A very poor man's Ratchet & Clank. If you have the money to buy it on sale, don't.

Anybody that would rate Aliens: Fireteam Elite anything higher than a solid 6/10 obviously hasn't finished the campaign.

One of the most disappointing endings in the history of video game story telling, built on top of a bang average co-op shooter with just one Horde Mode map at launch.

+ The complete Alien experience - enemies, environments and sound.
+ Interesting skill-tree system - an innovative upgrade mechanic with plenty of substance.
+ Ticks most of the boxes for a modern co-op shooter - but offers very little depth elsewhere.

- Completely linear campaign and level design.
- Extremely repetitive combat experience - each battle feels the same. Hold a standard point-of-contact with three channels of approach.
- Only one Horde Mode map at launch.
- Terrible, terrible ending.

My wife left me, but at least I'll always have Divinity: Original Sin 2!

What's not to love about Metal Slug? But $5 for 6 short missions is criminal.

Must Buy

+ Mind-blowing storyline and narrative - think HBO's Westworld, in space.
+ Meaningful and difficult decision-making.
+ Interesting enemy types.
+ Innovative and clever user-interface design - particulary when cycling through weapons.
+ Deep exploration - so many different ways to play the game.
+ Plenty of game-time - It took 20+ hours to complete the campaign, and side quests, on the hardest difficulty.
+ Incredible soundtrack.

- Simplistic crafting system.
- Tedious loading times.
