    I should also point out that the game is persistent across the map too. The doors you weld shut, holes you blow in the walls, crates you pick up are also permanent. Meaning that the next time you return to that location, the doors remain welded shut, the holes remain, and the crates are no longer there as they do not respawn.
    Also, the game actually gives you a huge incentive to go the stealth route. As getting detected means more aliens will be headed your way, and their overall presence will also increase, making it harder for you the next time you return to that area.

    It's a great game, love the management process of these RTS games when chilling, then out bug hunting to see if your plan sinks or swims. All wrapped in a lovingly recreated Alien Universe. The soundtrack and the soundscape is the biggest and best thing of the game whenever you're standing toe to toe, or forced to retreat low on ammo and a marine slung over the shoulder. The devs have done a brilliant job. My only gripe is the particular save game mechanics. You can't just drop the game when you want, either force through the mission to a natural save point via the story, or forced to use your limited toolbits to weld up a saferoom and action a save game rest.

      Also to do everything and find everything to complete the whole map
      Maybe there’s a gameplay time between 20 and 30 hours or maybe more
      I mean, I am playing right now in hard mode so I think maybe I need a little bit longer
      But how often I can go back to the first map or the second
      They are 12 missions so I think 12 Maps
      And I hope the Maps are back all the 12 missions or 12 maps maybe 🤔

    The only complaint I have about this game is some of the repeated dialogue lines, "Game Over Man, Game Over!" Considering we heard Hudson quote that in the Aliens movie word for word, and now I hear other soldiers quoting it verbatim, I can only conclude that the Colonial Marines handbook has a set of preapproved phrases soldiers are allowed to say under duress! Thats the only thing that makes sense considering none of these marines would have been around to hear Hudson voice that exact line. Okay, all joking aside, I know they did that for fan service, but its really cringy. Other than that, this game is awesome.

AvP 2 had some soul in it, but thinking about it 20 years after, it doesn't click for me anymore.

I found I got more info from other reviews and the footage you provided was lacking. Not sure why you chose to show all footage with the furthest possible camera views. I believe there is a zoom in feature in the game to get better close ups. At least, I saw it on other reviews. Would have been nice to see some of those clips to get the more "immersive" view.

    Ok, you've convinced me. I don't like ARPG's but this is significantly different. There is actually a precedent of sorts, which is the UFO: Aftermath series. That was significantly different, there was an action point system combined with the real time action, but the overall result seems similar. I liked those games (although they are dated ands have some issues) and have been keeping an eye out for something in that line, and this might well fill the niche.

    I'm really interested but also intimidated by this one. I played a little bit of Darkest Dungeon and I was really bad at it and gave up when my first squad died. But I've been loving Fireteam Elte and the chance to spend a little more time in that aesthetic world really speaks to me. I'm gonna give it a shot.

      It’s not a super extensive customization experience but it’s pretty cool that there are a decent amount of options to customize your soldiers. You can change names and add nicknames, and when you get different classes, they have their own customization options.

    How long did it take you to complete the game? Given that you mentioned missions are linear and not procedural I'm curious about how long it takes to finish a playthrough.

    • @LegacyGamingUS

      It’s gonna be about 20-30 hours because of the difficulty and how many times you could extract and renter missions. It’s flexible all things considered

    I’m enjoying the game so far, but I wish it was more like XCOM with turn base strategy. My biggest complaint is I can’t individually move the Marines during battle so it’s a set mess. I did find out to pick up centuries in other parts of the map, you can send Marines out, which is funny to watch them.

    I had seen so many reviews talking about two things it fits the entire vibe, looks and authenticity of this universe.
    And the basic overview that you'd get from the website or something.
    Things like amputations and artificial limbs. The ways to speed run healing, and training.
    The way the hunt system, the way you explained aliens can grab the marine.
    The way you explained how the soliders are controlled and more. When there's no Twitter. Or any real marketing team. That means us fans have to sell it...
    And if i had heard another review like "game is scary 6/10 " I'd pull my hair out.
    There is a lot going on here and so many reviewers and fans don't have any way to play it for hours.
    A lot of these elements really change and reinforce this belief of i don't like X-Com and games like it. But I adore the Aliens Universe.
    Therefore this was a good investment.
    I have had so many doubts for over a month now about if i did the right thing preordering, but your review is the only one i feel that actually properly sells the damn product when no one else will.
    Subbed.
