Absolutely, without question, best RTS around in my opinion, very strategic, great sound design, good graphics, I can't stop enjoying it.

Anton Yudintsev (CEO, Russian) is using this game (he pays taxes in Russia) to fund Russian military that kills innocents in Ukraine.

Bungie should vault themselves.

Some reviewers hated this game, but this is the best Aliens game released in a while. I love re-playing it, yes, there aren't many maps but you're not supposed to play this game for hours on end, play a map or two and take a break! It's ideal for that.

Pros:
-Huuuuuuge variety of weapons. For an Aliens game that is. Superb loot.
-Sound design. Some people will HATE that the weapons sound is ripped directly from the movies. Personally I love it, shotgun sounds clearly show that developers were capable of making meaty good sounds, but either had to or chose to go with the original pulse rifle sound. In my opinion, that was a good decision.
-Difficulty. This game is quite difficult after unlocking all difficulties, you have to min-max your loadout. It adds to replayability.
-Enemy variety. Let's be honest what did you expect of enemy variety in a game based on Alien's franchise? No spoilers, I'll just say you will be positively suprised.
-Challenge card system. This is quite interesting, it can terribly affect how you will play the map, conserve ammo or even affect the spawnrates of enemies, additional loot etc. Very fun addition.
-B-story. Story is very simple, clearly budget cuts were made on it, but it's good enough. I do enjoy the banther and to be honest characters do speak like they're from aliens universe, that's all I needed. Who knows, maybe in the future they'll be allowed to expand the story?

Cons:
-Map variety. It's just not great. For a start yes it's good and they're expertly crafted! I love them personally but I just want more, even as DLC.
-Arena style gameplay. It's very typical for all maps, sometimes the objective is a bit different but for the most part it's the same: go to room, kill waves, go to next room, do the same. There could be some more variety, but then again it's a shooter. For example, there could be sitiations where your fireteam is overwhemled by aliens because one person specifically has to cut the door through, while teammates cover you. That would add tension, sadly it's not here really.
-Bulletsponges at higher difficulty. Guess I am complaning game is too hard, or I haven't properly equipped myself for it, but on higher difficulties enemies are horrible bulletsponges, especially the special aliens. You also get less max ammo so the effect doubles, so its sometimes really hard to push through.
-Bot AI. It's awful, Gets in your way, bad target prioritization. In general the AI bots suck. Instead of nerfing them on higher diffs, you should buff them. I understand it's meant to be played with people online, but why gatekeep your playerbase who has enough of MP games for a day?

I love this game, but like I said, you have to play it sporadically. I play it 1-2 times every day, do the dalies maybe a fun mission, grind something out and done. I am never disappointed. It's a must have for aliens fans. I really hope they'll make some good DLC maps and in general do more with the game, the developers clearly 100% have the capability to make a great game, but the budget did not allow them to.

This game is a blast every time.

Works well on Windows 10!

Revolutionary game for me, I love these types of games, kind of like dwarf fortress with less micromanagement. Very Fun!

Law of physics is an undeniable fact, until proven wrong. All scientific data, theories and rules are there simply because they could not be proven wrong. But what I've always been taught, we learn facts, that that we accept as rules, theories and laws because they couldn't be proven wrong with our technology or understanding at the time. One of my professors always said to keep an open mind and treat everything as a theory, where behind each law lies a secret remaining to be discovered and change our perspective. He taught me that everything in the universe in a way, has an exception from its normal occurrence. No Man's Sky is one of these exceptions.

Hello Games had some trouble before the release and a ton of the game was supposedly lost due to a flood. While Sean Murray did speak things that were not true upon the release, it took them years to fix the game and I am very happy to be an somewhat early buyer of NMS. I've participated in the process of updating the game from early, undeniably bad stages, up to what game it is right now.

And right now this is the best space exploration game there is available. It's casual, but extremely beautiful, it's set on exploration of unique (randomly generated) worlds and searching for upgrades for your weapons, suits or ships. There is story in the game, however I just lose myself in exploring worlds, over and over. Now the game runs pretty well and there are no issues that I've found so far. Moreover the game supports mods - which can do pretty much anything such as making you walk faster, change parameters of jetpacks etc. So you can just change your game to whatever you'd like it to be - even add spaceships!

Trying to explain the gameplay would seem boring in words and even in gameplay, but the thrill you get from entering the atmosphere of a new world or to pursue the next thing is not easy to convey. If you're a fan of casual space exploration and progress, like to see vistas or explore caves - this game is for you!

I've tried many survival games, but this is the best one by far. You can build bases in the mountains, travel to different systems and most importantly you can make prefabs.

I simply enjoy making ships and generally exploring the planets. There are also factions that you can interact with and in space you can get jumped by basically space pirates or see what's wrong with "abandoned" stations... Very fun!

Very unbalanced, Germany gets very cheap very powerful vehicles, for example, flamethrower halftrack that you can spawn early. Your AT units will get killed before they get a chance to shoot. So you spawn a tank, and suddenly all units get AT bazookas in less than a second.

This game is unplayable against standard AI.

Very fun to finally be able to use a muzzleloader with great ammo ranging from a boar to a moose! You can easily kill even a bison with it, although minie ball is not rated for them for some reason.

M1 Garand is quite a powerful rifle with a very high recoil and only 5 cartridges (for balance).

The shotgun has 3 shells and is quite expensive to shoot as it has it's own proprietary shells - brass cases. But it is very powerful and can handle almost anything in game.
