Played it last year, it's amazing. The tension is constant, strategy is absolutely necessary and you have to think and make decisions very quickly, otherwise things go south in a moment. Sometimes they go regardless. Recommended for sure, it's underrated and deserves more atention. Nice video!

I also watched the entire play-through and all cut-scenes last year, awesome game indeed which pays more homage to the level design and atmosphere of the Alien Breed games on the AMIGA from the early 1990s. Also amazing and thrilling games, especially Alien Breed Special Edition '92 which was the best of the series!

Very glad I managed to finish Dark Descent just a few week ago before this video came out and not have to worry about spoilers! I really enjoyed Dark Descent and was looking forward to your videos on it, I had a great time with the gameplay and the lore was fascinating and felt like a wonderful love letter to the older Alien comics and novels with the psychic humans/xenos and xenomorph worshippers. Not to mention that final mission with the Titan Xenomorph and the Space Jockey city, wonderfully unsettling and eerie! Maeko is definitely up there for great and resourceful heroes we've had in the franchise. Really hope we get a sequel continuing its themes and building on its gameplay!

While I didn't love the cultist angle, finding it all just a bit hokey compared to the classic anti-corporation beats, I did really dig the guardian design with the chestburster suspended in them. Dark Descent was super fun and I thoroughly enjoyed the Lt. Gorman roleplay experience it provided, even if it was surprisingly difficult. Honestly I'd love to see another strategy/tactics Alien game. Maybe commanding a Weyland-Yutani commando unit, or perhaps the USCM 'Midnighters' mentioned in Into Charybidis.

Was a pretty good game. I thought the basic story ideas were pretty good and intriguing even, although the execution was clunky in some areas. If story was tightened up a little, would make for a great film. The telekinesis bonds starting to be thought possible between aliens and some vulnerable humans; and the cult nature and attempt to integrate alien embryos into the human body in their religious indoctrination, were really interesting ideas.

@@idiot_city5444 not really. As far back as shortly after Aliens came out in 86, there was the idea of the Queen communicating telepathically with her drones, and perhaps even the facehuggers. There's then nothing really new to this, except that for certain humans vulnerable to it, could they tap into that? Dark Descent suggests so.

I loved the idea of the Darwin Era. They fit really well with the Millenarian Doomsayers, the Immaculate Incubation, and the Holy Immolation: Another way of the human psyche dealing (poorly) with absolute cosmic horror and strangeness. "Look long into the abyss," etc. I think my only gripe would be the actual physiology behind the chest portals; bodies don't QUITE work like that . . . Overall, Dark Descent was actually one of the most fun and in-depth portrayals of the ALIEN universe IMO. I wish it had gone even deeper, but it perfectly captured the atmosphere of the films in a way that few games have.

There's more than a little bit of Alien: The Destroying Angels in this one. TDA is one of the best EU comics out there, made before Aliens was filmed. To me it was always the better path to take the universe rather than the angry space hornets Aliens turned the Xenomorph into. To see people in the modern age trying re-infuse the setting with the more cosmic horror elements from TDA and Earth War is nothing but a positive development. Because unless there's something more to the Xenomorphs than them just being a particularly inefficient zombie plague, there's really no threat from them for humanity as a whole. Earth War did a wonderful job of being utterly nihilistic about the state of human society and psychology and TDA made the Xenomorphs part of a sort of deistic dark force of the ultimate Fermian filter. Both of these are so much better than the endless schlock of military romance pulp fiction most of the games and stories serve up.

The blood once again is the key. Ripley 8 showed this, as her blood was too acidic for incubation by a facehugger; the Xenos knew this and moved past her; the facehuggers gave her no thought, as the embryo it carried couldn't gestate in that host. The chest orb is an embryo that's merged and in stasis; the DNA connection has been made and the Xenos recognize this. The process is an unrelaized Ripley 8, or a Predator with the Xeno's long life, strength and healing properties while unmasked to the Xenos, to continue the hunt. The Engineers also merged with the Xenos DNA and advanced their race.. while worshiping the Deacon Xeno.

It felt like the devs wrote themselves into a corner with the last level because with the hardware I was packing, there was no way that thing at the end would have lasted sixty seconds with plasma guns and RPGs. Overall though, this game was a delight to play and I really hope that the studio gets to make a sequel because everything worked here and it is one of the best Alien games Ive played.

Great piece of lore for the Alien universe.

Big fan of the story and game. I think execution of a story like this could be better in the future! But it’s a scary twist, the sway of aliens on humans beyond just money and science.

I loved playing through Aliens Dark Descent I would like a sequel just to see a continuation of Haye's story but I guess we will see.

I really like these deep dives into games in the Alien universe. Dark Descent was one of my favourite games last year. Have you thought of diving into the Alien RPG material? The recent book 'Building Better Worlds' was great, and I'd be interested in hearing your opinion on the things 'explored' in that book.

I loved this game it’s so damn good, I really hope they’re able to make a dlc or sequel to this game. Any chance you’ll make a video covering the weyland yutani super commandos in this game?

" _Mah-RINES!_ " I watched a playthrough of this game, that cultist cracks me up. But I was disappointed that the cultists just... didn't do much.. and the culmination of the story... very lackluster. Spoilers below.. I was also disappointed by the Marlow reveal, and disappointed with the Weyland-Yutani scientist being as expected. I much more prefer when they don't play it straight. It'd been so much more interesting if he was just a really dedicated scientist hellbent on studying them for it's wide-range applications instead of " _Mmmmmoney..._ " . Also when I hear Marlow, can't help but to think of AvP3 from 2010, the Marine ship in that game was called the Marlow. And for ya'll who haven't studied Mythology, in Greek Mythology when you died you found yourself in the underworld where you'd be made to drink from the River Lethe as all souls do to forget your Earthly life. Not malicius, just the cycle of all. So the question here is; Why is this planet called Lethe? Is it a hint towards Marlow or other characters?

Day two of asking Alien Theory to make a video about the xenomorph hive in dead by daylight. Edit: I love any content that is alien related.
