TLDR: This game is for Aliens fans. If you are not an Aliens fan, then you probably won't like it. Why? Well, it's currently in a strange state (server bugs, gameplay issues), but if you are a fan of the films and itching for some action/interactivity, the game's flaws might be forgivable. I've played around 15 hours so far at the time of this review. To start, this is an online game that has some serious netcode issues. Random disconnects, lags, and more plague the gameplay and make it sometimes difficult if not impossible to complete a mission. I have no issues with other online shooters, and I have optimized QoS router settings that work well with my fast wired ethernet connection. Cold Iron (developer) needs to address this as a priority. Next there are some odd gameplay nav quirks. Playing this on a PS4/PS5 you'll quickly notice that the game was built for PC first, and ported to consoles. This is mostly apparent by the menu design, where you need to move the "mouse" cursor to different options and then select. It's slow and tiresome, and begs for better integration with console navigation best practices. The item selection wheel could be faster, especially when faced with an oncoming horde. Finally, we come to the game's co-op system, which is fun when it works. The problem is that there are so few players at this point, that you will likely be matched with two "AI Synth" teammates 80% of the time. These AI team bots are absolutely awful to play along with. They act more like fodder for the enemy, and are constantly in the way, or put themselves into danger which risks mission success and rewards. Completely avoid the AI members unless you are just starting out and playing on the lowest level of difficulty. Until the game gets more popular and matchmaking works better , the AI bots are my number one gripe. The good news is that many of the issues noted above are fixable, and Cold Iron (developer) is pushing out content updates and fixes in good time. Even though the game isn't perfect, I'm happy to support the developer and look forward to what things will be like in a few months. So if you can make it past the above, then you're ready to enjoy - and it's a blast! The whole game is quite visually stunning, and walking through areas inspired by the movie line sometimes gives me a good "wow" feeling of nostalgia. A wide variety of weapons and perks to unlock make player development fun and varied. The lore is well written, and even the voice acting is decent for a "budget" game (currently priced at a discount to MSRP here on Amazon). Blasting the various types of aliens in horde mode is extremely satisfying. Finally, when you get matched to a good team, you may have the option of many hours of enjoyment and laugh with your fellow players from around the world. 4/5 stars, even accounting for the aforementioned issues.

Why can't they make a truly fun Aliens game. One that captures the feel of the movies, but isn't just a ok shooter or a game where you hide for 10 hours. Aliens Fireteam Elite comes so close to being the Aliens game I want. Real quick what is with the Elite part of the title. Aliens Fireteam would've worked just fine. It isn't like there is another game in a series or that this is some form of remake. Just a odd choice of verbiage. Aliens Fireteam has a story... no clue what it is but there are about 6 chapters with multiple missions to it that add up to a fairly long game. I will say while I know nothing about the story the visuals and sounds in this game get Aliens right. Your space marine looks and uses the weapons of the characters from Aliens. The weapons sound just like they do in the movie and seem to function like you see on the screen. Using the M56 Smartgun on a large group of Xenomorphs is one of the most satisfying thing out there. The locations may not be the ones from the movies, but they sure do feel like they belong to that universe. All this combined will have you with friends quoting the movie or even by yourself just thinking of Aliens quotes while playing. The gameplay however starts very satisfying. With this being a co-op shooter it is always online. In this day and age that is pretty normal. If you can't find a team they will give you androids as your two partners. In my experience the androids are sometimes more helpful then actual other humans. They don't go running off ahead or wandering around. They are pretty good shots. Also they will only ever heal the player. Regardless the early levels are chaotic and they will just dumb aliens at you left and right. This essentially is like Left for Dead, but with aliens and third person. They have different types of aliens as well. Some that explode, spit acid, jump on you and maul you, and one that is just big and hard to kill. The game takes a dip in the second chapter when androids are introduced as a new enemy. They are not fun to fight and are just annoying. The game gets stale after 4 hours of playing. It just ends up being the same thing over and over that all the love I have for the franchise can't make me want to keep playing. That is a huge sin for a game is getting boring and this game does it. Maybe if you and a friend play everyday after work it wouldn't seem so bad, but trying to blow through this like I did you will have to force yourself to go back to it each time. Overall this is a great attempt and I hope they keep trying to make something land in the Aliens franchise. I really want a game in this universe that I can't put down. I would say wait for a good discount before giving this game a shot. Until next time friends. Read more
