Aliens: Fireteam Elite has a lack of mission variety, technical issues, bad matchmaking, and a repetitive structure. All of that said, it's still a fun time. I’m off to play some more right now.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a fast-paced Alien-based game with solid gameplay but limiting options

Aliens: Fireteam Elite is an unapologetically loud action movie in video game form. It wants you to kill lots of things and it gives you plenty of tools to do so. While its special enemies are a bit of a letdown, the weapon sounds and overall pacing of combat encounters compensate for it. The structure of these encounters can get a bit formulaic and does gradually lose its charm the more you play through the same level, but intense battles and narrative surprises make for a fun first playthro...

Aliens: Fireteam Elite could have been a much better game but its many bugs and glitches, and strange design decisions hold it back from shining.

To say that video game adaptations of the Alien franchise are hit and miss is a bit of an understatement. On the one hand, we have genre-defining classics like Alien vs Predator (1999) and Alien: Isolation. Then there's Aliens: Colonial Marines, a release besmirched by industry lies.

The Alien IP has had a mixed bag of representation in video games, with the terrifying Alien: Isolation as a high point, and the awful Aliens: Colonial Marines as a spectacular low point. The next dev team up to bat is Cold Iron Studios with Aliens: Fireteam Elite, a co-op third-person shooter that has the potential to deliver compelling horde gameplay enhanced by deeper-than-you’d-expect character class progression. Unfortunately, I was hoping for game over, man, long before the credits rolled.

I grew up in a pretty conservative household where everything I watched or listened to had to be approved by my parents. I wasn’t even allowed to watch Harry Potter as a kid, which was a pretty big deal to miss out on as a child of the 90’s. The one exception to the rule was Aliens, which I watched for the first time at the age of eight. Why? Because my mom loved it and reasons. Given it was the only thing I could watch that wasn’t Disney or Nickelodeon, I latched onto Alien and Ali...

Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a disappointment. Even as an avid fan of the franchise, the fun to be had here is limited. Misguided design, hamstrung presentation and painfully repetitive gameplay suck the fun out of what is, on paper, a promising game. I'd love to have had a meaty, cooperative survival game to play with friends, an escalating challenge that gradually expected more of me as a player, with a story more than just serviceable in moving from one mission to the next. This time, I'm only screaming in frustration.

Maybe I was too hard on Federation Force.After 2014’s excellent Alien: Isolation, the Alien series has been rather conspicuously absent from the realm of video games. [...]

It’s trying its best with an obviously low budget but rather than replicating the tension and thrills of Aliens this has much more in common with one of its lacklustre sequels.

When accompanied by friends, Aliens: Fireteam Elite is an enjoyable time. With a wealth of classes, weapons, and skills, you can fight your way through hordes of Xenomorph as you attempt to uncover what Weyland-Yutani is up to. With 12 missions and an enjoyable, if repetitive, horde mode, this might
