Hudson you secure that s***T, so far as an Alien fan this game scratch that itch if you played the first one this one is an improvement more missions, and horde mode, plenty of weapons and abilities, classes that evolve and improve from the first game and a new class make your own custom marine to use, weapons Augments could do with a rework alot of them are not great to use alot of negative stats to trade off for one positive which make it not worth using the game Aesthetics and Art is really capture the Alien vibe, new enemies added are great too.
now with the story however the weird dialog and npc debriefing and random talking is really bad they supposed to be the state of the Badass ART in this they like rainbow people Ko, raptor and Piper how these jokers got into the colonial marines is beyond me let alone survived an infestation lol, with the in game interactions and the amount of repeated dialog yes looking At you sharps stick get real annoying if you wanted this should of added way more dialogs or an option to shut them up. However Wrench was okay i learned alot of bird facts from him so worth talking to him each time he has something new bird facts lol
Performance the game plays stable for me on a 3080Ti, Ryzen 9, 48GB ram and Nvme so i have no issues other then alot of perks and stats increase dont work unless you are hosting, and some players get stuck behind a door and a Preatorian spawn in there with them lol. if you plan to play with friends its the best and you get your moneys worth. game still runs on unreal 4 engine though. since me and few friends enjoy this together and i beaten all content on all difficult setting this game has to offer with some items still left to get but not really need it as i have the items i need and i consider the best in the game that alone will take some time to get it all. i get this game but if the price is what you worried then go for it on sale either way you have alot of fun with it and drop alot of hours into it. See you on the Ready Line Marines
