For a sci-fi adventure that promises aliens, multiple endings, RPG elements, combat and space exploration, 2024: Aliens Are Coming feels more like a prototype than a game. There are no Steam achievements or Trading Cards, despite plenty of obvious milestones that could have been added, and the current version contains only three levels. The developer originally planned a huge amount of additional content, including more story episodes, stealth, companions, personal and space combat, but development appears to have stalled long ago. The basic concept is interesting, but after waiting this long, it is difficult to recommend an Early Access game that still feels this incomplete.

Another level shifts into motorcycle racing, requiring the player to navigate traffic while attempting to k…
