Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed: fans of the first game find a fun, familiar co-op shooter, but many judge it too buggy, thin and overpriced at full price.

Many players enjoy the core loop: tight four-player squads, a deep perk and class customisation system, improved weapon attachments and atmosphere that feels like Aliens. Some say it works well with friends and that the gunplay still feels good. The criticism is just as common. Many players report stuttering, frame drops, crashes, items that cannot be picked up, doors that lock teammates out and P2P connection problems. Some call the dialogue and voice acting cringeworthy and cannot skip it fast enough. Many feel it plays more like an expansion than a real sequel, with few new mechanics and too many familiar enemies, and some object to the price. Recent reviews are harsher on matchmaking, progression that does not carry over and the story, while the early helpful reviews were more forgiving of the bugs.

Praised

  • Squad co-op fun

    Players enjoy fighting in four-player squads with friends, with chaotic, rewarding waves.

    Many players
  • Deep class and perk builds

    Players praise the perk system, class customisation and the specialist class that mixes abilities.

    Many players
  • Familiar, satisfying gunplay

    Reviewers say the weapons feel good and attachments and augments offer real customisation.

    Some players
  • Alien atmosphere

    Players say the industrial settings, sound and enemy presence capture the feel of Aliens.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Performance and stuttering

    Players report stutters, frame drops and crashes, especially at loading and doorways.

    Many players
  • Bugs that block progress

    Players describe doors locking teammates out, missions not loading and items that cannot be picked up.

    Many players
  • Dialogue and voice acting

    Players find the writing, voice acting and constant chatter cringeworthy and hard to sit through.

    Many players
  • Price for limited content

    Players think the full price is too high for a game that feels like an expansion with few new mechanics.

    Many players
Who it suits
Players who loved the first game and want more of the same squad co-op with deeper builds, ideally with friends and at a sale price.
Who should skip it
Players who want a clear step forward, a polished launch or strong writing should wait for patches and a discount, or skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours are more forgiving of the build depth but more frustrated by the late-game grind and the lack of progression carried between matches.
