox 360. I played this on my Dell XPS 9570 with GTX 1050 Ti Max Q graphics. At 4K UHD the game's limitations are very apparent.
a legend. they cheated all of us with that fake E3 trailer and it radically changed video game marketing in general. thank you
„Verrissen? Absolut. Aber für mich: das beste Alienspiel überhaupt.“ Alle Welt hat auf Colonial Marines eingedroschen – Ich sage: völlig übertrieben. Wenn ihr Aliens – Die Rückkehr liebt und keinen Horror-Simulator mit Taschenlampe sucht, sondern knackige Action, coole Waffen und Atmosphäre satt, dann seid ihr hier genau richtig. Das Spiel ist voll vertont auf Deutsch, bringt euch zurück nach LV-426, gibt euch den Bewegungsmesser in die Hand und lässt euch durch verrauchte Gänge hetzen, während aus den Wänden Xenomorphe krabbeln. Was wollt ihr mehr? Dass ein alter Bekannter wieder lebt, ist zwar erzählerischer Murks, aber ehrlich – bei der Atmosphäre die das Spiel bietet, ist das schon Meckern auf hohem Niveau. Einziger echter Dämpfer: Diese pseudo-patriotische Marines-Schnulze im Ami-Stil – „Wir lassen niemanden zurück“... bla bla. Im Film waren sie überheblich und sind draufgegangen, Punkt. Und der Solo-Modus ist nix für Weicheier – wer alleine spielt, kriegt selbst auf „leicht“ schon ordentlich aufs Maul. Aber im Koop? Macht das Spiel richtig Laune. Es trifft genau den Ton von Aliens: nicht zu viel Horror, nicht zu viel Hollywood – sondern einfach dreckige Sci-Fi-Action mit bösen Biestern. Also: Hört nicht auf die ewig nörgelnden Kritiker. Für mich und meine Freunde ist das hier das beste Alienspiel, Punkt.
This game sucked. Anti player bias to the max. Enemies would ignore and run past your allies just to kill you. Enemies will run past their other enemies just to kill you. Your allies barely kill anything "ill cover you" is the biggest lie they will tell. Campaign was short and predictable. The aliens will jump past everyone directly at you. Besides some good jump scares i would not waste more than 3 bucks on this game.
