As a die-hard fan of the Alien franchise, and Aliens being my all-time favorite movie, this game is very well done. It has all the feel of a proper Aliens shooter game, but the xenomorphs are actually scary (even the base-level drones) and not just bullet sponges. A mix of a stealth survival horror and RTS, this game feels like a fresh revival of the Alien franchise! I would put it right up there with Alien: Isolation and Aliens Fire Team!
Personal Rating: 9/10

In my opinion, Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a solidly good game. The creators clearly love the Alien franchise as much as the fans do (Aliens is my all-time favorite movie) and paid extremely close attention to details. They had the forethought and care to model much of the space station after the look and feel of the one from Alien Isolation. They wrote excellent pieces of intel for the lore aspects of the game that expand upon the movie and game franchises equally well.
Is the game perfect? No, of course not. The gameplay is very repetitive and can be extremely frustrating (especially when playing solo).
That being said, in my personal opinion, I think this game does the best job at handling the xenomorphs themselves than any other alien game. Even the xenomorph in Alien: Isolation (while one of the best alien games ever, in my opinion) still had some weird proportions (it's a nitpick, but I thought his tail was way too long, that's pretty much it). In Aliens: Fireteam Elite, the runners are fast and agile, the drones are stealthy and strong, the warriors are even stronger and the Praetorians are freakin' trucks. All xenomorph morphs (runners, drones, warriors etc) are extremely lore-accurate and they even include some new morphs that add new flavors to the franchise. And the mechanics themselves are good overall.
So for me, I thoroughly enjoy it and think this game is a solid addition to the overall Alien franchise.

This is, hands down, one of the best games I have ever played. Being a massive fan of the Alien franchise, this game delivers one of the greatest experiences one can have within this universe. This game is terrifying and stunningly gorgeous all at the same time. The only critique I could possibly think of for this game, is that the game play does get somewhat repetitive. But, other than that, in my mind, this game is close to the "perfect organism".

Very enjoyable park builder game! It expands on the first Jurassic World Evolution game by adding new maps, new story and new dino (and reptile) species. It's no Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis, but still very fun with enough customization to allow for multiple unique play throughs!
Personal score: 8/10

Carrion is so much fun. It is a nice deviation from the classic survival horror game where you actually play as the monster or villain rather than some poor helpless human. It does an excellent job hearkening back to other classic cosmic horror titles such as Alien, The Thing and Predator. The 8-bit graphic style just further proves the fact that games don't have to be in ultra HD and real-life graphics to be good.
Personal Score: 8/10

This game is a blast. As a huge fan of classic sci-fi's like the Alien franchise, Contact, 2001 & 2010, this game feels as though you exist in a similar universe. Fantastic graphics with a fairly straight forward interface, this game has a lot of replay-ability potential, but does often suffer from feeling like a grind. Still recommended!

As someone who played Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis, this is a great updated version with new graphics and including the new movies. User friendly game mechanics with just enough customization to be able to make your own unique park! Really enjoy this game!

Early Access Review
This game is in its alpha stages. Its goal is uniquely admirable among other games of its kind: to show the most scientifically accurate simulation of the Hell Creek Formation in the Late Cretaceous period. Because of this, I love this game. I admit, that I would like to have seen them make much more progress as of now, but the developers are clearly doing everything to the best of their ability and works of this nature and feat cannot and should not be rushed.

Simple, yet elegant and so much fun! Starbound impresses as an ever expanding universe with so many potential possibilities to explore. Thoroughly enjoyable, though at times, can feel like a slog.
