    I never compare games in my reviews, but I can’t deny how similar this game is to The Division, mainly it’s expansion, Underground, which focused on PvE. The Division is one of my favorite games ever, so my comment isn't an insult. With the bullet sponge enemies, high difficulty, tactical abilities, stat modifying weapon attachments, and overall feel of the game, the comparison is hard toI never compare games in my reviews, but I can’t deny how similar this game is to The Division, mainly it’s expansion, Underground, which focused on PvE. The Division is one of my favorite games ever, so my comment isn't an insult. With the bullet sponge enemies, high difficulty, tactical abilities, stat modifying weapon attachments, and overall feel of the game, the comparison is hard to ignore.

    This game is clearly meant to played in a group, even on Standard difficulty. Bots aren’t useless but take a lot of avoidable damage and often stand still. The story is forgettable and the dialog is abysmal. Finding intel unlocks lore but I stopped caring almost immediately.

    This game shines with its upgradable classes and pure fun gameplay. You will be repeating missions and mindlessly shooting down hordes of xenomorphs but you're always progressing. The perks and weapons you unlock are worthwhile and accommodate many playstyles. Dozens of relentless enemies fill the screen and come from everywhere. Most encounters are intense, leaving you with a "Who's next?!?!" attitude when its over. The end of the last mission is outstanding, so much so, my friend saved a clip and kept rewatching it lol.

    I was looking for a co-op game with the potential to be played indefinitely and despite being a budget game, it has filled that void nicely. - 7.5

    PS: I love that there are 2 modern games that capture the spirit of the first 2 movies in this franchise and are properly named.    … Expand

    So much fun! I wasn’t expecting much from this game but was really surprised. Me and my friend haven’t been able to stop playing! Lots of replay-ability and only £30!

    Editing this a Little while in… dropped from an 8 to a 5 due to zero endgame and the hard difficulties being near impossible with zero reward. Fun whilst it lasted tho.

    Juego que no se puede perder ningún fan de la saga Alien. Tiene 4 campañas de 3 misiones por cada una y con un máximo de 3 jugadores, una vez lo completas te dan el modo Horda que es sobrevivir cantidades enormes de oleadas de todo tipo de aliens. Una vez hecho todo ya es solo repetir y repetir para farmear accesorios de armas, cosméticos.... aunque todo se puede comprar en la tienda. LeJuego que no se puede perder ningún fan de la saga Alien.

Le pongo un 6 porque tiene muy poco contenido ya que en 3 tardes te lo puedes pasar entero. Eso si hay que jugarlo con amigos ya que es mas divertido y hay que compenetrarse en cada nivel.… Expand

    Decent game, I had fun for the first couple of hours. It certainly does get repetitive, even on co-op mode. More often than not, in Co-op you're teamed up with some goon that plays 5+ hours a day that expects you to know the ins and outs off the bat, rushing ahead and getting pummeled because he acts like he has something else better to do. Y'know, typical co-op randoms BS.

    The other thing that annoys me about this game, is that in solo mode you can't pause the game. You'd think by now that developers would realize this totally sucks when playing solo, but I guess thats why this game is priced the way it is.
    It does remind me of Gears of War Hoard mode (which I haven't played honestly in over 10 years now), so, if you're into non stop waves of enemies popping out at nearly every moment, this game is for you.
    Personally, I like games that can pace itself properly, allow you to pause in solo mode, and don't team you up with wannabe Spider-mans that expect you to read their minds for strategic advantage. Definitely a rental unless you have a couple friends that are into this kinda thing.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not sure what the negative reviews are for. Finding this to be a great game. Okay not as hard as isolation but the weapons are great and gives you a real sense of being in the Colonial Marine core!… Expand

    This online-focussed squad shooter recreates the feel of the Aliens movie perfectly but rarely gives us something original to do with all that pitch-perfect fan service. [Issue#6, p.82]

    Despite issues with repetition, Aliens: Fireteam Elite delivers where it counts; in its core gameplay. When you’re in the moment, obliterating hundreds of enemies using iconic weapons, against the backdrop of stunning locations that tap into the amazing cinematography the Alien franchise is known for, any shortcomings almost seem irrelevant. And, with the promise of free playable content to come across the next year, the rock-solid foundation which Cold Iron Studios has built could turn into something truly special.

    Remarkably faithful to the source material and always fun to play, Aliens: Fireteam Elite is bogged down by an uninspired story and a huge amount of bugs.
