Awesome game! Intense atmosphere with great detail and a really well presented story. Any fan of Aliens universe can appreciate this. Really hoping for a sequel.
Nah... This is not at all what people are hyping it up to be (and for the record I love games like this). But this seems cheaply made by a movie studio trying to do a quick cash grab, and by the amount of positive response this game got, they obviously completed their mission. The dialogue is horrible in both the cutscenes and during gameplay (every time you make the characters run instead of walk the guy yells out "Lets get moving slugs!" Each mission is just move around and find people and then get ready to walk away as you shoot when an alien comes, its very repetitive and lacks any character at all. I can't see anyone who isn't a DIEHARD "Aliens" movie fan liking this game, and even then its just for the nostalgia of the movie series. Its just seems lifeless and very basic/mundane. I hate I paid for this game and will try to get a refund. Don't take my word for it, its free on GamePass try before you buy, don't make the mistake I did by trusting a bunch of balding guys in their 50's still riding the high of the 1986 who actually think this is a great game.
I love the Alien franchise but I can't recommend this game sadly. I think they nailed the vibe and missions feel tense and spooky but I feel like the game just isn't well balanced and the story is turning out to be uncompelling. I get sick of the strong female lead trope being rehashed in every piece of Alien content that gets published. Hayes is always right and she's better at commanding a military ship and crew then Sergeant Harper just because okay. If your soldiers get injured, they are injured for a week, yet the game only gives you days to complete missions otherwise the Alien threat level goes up. It's become a chore to get through, so I won't be finishing the game. There are too many games still in my backlog to force myself to finish this.
I watched it on Twich a lot of time!!
i played it until I got to the part. and then
Pretty misleading game. It's a creep and peep game, you are so insanely handicapped by multiple mechanics you feel like your are not controlling marines but a bunch of idiots with peashooters. One basic alien can get close to 4 marines. The stress mechanic is the most irritating, pointless, game breaking idea. Under attack? Oh here, there's a massive amount of negative attributes. And also heres making the alien attacks scale, to the point it's like 'you have zero chance'. It literally says this. Then there's ammo. Parts and medical, are stacked in your base as you collect them. Ammo? No, gets completely wasted when you return, so you have to decide in the field if you want to pick it up or not. Got the guts of a good game, but lots of stupid decisions make this a real chore. Didn't play marines to be constantly skulking around!
별로 재미가 없는데, 겜플레이때문에 환불도 못하겠네..ㅠㅠ
This is a great game! It's so thematic, perfectly capturing the tense combat from Aliens. I saw Aliens when i was too young and I had nightmares for a year. It was so therapeutic to get my revenge on them in this game.
Very unique and fun game for an IP that I love. Please give us some DLC or a sequel.
It has some flaws, but it is a solid game. Not everything is clear, and saves are not always where you would like them to be. Linearity is little irritating as well. Still, it's fun.
