Fun game. No microtransactions. Some clunky controls and some bugs, but the game itself is enjoyable and entertaining. I have to agree with other reviewers, out of all the Aliens games out there, this one best captures the vibe of the second Aliens movie. With the same witty banter, atmosphere and the music from the film. The game mechanics are fun and keep you engaged all the time. The use of fog of war, different types of tools, weapons, and the ability to play the game at your own pace make this game unique. With the pace you set yourself, the game difficulty adapts and can be punishing if you think you can just breeze through. It has elements from souls like in that sense, since you learn from dying how to encounter the level on subsequent retries. Lots of interesting gameplay design choices in this game that keeps things interesting throughout the campaign.

Finally, something that lives up to the original trilogy.
