I recommend: Aliens - Fireteam Elite

Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a budget shooter that spends every dollar exactly where it needs to be spent. The result is one of the better Aliens games ever released, and a surprisingly worthwhile coop shooter to boot. Some technical and design issues aside - this is a very solid pick up, especially at the price point. I recommend it.

Thanks to Focus Home Interactive for the review code

I love how Colonial Marines came out over 8 years ago and people are still worried every new Alien game will end up misleading people.

[gilded_lady]

There is something to be said for small games that know what they are and just want to do what it does the best that it can. Not everything has to be revolutionary.

[thedevilhimself]

Hey - I'm a designer on the game! Thank you so much for recommending it! Glad you enjoyed it! We'll be sure to take your criticisms and feedback onboard!

[nonfickshun]

Can I just say that I really appreciate the "I recommend"/"I do not recommend" in the title of your reviews?

[TheRama]

I really appreciate the details and how it goes along the style of the movies.

Specially Alpha and Beta, the fact that they made two unique synths to play as your offline teammates and how the marines wrote stuff on their armor like "Tinman" and crossed out "Artificial Person" with "Artificial Badass"

[DaManBearPig]

I hope this helps spur the gaming industry into the realization that we're so overdue for a modern well fleshed out AvP asymmetric multiplayer game. I still remember the AvP2 from the 2000s. Running around as a 25ft tall queen and slicing marines in half was amazing and such a power trip.

[sab]

Can't wait to hear Austin Wintory's soundtrack for this game. From what I heard so far it's god damn amazing.

[TalentedTacoTrex]

I'm so happy you're covering this game, I love aliens and it was barely getting any coverage or hype. I may pick it up now.

[imtoddhowardandimadeskyrim]

It's really cool how we've been getting more James Cameron movie games recently with terminator resistance and this and that new avatar game. Can't wait for the Titanic video game.

"...try and make some friends."

*LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE*

[waldiriath]

Such a good review. This is a gold standard for reviewing a game. Congrats Skill Up, it only shows how independent you are. Cold Iron is a small developer and they deserve a shot. I’ll definitely going to buy.

[codyreece]

As a die hard alien fan. I'm glad we finally have another good title since alien isolation.

[sjent]

So, its basically like Terminator: Resistance. Low budget and faithful to the source material, without trying to invent a wheel, but somehow superior to anything that all those AAA studios have been pumping out.
And with reasonable price tag as well. No 100 dollar Super Mega Premium Editions, that you need to buy to get a full game.

[XxWolfxWaRioRxX]

I have a funny feeling that the huge difference in this and ACG's review has something to do with playing solo and with friends, these games only work with friends IMO and aren't worth it on your own

[BobSaysWhat]

After Predator game, i had very low expectation for this game, and didnt think Skill up would recommend it. nice!

[AtmS]

I'm always glad to see any game based on the Alien IP doing good because it gives me hope that a sequel to Isolation is still possible, even if done by a different studio.

[jacobnordquist]

You have no idea how much I wanted to see this video.

It sounded fun but the concern was real. Thank you!

[autex]

Finally got this.. and I'm loving it. It's refreshing in how "unambitious" it really is. Tons of aliens - check. Cool environments - check. My favorite co-op game in a long long time. It actually brings me back to the 90s beat em ups in the arcades in a way. A really great time.

[discipleofdeath]

This looks like a good addition to my other similar games, such as deep rock and vermintide

[PorcuDuckSlug]

Not every game needs to be a 9.5 out of 10 and I think this game is the embodiment of that
