Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2

Game causes cpu to rise to max temp slowly over time and then crash. cant even play

Do I like the game...yes, visually the game looks good, aside of the characters.... Do I like the gameplay...also yes, alot of customization on how you want to play Do I like the story...no and that goes with the characters you meet Aliens FTE2 takes a step forward but stumbles on doing so. The story is generic and boring being Evil Corp up to no good again. The characters are reddit level cringe lords with their dialogue and how they act, not to mention how awful the lip sync is in this, feels like a skin walker is using their skin to talk with how wide and open their mouths are. Everyone is just eerie to look at.... Now with that being said, the combat and customization are great leaps forward, It was good in the last game so its good to see they improved it. Level design is on point for the franchise and i still get the sinking feeling when walking into an area and see drips coming from the ceiling. I saw some people review that its has bad graphics too, but i fail to see any faults at least with what I'm running, game looks great and haven't ran into much bugs(pun intended) nothing game breaking at least. Would i recommend? eh? Well if you like to go shoot up some bugs with a bunch of friends then yes, its a must. If you are wanting to buy solo, just wait for a sale. *WARNING I know this will trigger a part of the community but i don't care, free speech is free speech.* *Now this is just a side tangent does not effect how i play the game just something i saw within the first few hours... i know the alien franchise has girl marines and plenty of em as badasses but why staff like only 2 males and having 6 girls running most of the show? I can see western modernism has hit the game and I'm sad for it and wouldn't be surprised if Sweet Baby had their hands on this.*

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 is a massive mixed bag, but it goes from a frustrating 2/10 to an absolute 8/10 with one simple fix: turning the dialogue volume completely off At first, I absolutely hated this game. The character voices and constant, grating dialogue completely ruined the atmosphere and drove me crazy. It felt unplayable. Out of pure desperation, I went into the audio settings and muted the character voices. The improvement was instant and massive. Without the terrible voice acting in my ear, the actual gameplay loop shines. The gunplay is tight, the atmosphere finally feels like a tense Aliens experience, and the cooperative pacing feels incredibly rewarding. If you are struggling to enjoy this game, do yourself a favor and hit mute. It changes the entire experience for the better.

Macht schon Spaß, Gameplayloop vorhanden aber die Perfomance ist mies Schlecht mit Laptop und Highend Pc gleiche massive Microruckler die den Framegraphen massiv beeinflussen was richtig nervt.... Solange ich kein fix dafür gefunden habe oder das Spiel gepatch ist gibt es ne negativ Bewertung.

There's a good game here underneath the bugs somewhere but the bugs are frequently game breaking. Missions get stuck and won't progress, players fall outside of the map boundary, frequent crashing, really bad stuttering on Windows. As a side note, I did try playing the game on steam os and cachy os and the performance was much better than on windows. The stuttering wasn't nearly as bad and the crashing wasn't as frequent. The game is fun and I will change my review when they fix the game breaking bugs that prevent mission completion.

Imagine Aliens Fireteam with with MUCH deeper gameplay yet less world building and lore. That is Fireteam Elite 2. If you enjoyed the first game, get this one. If you haven't played either, get the first one first.

If you're an Alien fan, this game is a must buy. Remember that it's a Double A title but comes with plenty of improvements from the first. The storyline is just as good from its predecessor, you actually get to fight the Queen this time, but note that the NPC voice acting/dialogue choices are awful. You will not miss anything by skipping the NPC dialogue at the main hub. They kind of treat you like a dumb grunt kid, even after you've wiped out 5,000 aliens and their queen. There's 15 missions total and 3 horde mode levels, each mission probably taking 20-45 minutes depending on your difficulty. Plenty of accessibility options for the HUD and FOV, and the shadows/lighting/animation quality looks much better in the sequel on their Unreal Engine 4.26 or whatever it is. This is not Unreal Engine 5, but still looks really damn good. A lot of players think the only cosmetic/gun/skill unlocks are in the in-game market. Not true. Each class has a level system, then your character has a separate level system. Each time you level one or the other, you're either getting a new gun or armor set, some other goodies. Solid progression rewards. A lot of the unlockables are hidden behind level unlocks, you can scope this out in the Collections section. No microtransactions (other than DLC). Everything is unlocked by playing and earning in-game creds. They've allowed custom armor decal assignment for your chest piece which can be fun. You can decorate it with funny/badass decal stamps that can be resized and manually placed. They also put in recoloring of your armor with different paints, can mix and match helmet/torso/pants. You need to play through until you get into the endgame. Once you start entering Intense difficulty and higher, you have to start relying on class diversification and taking each encounter much slower. This is where it gets insanely fun and definitely challenging. Customization is through the roof. Way more camos, emotes, armor sets, gun selection, attachments from the first. Class skill mods have expanded and they have introduced endgame skill mods/gun augments that allow you to finetune your preferred playstyle. The different level aesthetics are awesome and they have included the Pathogen aliens in the base game instead of requiring DLC from the first game. Sure, a bit clunky with some light bugs on launch, that'll be tidied up in the near future. This is a classic horror horde shooter and will eat hundreds of hours of playtime. Like I said, if you're an Alien fan, you'll have a blast regardless of any negative feedback you see scrolling through the reviews.
