    I love this game, it actually makes you feel like you’re in the movie aliens, it may be difficult in some parts, but with practice orI love this game, it actually makes you feel like you’re in the movie aliens, it may be difficult in some parts, but with practice or preparing better, you can always do it. The control of the marines is perfect and the way they develop their skills, collect experience and level up makes you want to play more to max your favourite marine.
    The only thing that I don’t like is the story, the characters aren’t deep and you don’t really feel them real, the villain isn’t charismatic and there are a lot of things that you don’t understand when you finish the game and doesn’t get explained.
    It is not very good optimízales for ps4 and sometimes it gets laggy but when you go to the ARC or you go in elevator the game doesn’t be laggy any more.
    Overall it’s a great experience and I recommend it, in spite of the bugs, lags and story, because I guess that the bugs and the lag are going to get fixed soon and the story isn’t that bad.
    Great game!    … Expand

    This is a frustrating game to play on the PS4. Technically It's not at all optimized for the last gen consoles. There are significant loadThis is a frustrating game to play on the PS4. Technically It's not at all optimized for the last gen consoles. There are significant load times between screen in the hub area as well as very poor looking visuals. During firefights with aliens, the toggle button for the skill selection will just not work sometimes leading to party TK's as you try to select the shotgun or some other weapon. The performance on the PS4 is so bad, I stopped playing it about 5 hours into it.

    From a gameplay perspective, the soldiers shouting the exact same commands over over get extremely repetitive. I think the lead Marine has three things they say every time you have the squad run anywhere. The dialogue in the hub areas is also repetitive and stiffly performed.

    The levels are beautifully realized and I genuinely think there is a great game in here somewhere.

    I think this game needed more time to bake, especially for the last gen consoles. Extremely disappointed. Do not purchase.    … Expand

Selecting moves in slow mode, as aliens are barrelling towards you is impossible because the UI outright doesn't work. Sometimes an alien will stick itself in a wall blocking your access to a story room (it's supposed to be temporary). C4 doesn't work sometimes. Another example of a game being released before it's ready. Don't waste your money. Get something else.… Expand
