Aliens: Fireteam Elite

What it’s like

Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a relentless, co-op focused third-person shooter that prioritizes high-octane action over atmospheric dread. Set in the Alien universe, it channels the spirit of Cameron’s military sci-fi rather than the survival horror of the original film. Players form a fireteam to tackle waves of Xenomorphs and other hostile fauna across linear, mission-based levels. The core loop revolves around character progression: unlocking perks, weapons, and classes to build specialized loadouts that handle increasingly difficult enemy compositions. While the narrative serves primarily as a backdrop for the action, the game excels in delivering satisfying combat encounters and strong audio design that captures the franchise's iconic soundscape. It is best experienced with friends, offering a chaotic, adrenaline-fueled experience where teamwork and weapon management are key to surviving the overwhelming odds.
