今作は敵の大群の対処が非常に面倒になった前作は「ここで籠ろう」って場所が明確だったしかし今作はキャンプ行為を明確に排除しに来てるこれのせいで敵が四方から襲ってきて混戦が多い悪い事では無いのだけれど前作より1任務が長いのでこればっかりだと非常に疲れる前作より色々良い部分もあるのだけど MAPも広い空間が少なく敵を狙うのも大変な場面が多い前作より進化してるはずなのに何か疲れるゲームだと思ってしまう悪くないゲームだが前作の方が楽しめたかな

Aliens : Fireteam Elite 2 is unambitious and rushed and clearly budget focused while asking more than the first game asked for but even so AFE2 has it's same fun even if it's a dancing tune that you might have gotten tired of hearing. To some it's going to be enough. But to many including myself who was a fan of the old game, it feels like an expansion to the original as opposed to a fully fledged sequel. AFE2's gameplay is much like it's original and while one may argue that it makes no sense to reinvent the wheel, the opposite is also true in a sense. AFE2 feels too similar to it's original with most of it's newer features working to a detriment to the game's overall design. New classes feel very similar to old ones with a few shiny bells and whistles and while build diversity and the sheer versatility of your options in tweaking guns and your main kit feel pretty good. It ultimately doesn't feel as impactful because of how the gameplay and level design functions at it's core. Which is to say, AFE2 plays almost identically to AFE1 but with a few new toys and menaces. The biggest impact you'll feel in gameplay especially in comparison to the original, whether you've played it or not is the fact that the squad size has gone from 3 to 4. Unfortunately however this does not feel like what the level design was built around, especially with the amount of enemies thrown at you constantly. And while this tension does help in certain setpieces, on higher difficulties where friendly fire is enabled. It means you're constantly having to not just fight the xenos but also fight for any sort of space you can get. And if AFE2 is anything like AFE1 on it's two highest difficulties that can mean death. It's not just that. It's also the sheer amount of enemies as well, some class compositions will actively get you swarmed. Too many Marauders while good with crowd control will mean you just won't have the damage to pump out to clear hordes. You will on occasion have ankle biters constantly harassing you which is annoying. I consider myself to be pretty competent at the game and especially ad clear but due to the sheer amount of angles you can be swarmed from this will inevitably happen or happen when the team's focus switches to special enemies. This isn't a problem with how many enemies there are, in certain sections with 4 players it's balanced but others do not feel catered to that. All of this means the best strategy is focusing enemies into as tight a chokehold as you possibly can. Open areas are simply too filled with angles of attack and this might not have been as much of a problem with a game scaled for 3 players, it definitely is here. It simply doesn't feel designed for 4 players in some levels. If you're hoping for more varied level design from AFE1 then you're going to be sorely disappointed. It might even have less. Objectives are mostly "get intel" or "hold out" and very little variation inbetween. It really adds to the sense that this game is incredibly unambitious. There were points where i had to up the difficulty to fight that boredom of handling the same objectives over and over again to compensate. Classes are often performing the same roles as the first game and while they might have new gadgets, it feels like nothing significant has changed in how you dispatch or control enemies. Not enough to be interesting anyway. I will give the game this much, it feels like a much much more refined version of what we got in AFE1 but doesn't quite tip over the edge into sequel territory. As for the presentation, the entire game does have a sheen of shine to it. Enemies do look nice in this game for the most part even if i expected more things like enhanced gore. However the sound in this game has problems at least for the moment, quite a few bugs and readability issues. Another problem and a callback to what i said at the start. Unambitious setting and story. Take a shot if you've heard this one before. Weyland Yutani are doing experiments on Xenomorphs on a colony. Alright, you done? It feels cliche, like a checklist of things to add to an alien story. You've got your callback to the Engineer and an entire enemy roster based on that. You've got Weyland Yutani synthetics with guns attacking you, turning the game into a third person cover shooter for a few levels. And it just feels so unambitious, so uninspired. Nothing original to it's name. Maybe that's 20th Century's fault but i digress. It's a serious problem and if you've gone into the series you will find nothing here that surprises you significantly. It doesn't help the story itself lacks any sort of tension, there is no stakes at least not very significant ones. The game's interpretation of colonial marines borders on caricature levels of quipping lines constantly, making extremely unfunny jokes and constant feeds of useless information. "I AM THE ULTIMATE BADASS" over and over again. If you want a real nightmare difficulty drinking game, try lasting the night by taking a shot everytime you hear a marine quip. In the end it really does bores me and makes me yearn for something fresh. The sheer amount of recycling of content is immense. You will notice it everywhere if you've played AFE1 alot. The music, the exact same behaviours of some enemies. Literal repeats of skills and abilities from the first game. Some weapons being almost 1:1 from the original. Decals and Outfits. It really cheapens the experience for me. It feels like i'm playing an expansion. I even noticed it in some of the prefabs of the level design, very similar but admitably given a new coat of paint at the very least. I've really really railed hard on this game for awhile, so i'm going to talk about it's praises for a bit. The game does have a significant amount of decor and customisation for your marine and weapons and even more so in build diversity. A drastic amount more than the original game. You will find some neat little thing to play around. The weapons in general feel alot less generic than the previous games with significant drawback and upsides to specialize certain playstyles in your class. The fact the game finally isn't shy from using smartlock on other weapons or even a later augment for any weapon in the game, shows that the game is willing to have some fun if you invest yourself into it. While i've talked a fair amount about the gameplay above, ultimately it is AFE which is to say that it is fun at a base level but essentially just serviceable. There isn't anything significantly exceptional here. Maybe in a more cooperative settings with friends it's more of a blast but that isn't saying much. While i have talked about the recycling of old content being significant, there is also alot that is new here. So i'd argue that it's not quite as bad as i'm making it out to be on that front. The new augment system for your weapons definitely helps with that. Ultimately AFE2 is what i said at the start. Unambitious. It's a fine enough game and i don't think i can even say it's a bad game ultimately. It's just painfully average. And while that might work for a budget title, this game isn't priced at budget. It's just outside that bracket and it will cut a lot of it's target audience. I just cannot recommend it at the price it's at. Not now. Hell no. There are simply way too many games that are more worth your time with less investment, including the original AFE and to that end, it's disappointing. Wait for sale.
