Analog Addiction writes, "So. SEGA could not help itself. After the critical mediocrity of 2013′s Aliens: Colonial Marines, SEGA felt it necessary to publish another game set in the Alien universe. According to VGChartz, SEGA’s disappointing shooter – at the time of writing – has managed to sell 1.11 million units across all three platforms (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC). Whether this total is seen as a success or not is up to the company’s Board. Nevertheless, why would SEGA want to pump out another game set in the Alien franchise in such a short period of time since the last one, which disappointed many anticipating consumers. It is quite simple really: This is not the same team who made Aliens: Colonial Marines. The gameplay is reminiscent of a different genre and we have already seen the main concept of Alien: Isolation work successfully."
If you've got an Alien itch you can't quite scratch until Alien: Rolumus releases, GameSpew has rounded up the best Alien games to tide you over.
Fans (myself included) are clamouring for a direct sequel to this fantastic game and hope for an Alien: Isolation 2. But will this great game ever get another instalment?
Also included are Alien: Isolation, Dead Island Definitive Edition, Outlast 2, and more.
Good month imo. I'll play Gotham Knights and House of Ashes. I'm finishing up Disco E on Steam right now - that's a superb game.
There's no way I would count this game out. It looks like it's just what the doctor ordered.
Sorry but after Alien vs Predator and Aliens CM, two different studios but both published by SEGA, I think people have the right to be sceptical.
Hell Gearbox made out like Aliens CM was the Alien game we were waiting for and you want to know something they actually fooled the majority of us...until it came to the reviews.
Journalists praised Aliens vs Predator and Aliens CM in previews, so I think I'll wait until it's released before I decide if it's worth buying or not.
Well seeing as we've seen little actual gameplay, I can't make my judgement one way or another.
As long as its under Sega it is gonna suck.
please stop comparing this to Colonial Marines! Gearbox has NOTHING to do with this... that's like saying "I'm not sure about MGS V because Revengeance wasn't that great"
