Maaaan, I can’t put into words how much I appreciated your Aliens film quotes worked into your review. It was flawless. Time to go watch the film again!

[@J0MBi]

I was genuinely surprised to hear the Gman say he liked this game. I had major Aliens: Colonial Marines vibes from everything I saw up to this point, but I reckon I'll check it out. I still wish they had done something along the lines of the Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes, or even Dead Space 2, where it had more of a survival horror gameplay style. It always feels to me like it cheapens the Alien to throw approximately one thousand of them at you at high speed just for them to get cut to ribbons by bullets, but that was also a complaint some people had about James Cameron's take on Alien 2 anyway. For what it's worth, the best Aliens game ever made is the Electric Dreams' C64 version called - Aliens. If you've never seen it, check it out and be amazed at how 8 bit gameplay and brutal sci fi horror were merged way before the web was even a thing.

[@mansoorhameed7075]

Nah the only reason is hype. Aliens colonial marines was more of an "Aliens" game, that certainly did the xenomorph better justice than this... but it was also a very disappointing game that let down everyone's expectations. No one can be disappointed in a game they didn't know was ever coming out tho, which is why this game isn't being slammed.

Gonna have to disagree hard with you there, there's no survival horror in Dead Space 2. Its just an action game. Which was good for it, because Dead Space 1 was embarrassing in those regards.

[@justkoz2907]

The funny thing is, Colonial Marines (the unit, not the game) do go on massive bug hunts (according to lore). Weyland-Yutani are absolute dicks. They are constantly engaging with the Xeno Threat. Alien fits so many genres in video games, from Stealth (Playing as an Alien in AVP), to Horde Shooter (like this), to Survival Horror (Alien Isolation), that I'm so glad that it's grounded in Science Fiction as much as horror. Excellent addition to the franchise.

[@Deathshuck]

"If it wasn't for the Aliens license, it would be a run-of-the-mill horde shooter" So I guess that's why Deep Rock Galactic is so brilliant. It stands on it's own two feet with no licence attached to it and is basically the best game I've played in years.

[@Z1mm3rs]

Exactly what I was thinking, if you want an alien experience i think Deep rock is the one. Especially at the end of missons getting back to the pod

[@Justmyhandle]

I still remember how intimidated I was as a kid by the very premise of Aliens, after seeing the damage that one Xenomorph did in the original (sort of like comparing Terminator 1 to 2). Ripley's line to Vasquez chilled me the first time I heard it: "Just one of those things managed to wipe out my entire crew in less than twenty-four hours! And if the colonists have found that ship, there's no telling how many have been exposed." It was a great way to drive home the gravity of this setup. Next thing I know, we're not only seeing dozens-hundreds of new-and-improved Xenos swarming but a super-sized Queen species to boot. It was perhaps the perfect visual for the term "suicide mission", which is what I saw the whole concept as.

@Myrmadon I kind of agree. This game looks fun but it's 40$. It honestly looks like 30-20$ and at the very start we get told that we pretty much need a friend for best experience. It clearly is much better then "Colonial Marines" but honestly it looks like a game that we should have received when "Colonial Marines" was released. It looks ok and fun but nothing amazing. Like I mentioned it is clearly much better then "Colonial Marines" but today it is just ok. It just looks like ok horde shooter in "Alien" style. This game is probably comparable to Terminator: Resistance. It has low budget but good ideas and uses ideas from original source. These games are good examples that budget is not everything but it's hard to compete with other game releases.

[@VulturesNest]

Look, I was burned by Colonial Marines too. But the constant pessimism the fanbase perpetuates over the games and the inevitable tantrum they throw over any flaws in a new game ultimately hurts the future of any Aliens licensed game. Your screeching isn't going to bring about an Isolation sequel.

[@tinklenipples9103]

This is an awesome review Gman. Thanks!

[@lupine9971]

A small detail I really liked was the 'dog' aliens and when you shot them in the legs, they fell and skidded on the floor (looked kinda cute!)

[@thepuertoricandream1376]

Honestly this looked more interesting than back 4 blood, and for 40 bucks it's far better than I think anyone thought it could've been

[@HauntedAbysss]

It's way f****** better than back 4 blood which is pretty sad... They really f***** that idea up.

[@dozer11]

Yeah I got bored in Back 4 Blood Beta and too many people would drop out after one mission even though I’d be reviving them using “Mom”. Plus the gunplay wasn’t satisfying.

[@kristianjensen5877]

"Fun with friends" is, in my opinion, a valid, positive trait when reviewing a game designed around multiplayer coop and where singleplayer is clearly an afterthought. Conversely, if the game was designed to be a single player experience with multiplayer thrown in for laughs, but it was only "fun with friends" *cough* Serious Sam *cough*, then it'd count negatively against the quality of the game.

[@greengarnish1711]

Thing is if this game gets the love it deserves and the devs see how much people really like playing it they'll start updating it not just with patches but with newer updates adding in cosmetics,weapons,marines,aliens and maps you name it. It might just become a real good gem.

[@jerramyerickson2893]

Yep! And it's one of the best Alien games :-)

[@ichangedmyname4108]

i respect your opinions in this review, as it's mostly on point... mostly. However if you actually go for all achievements in this game, and upgrade all the weapons you'll come to understand that much of what you said about thew game only applies to the first few difficulties. You crank this bitch up it's a very different beast and with really good build synergies you'll definitely come to appreciate all of the things this game offers way way more.

[@kiffy2634]

Great vid gman, I bought the arctis pro and aerox mouse because of your recommendation

[@BM-wf8jj]

Most interesting and in-depth review that I've seen for this game so far. I'm definitely considering buying this for full price now. Subbed.

[@shagal2142]

Men why cant Monolith Production who made Alien vs Predator 2 from the early 2000´s and Creative Assembly who made Alien Isolation come together, and make a whole new Alien vs Predator game? If they would work together, this would be the best Alien game we can get. Most fans through there comments, say that alien vs predator 2 was one of the best if not the best alien franchise they expirienced. Alien from Creative Assembly was also just AMAZING!!! And all of this on a 2021 worthy grahpics engine with a good non repetive and long single player campaigne for the 3 races and a strong and balanced multiplayer. But Warner wants to give us...yeah this fair shooting range :(

[@dannic8987]

Preach

[@jdredalert]

It would be awesome, AvP 2 is my favorite Aliens game of all time. But a genuine question, are the same people still around in Monolith Studios? I mean, it's a 2001 game we are talking about, there is no guarantee that we could get the same quality standard today, even if Monolith is involved.

[@shagal2142]

@@jdredalert True but when i see the games they made the last years, which were the Shadow of War Lord of the Ring games, were pretty insane in quality. But its true it could be that quit some people left the place, but who knows? Sadly Monolith doesnt do that manny games in generell :/

It's true, the pulse rifle is the best rifle you can get, even when the BFG is way better!

[@Homeschoolsw6]

Affirmative. No Grenade Launcher this time though....

[@stupid90able]

That warriors reference was perfect

[@Snotnarok]

This is where I pitch Vermintide 2, where you not only can skillfully block and dodge enemy attacks, you can select a variety of characters and classes to suit a playstyle you might have. You also have weapons & traits to suit your preferences that you can select. Lots of variety in missions, there's been free levels in DLC, they've added new classes recently as well. It may look like a L4D clone till you start seeing the different tiers of enemies for what they are and that becomes more apparent on higher difficulties. Armored rats hitting way harder and having armor to deflect damage, giant chaos warriors who are far harder to kill and hit way harder. An array of specials, some can pin (you can also dodge them with skill), suppress you with flamethrowers or miniguns, power up allies with a banner, poison gas globes (that also kill their allies).

[@tumblingworm737]

I don't like vermintide 2 because everyone is hi level and leave me behind

[@Snotnarok]

@@tumblingworm737 Leveling isn't too hard in V2, once you're at 30, that's really the most you need. You get all your skills and that'll help with survival. The bots are even competent enough to help to at legend difficulty (for the most part). As for leaving you behind, I hope you don't mean leaving you behind in the level, because that's simply bad teamwork and they shouldn't be doing that. I play with a group of friends if anything so we communicate & make sure we don't run too far apart, but you will always see players doing that dumb stuff in these kinds of games. I saw that from randos in L4D2, they'd run off, get mad you don't revive them (even though they're like 5 minutes away) and then rage quit after saying some rude stuff
