    Love Aliens ? Got mates ? Buy it you will love it ! It's all about the hordes and how to manage them . Gunplay and movement feels great !
    It's not a AAA game so don't expect a intense solo experience It's all about the coop ! Great fun

    Aliens Fireteam Elite is a fun co-op shooter. Does nothing particularly revolutionary, but makes great use of it's licence.

    The developers at Cold Iron Studios have made a good move with Aliens: Fireteam Elite. The different classes and weapons can provide a lot of fun and variety, either alone or in a team. The storyline also pleases and drives you through the individual missions. Also, the possibility to always find or obtain new elements and items is already plenty addictive.

Also, the possibility to always find or obtain new elements and items is already plenty addictive. Here's hoping that the developer's support continues and new content is always coming. Those who would like to experience a great shooter alone or with friends should definitely take a closer look at "Aliens: Fireteam Elite". Buyers of the PS4 and Xbox One versions will also get a free update for the new consoles.… Expand

    Action, Action,Action. Einer der besten Horden-Shooter der letzten Jahre. Authentische Sounds und solide Grafik. Jeder „Alien-Action-Fanboy“ wird es mögen.

    Really fun third person shooter, though there are some bugs that need to be fixed. If you are a fan of James Cameron’s aliens, this game is a must for you!

    Took another gamble at this game series coming out of the abomination that was Colonial Marines.
    Gotta admit, I'm impressed.

    Gameplay

    It's good enough. Controls are smooth, activating skills is like a Destiny esque style of L1 and R1. No super skills though but gives you very helpful passive perk. The lack of super skills I respect, these guys are not super heroes but your average grunts.

    Enemies range from different Xenos to small ones that die easily, Drones that will come and grab you and retreat when injured. For the ones who like to speed run through will come across the Marauder xeno who will 'love' you to death if you stray too far from your team. I love when this happens to them because this is a team game and you need to stick with the team. You get the occasion Wey Yu android soldiers, face huggers and obviously the big bad mama xeno.

    I've tried 4 classes and I'm sticking to the Doc or medic class only because they're a rare find in matchmaking (just doing my part). But that doesn't mean I'm a weakling, I've unlocked the Flechette sniper rifle and I'm one shotting bugs from afar while keeping the hard hitters alive. My second go to is the Demolisher or Heavy class. The Smart gun aka aimbot gun is very handy clearing out bugs in corridors. Technician is good for setting up defences like Sentries and slowing down advances with coil grenades. The gunner is the standard grunt which gives boosts to attacks. There is a 5th class to unlock once you complete the campaign.

    Graphics/Sound

    For a small developer, they went all out in this department. Game looks beautiful on PS5 running 60fps throughout. From the glossy reflective head carapace of a Xeno to the iconic sound of your Pulse rifle belting out 60 rounds full clip they kept true to the movies. Voice acting is a bit sub par and the radio noise can be overwhelming sometimes.

    Multiplayer

    Multiplayer has been good to me connection wise. Matchmaking has matched me with players with equal level so can't complain. It's the finding is the hardest part, it feels like they don't have enough players and you revert to your AI android soldiers who are CRAAAPPP. You will not be able to finish the harder missions without real players. Hopefully, they can buff your AI friends in the next update.

    Overall, I'm enjoying my experience with the game. It's a bit of a grind to level up but they unlock attachments and new guns so that'll keep me busy for the next month or 2.

    Super jeu, dans un super univers, bon gameplay, bonne ambiance, bonne B.O. en général les shoot à la 3eme.personne ne me plaisent pas parce que générique et manquant de personnalité... La la licence alien fait des miracles... Rien que le bruit des armes... Être assillit par des vagues de xenomorph quel pied...

    A surprisingly rich game that has pulled me back for repeatedly. The gameplay loop has been more grappling than many of the triple A titles I’ve owned recently and so deserves a high score from me. Bought on Ps4 continued on Ps5.

    Super fun to play with friends. Just wish there was more content. Another expansion or extra class would be great.

    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.
