Alien Hominid Invasion

Despite not enjoying the direction taken with the randomized roguelike map progression, the moment-to-moment gunplay and chaotic nature of the original are retained in full and feel better than ever in Alien Hominid Invasion. Played solo, it can be a bit of a slog, with difficulty spikes that don’t feel tuned for solo play, but when teaming up with up to three other players, it’s an experience that shines as you aim to make sense of the chaotic firefights with friends alongside you. I didn’t think it was possible, but the developers have done it with Alien Hominid Invasion and created a sequel two decades after its predecessor that manages to make the series feel fresh all over again.
