Aliens: Dark Descent

This game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rocks. Best Alien game since Isolation.

If I would’ve finished the game I would’ve recommend it, but game breaking bugs are still present. I encountered one in the mission to “Steal the Montero's Gas Mixing Chip“ (as the main objective). But the object I needed to interact with never triggered (never became active) which meant that I simply cannot continue in the story. Restarting the mission (meaning pulling my squad out and redeploy another day) 2-3 times didn’t worked, and because I restarted so many times I filled up the limited save slots, and btw, it has an auto-save system and a certain number of slots, so you barely have any control over it. But what this means for me, well, I am screwed, gotta start a new game… Personally for a game released 3+ years ago, I cannot accept game breaking bugs, the only acceptable stage for these bugs is for games in early access. And this is not unknown, I found posts regarding this very issue from years back, and still is around. What this tells me is that the devs just abandoned this game in unfinished state, might not be true but this is the impression it gives. Anyway, I cannot recommend it especially since I was 60%+ in the game already. And to add insult to injury, the game …

very good game

Me Starting Dark Descent: "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Gorman, he had no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ idea what he was doing and he killed everyone." Me Finishing Dark Descent: "They were all ♥♥♥♥♥♥ regardless"

There are entirely too many game breaking bugs to recommend this game. It's unacceptable and if there is a god I pray that he ensures this studio never makes another game. Not one single game breaking bug has been fixed since this game launched. I doubt anything has ever been touched aside from them adding that one singular cosmetic pack. I have reloaded so many saves, repeatedly to circumvent the game ruining bugs that it's just not worth it. Please save yourself, even free is too much. Don't play this game. I am only beating it because I paid money for it, if I could still refund this garbage I would. These developers deserve 0 love.

I still have no idea what the phrase "this gun's a freakin' lawnmower" means
