This one kind of passed me by and I didn't even hear of it until looking at the new releases on Steam. It's out now and while I'm not picking it up at the moment, it does look rather good. Seems to be a real time XCOM type of game set 20 years after the events of Alien 3.

This was on sale recently so I did pick it up after all, there are shades of XCOM in it though it's not exactly the same type of beast.
I've only played the prologue so far but it does an excellent job of capturing the atmosphere of the films, even the music is bang on target.

Yeah, but unlike xcom it is extremely unforgiving. In Xcom you've got your preset number of enemies on the map but this one... Is near endless waves if you're detected and don't manage to hide somewhere. It also has some d&d mechanics like resting.
But it really does pull you into the Aliens universe, it is very faithful to the film.

A simply amazing game, completed it a couple of weeks ago and by gosh is it good! I love the mix of XCOM elements and the integration with the theme is incredible.
It is relentless, but stealth is possible and key to survival! Whilst this does add difficulty, I think the whole point is to add severe challenge, the amount of times I yelled in frustration as the aliens can also be a little unpredictable (until you figure out the paths they take). Would highly recommend for anyone who is a fan of Aliens and/or XCOM.
I personally have an irrational fear of the Xenomorphs from this franchise and this just added to the tension the game exudes, all be it with the occasional nightmare... ![Tongue Out Tongue Out](./images/smilies/tongue_3.png)
Incredible fun though and am now working on my second playthrough on the hardest difficulty (god help me)

I picked up the game on Steam when it was on sale. I finished the campaign not too long ago. It can be tense at times avoiding detection from aliens that are patrolling or dormant and I find it satisfying to eliminate them quietly with silenced sniper shots without being detected. It's even possible to eliminate them with grenade launchers before they can detect your squad.
The only thing that feels missing is being able to play the game after the campaign is finished, something like a sandbox mode, but restarting the campaign with the knowledge gained the first time and trying for a better playthrough is kind of like a challenge.
