It may still be fun for players just looking to play another coop shooter with a different theme. How about a new kind of scanner that is unwieldy but has to be very methodically used to locate hidden aliens in corridors (or undetected aliens will ambush), and having to use this scanner with extra probes in larger rooms to stay away from hidden aliens until a kill zone is closed off and set up because otherwise the odds are terrible.īasically, anything but another generic coop shooter with the dreaded alien zoo in it. And rather than invent a dozen alien variations, invent new anti-alien devices that marines need to use. I wish they'd mix **** and Alien: Isolation instead. Sprinkle with XP system and unlockable items.
Can't keep doing this for 10 maps straight, so the alien zoo comes back: armored aliens, spitting aliens, runner aliens, exploding aliens. Step 2: now tons of dumb, weak aliens are beelining towards players making loud screeching noises. Step 1: having aliens that actually sneak, hide and ambush you is ruled out as either too technically challenging, too frustrating for players or not following the mainstream recipe and thus too risky.
This Alien franchise game once again follows the usual recipe and repeats the same mistakes:
