A very competently made third person co-op shooter. Unfortunately, competency puts this game towards the top of the list when it comes to the Aliens franchise.
A lot of the fun is in the different classes and weapons and how satisfying they can feel but the actual missions lack variety or any sort of replayability a la L4D's director or the procedural generation of a Deep Rock Galactic. I think the biggest misstep of the game was using wholly custom characters rather than customizable pre-made and voiced characters like Vermintide 2. A lot of what gives Vermintide its character is in the interactions between each member of your team. One of the most memorable parts of Aliens is the personalities of the marines, and that's just not here rather you get an extremely limited character creator in place of it.
Fun for one or two playthroughs or mabye a couple more with some buddies but ultimately a game you and I will both forget about a week from now.
