A fairly fun 3rd-person shooter set in the iconic Aliens universe. Definitely a better game if you have a friend or two to play with, but it does work with bots if you want a solo experience. The campaign is extremely short, but atmospheric. If you like Aliens, then you will probably enjoy the feel of the game. One thing that I didn't like was that the aliens were extremely bullet-spongey. Hard to ramp up the difficulty of a game like this without just increasing the damage absorption, but it becomes very frustrating when you are emptying clip after clip into a boss and the health barely ticks down. I put about 25 hours into the game and was able to level up a couple of the classes, but by then I was pretty much bored with the game. I did pick up the DLC, which was fun for a couple of hours killing spree on the new alien types, but it was pretty much more of the same. If you like Aliens and 3rd-person cooperative shooters, you will probably like this game for a little while. I picked it up on sale and I feel like I got my money's worth.

Playing the sequel right now after it came out and wishing it was as good as this, the original game was. I wish they had just released more content for this game because it is far superior.

A GAME FOR THE FANS AND NO ONE ELSE I'm a big fan of the Alien franchise, and let me be the first to tell you that this game is only for huge fans of the series. You can play it without watching or enjoying any of the movies, but a lot of the stuff in this game piggybacks off of them to the point where I do not recommend doing so. If you want a game like this with more content, just play Deep Rock Galactic. If you're a fan reading this though, especially if you're big on Prometheus and Covenant, this game will be a treat for you. The game is filled with tons of little, and not so little, lore bits that you'll definitely enjoy. Though I'd still say pick it up only while it's on sale. The game becomes repetitive quickly, and there's not a lot of variety in things to do during missions. You're either moving, or you're buckling down waiting for a horde to pass. Also a lot of what this game has to offer is locked behind DLC instead of being unlockable, which would've given the player more incentive to play the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed did this right and that game sucked! My biggest complaint about the game though is the lack of tension. Because it's not the fault of the gameplay itself, it's the fault of that dumb ♥♥♥♥♥ that won't shut up over comms. "Watch out, a warrior!" No ♥♥♥♥, I heard it spawn in because it makes a loud scream, that and it's literally colored differently than every other Xeno on the motion tracker! It's like if one of those, "If ____ was a AAA game from 2016," memes were an actual game. Funniest thing too, later on in the game I really wanted to focus on what was being said due to it tying back into Prometheus, and of course when you get pounced the comms become quieter making it harder to hear. Oh yeah, grabs... Along with being an Alien fan, I'm a huge Dark Souls fan. I'm telling you this because it's not a skill issue, THE DODGE JUST ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SUCKS. Dodging is a complete dice roll, sometimes you dodge a drone's pounce, other times it just locks on to you and you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥. I bet it's even worse in the multiplayer. Overall, Fireteam Elite was a game made for fans. It's enjoyable as a little experience, but lacks a lot of meat to keep you coming back for more.

Great gam, but please make the xeno queen more intimidating, since shes only in 1 mission and it feels like wasted potential.
