Should i buy

[Ghostrider]

On fence whether to get this, im a casual player. I heard there's still game breaking bugs and AI is overtuned making the game unfair

Play on Story Mode Difficulty and you should be fine.

i played through it several times and got all achievements, didn't encounter any issues

[Raider Deci]

Go for it. I just it bought but for unknown reason decided to play on nightmare in a first run. Not the best move but eh. The atmosphere is great

Loving the constant tension and resource-management though, gotta be better to know when to extract and continue later

While I'm a rather "hardcore and top skilled gamer" I'd say the game shouldn't be too hard for more average gamer if you don't go above medium. Recently started it, I went on medium to see how the game plays and it's fun. There's tension and stuff but you can kill most stuff by positioning your squad properly, setting up a turret and supressing fire. The game doesn't require any mad skills from you. Just a little bit of logical thinking. It not micro heavy as your squad moves as one, also you can pause at any time if you set it in options.
For the sale price it's defo worth it. Game's fun, setting and atmosphere is great.

Get it. It's the best the franchise has to offer strategy fans. I mean, it's been a long wait since Extinction.

Why would they make it single player?

[Narrowmind]

Because some people get tired of team killers, or grifters, needing to rely on randoms to enjoy their game. They want a hand crafted, single player experience that they can lose themselves in.

What is wrong with an occasional, single player experience? It's like asking why people should people be allowed to purchase a movie ticket by themselves. There is nothing that says you have to watch Aliens in a group. So many games are multiplayer and multiplayer games have existed since the first generation of gaming in the 70s. Let Aliens Dark Descent be different.

I would not buy it of was mp-focused, thats for sure.
The older I get the less I care for mp-games in general, vastly prefer singleplayer to play in my own pace to immerse myself in different worlds.

The devs obviously wanted to craft a campaign where players play at their own pace

wait, the fkn thing has a bug when you go to otago in the tutorial mission. once you select your soldiers upgrade the ui just freezes and you cant continue. Im seeing about a refund I played less that 8 hours

I found a work around for the bug, I put the game into windowed mode, expanded it then before choosing barracks I selected italian language option. Once I selected 20% more ammo option the window went away and I was able to advance. Please fix this stupid bug it's ridiculous.

I'd get it on a sale, yeah. It's a unique game that blends stuff like XCOM and Company of Heroes together. It's not a game that wows and truly captures you but what's there is fun enough to play in small intervals and keep coming back to.

[Lord Zaris Hydra]

a fun game by far, playing custom so you can disable the doom clock is recommended at least the first time and yes here and there a few bugs and crashes so id recommend on sale. but i have not regretted buying it, definitely a good homage to the series unlike say.. Firestorm

There is 0 logic behind making it multiplayer.

A: "Shoot him quietly"
A: "Hello?"
A: "Hey?!"
C: "Hey man ... Wuz up?"
A: "Do you know what the sniper is doing at the back of our vehicle?"
A: "Come here already!"
A: "Damn it, B!"
D: "Sorry guys, I have to go now. Time to eat."
A: "Really? We have only just started."
D has left the game.
C has left the game.
You will return to matchmaking in 30 seconds...

How I miss something like that. -.-
MP is obsolete because we've exchanged people like that for competence.
