This game is one of those that really blasted me into the life of cynicism and disappointment. I was so looking forward to it, since Aliens is probably my favorite movie of all time. The game was... well, it was playable, I guess I'll give it that. Subpar graphics, mediocre story, unrefined gameplay, terrible enemy AI, and so unimaginative that it just had to rely on nostalgia boners (like mine, admittedly) around every corner. It got the visual style down, it even added a couple new things like weapons that fit the universe really well. It's just, that's it. It's Aliens, I guess. It did the thing, it just didn't do it very well or do well in a way that makes it memorable. 5/10, painfully average, maybe an extra point from me because Aliens is so badass.

Gawd, when I saw Angry Joe's review of this game, I felt stupid and disappointed. "From the people who made Borderlands!" gave us... this? It sucked. I swear, the Aliens franchise has been at Limbo for while. From this to Prometheus and the sequel to the mobile game sequel for Aliens Isolation, I'm still... STILL hoping that the franchise can turn around for a comeback in film AND gaming.

I was so excited for this to come out. 'Alien' was the movie that turned me into a horror fan as a kid. And then: Gearbox had it at PAX. Oh shit! Right? We went to the panel and listened to the Gearbox guys talking about how they got to peek inside of Ridley Scott's storyboard bible for the Alien universe -- not just his sketches for the movie, but his background notes about all of the lore he'd ever come up with. I was deeply, deeply jealous, and so excited, because they'd been handed the keys to the freaking kingdom after years of being death-gripped by Fox. And the game? We waited in line for ages. I got into that fucking power loader set piece they had and mugged for the camera, you bet I did. And the multiplayer? PRETTY SWEET, actually. They had it set up so that you were playing multiplayer pvp sessions against the dev team. It was just asymmetrical pvp, not anything special by that time, but it played well and gave me flashbacks to good times with the old AVP title on PC. I went home from that PAX and told my friends: I think this is actually going to be pretty sweet. They bought it on my recommendation. We found out much later that the multiplayer section was really the only section that Gearbox had handled in-house. Those MFers took the only demo-able piece of the game they even had, in full knowledge that it was *nothing* like the single player experience in polish or any other way, and they used it to sell people at PAX on what we eventually wound up with. And since we were playing versus Gearbox employees, I really felt like that made everybody involved complicit. I gave up on Gearbox after that, tbh. It wasn't the worst game ever made, but on top of bungling something so beloved by so many people, they knowingly played a shell game with the product at a public showing. It soured me on it, and them, pretty much irrevocably. Thank god for Isolation. After the above shitshow, it felt so gratifying to play a game where you could really feel the love the developers had for the Alien universe, in all of their attention to detail.

Unless you end up finding another one of the legendary weapons (which i never found) later on in the game you end up having to do the whole game with 2 shotguns only. While 2 shotguns sounds fun on paper its horrible in practice.
