    This is a def a solid title. I haven't played much so far, but i can say that I am certainly enjoying it. One thing that I loved, as a fan of the movies and franchise as a whole, is how they really did well capturing the essence and atmosphere of the movies. Two suggestions I would make before playing the game are one, watch the movies and two play on a lower difficulty. I don't normally play on lower difficulties but this game can be overly difficult and overwhelming on the harder or even medium difficulty levels. It can also makes the game much longer than it should be because you'll probably die a zillion times. So overall pretty impressed and the best Alien franchise game I've played yet.

    While the game would benefit from a shorter runtime, it is hard to knock the unique experience and atmosphere the developers have provided for fans of the series. This is THE Alien experience.

    The graphics and atmosphere are amazing, I don't think I have seen a movies tone and aesthetics replicated so well in a video game. That being said this game is challenging and not for everyone.

    Still working on this one, you may feel a bit of nauseousness if you play for long periods of time, because your constantly turning around and checking for aliens or robots sneaking up behind you. Interesting save feature, you have to find a computer terminal to save your game play....save often. GO SLOW AND NOTE YOUR SURROUNDINGS. I'm currently lost and have to figure my way out to the next level. Good Challenges and mini games! Can't wait to get the virtual reality headset and play this one!!!!

    This is a well made shooter that is visually on par with anything released thus far this generation. Good variety in the jump scares and sound design.

    This Aliens game is much better than the last one, Colonial Marine, and has better atmosphere to boot. Without giving away the plot, let's just say you are not alone. I didn't think my Best Buy had this in stock, but as usual they delivered, even though I had to get it used, I will be on the lookout in the future, so I can buy a new copy to support the devs.

    This game delivers a great, intense atmosphere. Never do you feel safe. Hardly ever do you feel you'll make it to the next point alive. There can be a bit of backtracking towards the end, but the gameplay didn't get stale

    If you scare easily then maybe this may not be the title for you. However, as for myself. It's been a good while that a game had made me jump when something happens. Highly recommend.

    This game is more about thrills and atmosphere than action packed horror gameplay like The Evil Within for example. Think Outlast but with more control in what you can do.

    Got tired of that other game store tried Best Buy and it was actually cheaper! Got a great deal too bad I don't like the game. Not much for stealth. Definitely going back to Best Buy for used games.
