EDIT: Ladies, Gentlemen, Otherly Decideds, it seems we have an Alien: Colonial Marines Typo Situation again. If you go into the base game directory and shunt two files "dstorage.dll" and "dstoragecore.dll" into a new folder, a lot of the game's most serious issues that I've reported oddly.... go away. I hope the porting team at Nixxes implements a better, more permanent solution, but I'm delighted to be able to get to work on a more FUN version of this review in time.


Hold off on buying until they get a couple of stabilization patches out because holy hell. To say this is "rough" is an understatement. Lighting doesn't load in some cutscenes, those same scenes run at seconds-per-frame, audio desync issues up the wazoo, freezing, stuttering, and just about every other performance issue I can think of.

I'm gonna get a refund for now because frankly, there's other stuff I could use $70 for right now.
