    A lean offering with a promising future, developer Faultline Games has achieved that rarest of things; to separate a core feature from a game and allow it to stand on its own two feet and make it equally worthwhile to established veterans and unpractised hands alike.

    NS2: Combat proves to be a good shooter, fun and less demanding of Natural Selection 2, missing something in terms of originality. Its only real flaw lies in a rather high price.

You think it’s over, time to respawn, but wait, you’re alive inside this alien and punching to kill your foe before you’re digested! Your team lays siege to this creature and your combined fire bring down the beast AND YOU’RE STILL ALIVE! Crazy fun aliens vs. marines, play on either side, different types of aliens, marines and weapons, tactics, upgrade options, game types and more!
    Surprisingly no technical issues on the first day of launch. Game loads fast on my SSD and I'm running highest settings with 160 fps consistently. They also mentioned on their 96-hour stream that we can expect some really cool upcoming enhancements. I see a bright future for this game.
