Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2

This is a rough one. I enjoyed the first one despite it being quite bland. The sequel feels more like a version 2.0 instead of a second game, kind of like the Fifa/Madden/NHL games. The game crashed within seconds of launching the game and changing my controls, not worth it right now.

I played the first game, this one is pretty much the same thing a few improvements but not enough to justify this price. It's not a AAA game. It's fun but not at this price they didn't change / add that much to justify the price.

Brilliant game so happy I got it! It feels like the original game but with better graphics and smoother gameplay. The game fits seamlessly into the Alien timeline, featuring references to the first three movies, the prequels, and Alien Isolation. The gameplay reminds me of Left 4 Dead world war z and back 4 blood but with more sci fi action and less gore. my only wish is for there to be a way of purchasing or viewing enemy models in-game, since the fast-paced action makes it difficult to appreciate the designs. Also feel that the Xenomorph life cycle needs to be explained more clearly, as new alien media does not bother explaining it, and the new types of aliens incorporated into this game can be confusing for both long time and new fans. Adding lore files or adding more detail to the already existing enemy bios would be a great way to clarify the alien life cycle and its mutations. The game does feel a bit tame at times, with patronizing voice lines and a lack of the gore that made the series so iconic. Overall, I'd give it an 7.50 out of 10; it's a significant improvement over the first game, and is one of the best games i have played this year and I'm excited to see what future DLCs will bring.

After replaying the first one and remembering how amazing it felt I was super excited to see how they would build off of it. Unfortunately they built off of nothing. The Synthetics that felt like a legit threat in the first game kind of just stand there and wait for you to walk up with a shotgun. I never felt like they were advancing or pushing me out of cover. The actual Alien that we all paid to fight just feels off. There is something that I cant quiet put my finger on. Each mission felt like a chore especially since I had to turn off my dialogue. AvP Had better writing. OMG and that music what the hell is that? Its like sad joke trombone the entire time. Not once does the music swell and make you feel like some bad ass again I had to turn it off. IDK if I will finish it at this point I may come back later but right now I am not sure how to recommend this. I will say this though, the Drones look terifying with those translucent skulls when they are coming after you. If you are enjoying it I am glad. Don't let me yuck on your yum. I know people are really enjoying this but I dont think that this one is for me at the moment.

If you enjoyed the first you'll enjoy this one. It's a horde shooter with a few different factions. The perk system seems even better then the first game. For new players, you can modify your core class abilities to customize them for your build. The turret can shoot gas which can then be changed to a frozen gas for example. The rockets on the marauder can be changed to do fire damage and leave a pool of fire that lasts 5 seconds. The weapons can be heavily customized/modified AND new to this series is you can permanently change the ammo type to be fire, electric, ect vs temporary ammo. Look, this isnt game of the year, but it is fun. Single player with 3 bots is fun. 2+ players gets better and better. For Linux players facing crashes on prologue. I'm on Bazzite and I installed the Proton GE pack and switched my compatibility to that. That allowed the game to get past that.

This game should have been a DLC for AFTE 1, not a seperate game with a 80$ price tag.

If you liked the first one, you'll love this one.

Not sure of why this has so many negative reviews. Game runs perfectly fine for me, so i think most people are just retarded and either: A: Dont know how to update drivers or B: Dont know how to build their own PC Theres plenty of weapons, perks and unlocks, so its hard to gauge how many hours it would take to unlock everything, or if even doing so is completely necessary. If you like the Aliens franchise, and enjoy co-op shooters, then I would def recommend checking this out.

its bad in every way other than visually. 1. locking certain basic things like cosmetics or challenge cards behind game progression feels like a lazy way to forcibly pad out hours played. 2. enemies jittering or even outright teleporting is a constant issue, especially during the second-half of the campaign. 3. the audio is dog water to be frank. the aliens sound like theyre halfway across the room from you even if theyre up in your face, voicelines can and will repeat with an echo, the guns are only passable. 4. the dialogue is terrible. if they were intending to make an obnoxious 'so quirky lol' character then they did raptor well. ko has the personality of easily forgettable cardboard even for someone supposed to be the hardass type. shipp. piper i feel as though could have had better development other than 'i spoke once on the comms now im learning :)' esther and wrench i like simply because they feel more natural compared to the rest. 5. i struggled to pay attention to the storyline on account of the fact that it was so bland and samey. the prologue had me hooked, i was excited. the 2.x missions managed to keep that excitement building up until 3.1 even if there were fair leaps of escalation. the more you start to learn about the big evil doctor, however, and the further you progress into that arc the worse it gets until it becomes nothing more than a 'big scary scientist is doing EVIL and playing GOD.' 6. the ai clearly has a few screws loose as very frequently from what ive played, they would do things such as conga lining or get themselves stuck on nothing in an open space (an issue especially prevalent with the droid enemies). the only ai that seems to work decently well and kind of erratically are the synths, which is bad, because youd also expect that the xenomorph enemies would be able to do more than walk in singular straight lines at you. 7. semi infrequently (in my experience) the interaction key would either take one-two seconds delay or outright stop working. really just a nuisance compared to everything else. 8. the difference between the pre-rendered cutscenes, in-game cutscenes and the actual gameplay itself is utterly jarring to such a degree that it can pull you out of the immersion; going from wonderful to look at immediately into grainy 80s footage. this game is ultimately just fireteam elite 1 with prettier graphics and DOZENS of issues which one wouldve hoped wouldnt have been stuffed into a game that costs a whole 50 dollars. i love that they made challenge cards infinite, added new weapons and systems for said weapons, and abilities. but when i can count how many new things theyve added to 2 on both of my hands while the issues that persist infinitely, constantly grinding against you, its really just not worth it to purchase this game at full price. at best this is a game that you wait a year or two before buying, or buy it when its at a 15-20 dollar discount.
