Alien Swarm

A Tearful Review from an 86-Year-Old Gamer: After Playing Alien Swarm, My Body, Mind, and Every Organ Are Different Intro Hello, young gamers. I am 86 years old. On the day my pension came in, my grandson added some money to my Steam account and said, “Grandpa, play this. It’ll prevent dementia.” Well, the dementia is definitely gone now—because I don’t have a brain left to get dementia. The aliens ate it. 1. Physical Changes 1. Hands I used to shake. Parkinson’s-level shaking. I could pick up a peanut with chopsticks and my hand would blur like a hummingbird. After Alien Swarm, my hands don’t shake anymore. Now I can headshot six aliens in a row while calmly telling my team, “Bugs on the left, throw a fire grenade.” But there’s a problem: now when I pick up a peanut with chopsticks, I instinctively hit R to reload.

Alien Swarm is actually quite a fun game, even if it's rather short and lacking in content (it only recieved 1 content update and 1 bugfix update).

Fun to play, I personally recommend playing with others but if you want the hat trick achievement for the parasite hat you can add bots with console commands to get the achievement with ai.

Fun to play as a party

its really good i wish there was more

good
