Alien: Isolation is the "Alien" game I've always wanted.
Aliens Fireteam Elite is the "Aliens" game I've always wanted. It's not perfect, but it's great fun. The sounds are movie perfect, the game that best nails the Xeno sounds. I'm not too fond of multiplayer games, but it works really well here, matchmaking could use some improvements though, but it works most of the time.
The campaign is surprisingly well done, my expectations were super low after Aliens Colonial Marines, but man, this story is really fun! it doesn't violate canon like A:CM, and somehow it manages to mix some Prometheus into it and it doesn't make it suck!
Great value for the price tag, excellent first game for a new studio, I'm enjoying it a lot and look forward to new campaigns.

It's a good game, but to me it felt like a huge step down from the 2016 reboot.
The combat is way too frantic for me, I acknowledge plenty of people love it being as insane as it is, and it's so much more frantic than 2016's game, but I could not find any enjoyment in it, it felt stressful, not fun.
The loop of deathpunch + glory kill + chainsaw + flamethrower to get, respectively but prob in the wrong order, ammo / health / armor was very cleverly designed, but unenjoyable to me.
I really wanted to like this game.

Easily one of the best CRPGs ever made.
Cool murder mystery with many ways to solve. Huge freedom on how to develop your character, I have yet to see another game give you this many choices. Really nice artwork that fits the theme very well. Interesting world that begs for more games.
This is up top alongside Planescape Torment in terms of amazing writing, it's incredible the amount of superb dialog and dry humour this game has, the inner monologues are just complete brilliance.
I love this game.
