Well done review! As a franchise junky I was buying this anyway, but this review has me excited and prepared for some of the downfalls to prepare for. Exactly what a review should do!

[@DarioViolate]

Played about 4 hours today. It's SO fun, very chaotic once the shooting starts and not at all a cakewalk when playing with AI teammates. Even more fun with teammates. Surprising amount of depth with class perks, weapons and gunplay very solid, audio design and EPIC soundtrack sure help with that! And..wait for it.. They actually did the shotguns right, they pack a fucking punch. Do it, buy the game, it's worth it.

[@ArchN3m3s1s66]

Hows the progression?

[@brucereutens8730]

No doubt this is a run and gun action title but watching one of the big armoured strong boys slow walking toward you while you empty a magazine into them causes SOME feelings of dread. I dig it.

[@rodneyhorsley8601]

Go ahead and run and gun and see how far that gets you on harder difficulties lmao

[@phoenixfaze1]

This was a really good review more in depth than any others I have seen so far

[@SecularStrategy]

Those big X's that pop up over the dead aliens are VERY weird. Maybe it's helpful for the player, but from my spectator view, it's distracting. Makes it look like the xenomorph just gave a bad answer in Family Feud.

Then go watch ign's review! Those jackoffs at ignorant will be glad that you agree with their review score!

I think it deserves a 6. Gameplay’s uninspired. Too basic. Not worth your time playing solo a lot of peeps are saying, so why make the offline available with crappy bot squad AI? Better yet, why pay an extra $30 bucks for weapon skins and emotes? I just see wasted potential here. *Go to the marker, press button, wait for them to come to you, shoot, go to the next marker, go to the next switch, repeat, repeat. It’s gonna be one helluva Honeymoon phase for the fans and then by this time next month, I bet more than half of the playerbase isn’t gonna come back to it.
