Yes, great game

Holy cow.. I'm actually kind of surprised this game is so highly rated.

TL:DR For me, this game got stale QUICK.

First of all, this isn't like a "select a situation and go freely" type of PvE game. You select a certain mission, you start at one area, you meander on foot to the end following a waypoint, done. Also, if playing with friends you HAVE to unlock the previous mission to progress. If your one buddy gets off after the second mission, next time you play with him you have to start on the third one. There's health and ammo at specific checkpoints along the way, and you're basically moving toward a waypoint on your UI (which sometimes bugs out). To break up the monotony though the game will sometimes make you stop and defend an area. Your limited at 3 people, the AI teammates are horrible, and the network connection to your friends can just drop out randomly (probably happened about 4 times in ~8 hours of gameplay).

I love PvE games, helldivers is amazing, deep rock galactic is fun, firefight mode in Halo has more variability than this game. I wanted to like it, but around 2 hours in, walking down another hall that looked like the last 500 halls I've walked down I realized I was bored. Then every succeeding time I've played it I can honestly say that if it wasn't one of like four games that supports cross play between Xbox, PS5, and PC, I would never come back.

I'll be perfectly frank, I've seen a few alien movies but never adored the lore. Therefore, when the game tries to feed me the story by forcing me to talk to people around the ship I completely skipped all the dialogue. I wasn't entertained by the gameplay at that point so I thought if they don't even have the desire to integrate much of the story into the gameplay I wasn't going to bore myself more by clicking through walls of text to learn more from Private First Class Deck Sweeper Jr. and his 8 other exposition vomiting compadres.

You can customize and upgrade your loadout, emotes, skills, and even cosmetics. But somehow these customizations still felt more shallow than a petri dish. There were some of these upgrades that did change the game up a little bit but overall the gameplay loop remained stagnant. Also the classes feel redundant since you'll mostly be diving around, doing a 180, shooting, then running away for the hard parts, then just running down halls toward a waypoint for the MAJORITY of the mission. They try to encourage teamwork and strategy; making chokepoints and using abilities to defend an area. But again, all your abilities will likely be destroyed in the first few moments and you'll, again, be resorting to just diving around the claustrophobic arenas.

The movement also.. feels... off. Not bad per say, just not fluid. The basic xenomorph enemies just pounce at you and can lock your character in place and before you realize you're nearly dead. This is another factor that makes difficulty hard to explain. It's not good when I'm nearly falling asleep for 95% of the mission only to be frantically diving around the map for the last 5%. And that last 5% when you're defending some point is the worst part. You're confined to a room with a janky movement system where you can accidentally dive into an object and get stuck on the enemy models. It just feels awful to lose a mission in the last 30 seconds because this games idea of a challenge is to throw 4 nearly invincible Praetorians at you while 30 little Xeno's maul your feet.

They add an enemy that shoots back at you a few hours in (to actually make use of the practically worthless cover system) and yet the all the enemies feel unbelievably stale almost immediately.

The guns don't feel satisfying to use, that or the enemies are just bullet sponges. The difficultly is hard to explain as it feels like snooze fest of shooting the same xenomorph model until the game throws a slow, dangerous, massive pool of health of a character at you that you have to dance around.

I have friends who don't like PvE games because they think they're boring, and after playing this game I can totally understand their point. It's boring until it's frantic, and at no point in playing this game have I been like, "wow what a totally fair and exciting challenge that I can't wait to do again!"

Also my friend did legitimately fall asleep playing this with us and I couldn't even blame him. Truthfully, I felt bad I had to wake him up.
