This game was a blast! I seldom play strategy games, so I found this refreshingly difficult. The story was engaging, and the gameplay always kept me on my toes. Definitely worth checking out!
Honestly, kudos to the devs. This really feels like an _Aliens_ game despite the genre shift. The mission with Hayes alone on the ship is a highlight imo. B)
I really like the direction they went with Dark Descent. The xenomorph cult seems heavily inspired by the Tyranid gene-stealer cults of Warhammer 40K... Devs definitely nailed it on the grimdark in this one -imo. 👍👍
@@Placentad AVP: Extinction was a real gem. I had it for the PS2 when I was a kid. Played every Alien campaign mission 3 times over. Had some pretty cool Xenomorph variants that haven't appeared in any other property since.
At first I thought it was weird how they don't use the more advanced WY synthetics then I remembered that according to alien 4 and covenant a synthetics rebellion happened at some point in the setting plus I guess it's more easier and cheaper to make and maintain the seegson synths than the Weiland-yutani ones
Unsure about this game but I didn’t like them in alien fireteam main reason I play the last mission over and over is mostly because none of them are in it
Yeah I had that same feeling also! It really looked I was seeing the NOSTROMO Cargo spaceship! Not only but in the 2nd shot looked like the SULACCO also. The first shot from ALIENS and the "second" shot from ALIENS 2. The DEVs really brought that feeling indeed. 👌👍
You know there’s something profoundly disturbing when Maeko accuses Pryce of being Synth. Regardless if she was one or not the fact the she doubted herself and actually considered it a possibility is nothing short of horrifying.
@@kathrynadkisson8964 It's actually been noted by multiple studies, when one starts going up a for-profit/corporate structure, you're going to start to notice an increase in sociopathic tendencies, in short, the way these companies are designed, actually kinda encourages one to set aside things like morality and empathy if one wishes to succeed and advance.
It's ridiculous that the fandom thinks Prometheus and Covenant are bad but this crap is good 4:40:41. If Ridley had done this, fans would have a stroke.
@@BonusEggs4Sale Covenant was horrible, Prometheus was rather decent all in all. At least you wrote something more than " nah " in your second comment. 😉
Gotta say, one of the best games in the Aliens franchise beside the old ones. And I like how they're actually competent being Marines! Kudos to the devs
This game felt like a great throwback to some of the old alien games. The refinery giving avp 3 vibes. Pioneer alien isolation vibes, dead hills acm vibes. You can tell this game was made with passion.
Yeah, but it's too bad they didn't give us any throw back to AVP2 from 2001, by far and away the best and most thrilling Aliens game to date! The others you mentioned weren't that special really. Oh and by the way, in case you didn't notice, the whole story with Cassandra was just a allegory of drug & substances abuse & addiction! Those cultists are fellow sick addicts, pimps and merchants of death from her circle and when they finally pull her out from that pod all messed up, skinny with sleepy eyes & black circles under her eyes and pale like a corpse, she looks just like a junkie and that hideous gigantic monster chasing after her, is actually the addiction hitting back hard and trying pull her back into the nightmare which she's trying to escape from. Which goes to show what happens to under-aged little girls with daddy issues who refuse to follow and obey their fathers!!!
Just noticed, even Hayes tried to correct marines that these victims were "infested" not "infected", the objective windows keep saying "infected". Seems like few developers didn't get the memo 🤣
Would have been a cool little in-joke if after Hayes says that, the objective window changes to “infested” but shortly later changes back to “infected”
Even with the stiff animation, the characters here are more fleshed out and have more characterization than anyone from Colonial Marines. My hots off to the devs.
I love how like within 5 minutes of this game we see some guy messing around on the computer then suddenly somebody else just walks up behind them looks side-to-side then knocks him out "like seriously there's nobody here guarding this guy"
At 7:20 on the camera footage one of the screams is the SCP-096 scream from SCP Containment Breech, I had to do a double take on the video to make sure I wasn't hearing things. That's absolutely brilliant.
@@digiwolx1440 hunslet thinks in three dimensions, the corporate pilot simply didn't. although I'd imagine the wey-yu pilot would have more experience realistically speaking, as most mercs already have prior experience serving in one armed force or another before going private. doesn't mean they'd be a better pilot, but it definitely means they wouldn't be easy to take on.
4:42:47 Cassandra says that there is something wrong with her, so that's a nod that she's probably carrying some new exotic xenomorph inside her that will be unleashed in the next world they're travelling to with the Otago ship for the sequel!
@@Sassy_Witch Indeed it might! Though the whole story with her was just an allegory of drug and substances abuse & addiction!

Actually I believe it has to do with the massive Xeno and that it got ahead of them. Due to her physic powers she could tell something had happened and was worried.
I haven't played the game but from I can tell this game stays true to the alien franchise vibes. It really kept the suspense and horror going. this alone would make a movie worth watching
Ngl I always wanted to do a youtube channel like yours but life hasn't been so kind when it comes to getting a computer for me lol, but out of all the gameplays videos and uploads you have been by far the most consistent Channel for content Not only you provide gameplay but you also have cutscenes AND include gameplay dialogues with it as to not miss any context
From a WY pen pusher who idolizes Pryce too backing Harper when talking to Pryce at 3:01:54 too calling her a Machine at 4:06:44 to a full kited out USCM at 4:30:11 Maeko has a great character ark.
How long has it been since we had an aliens rts game well I mean I can count the AvP one but that’s the only one I can remember. Great now I want a remaster or remake of the AvP rts games
HOLY SHIT! Those Serpents (Xenos) were in such vast numbers when crawling up that building. There had to be at least a hundred or two hundred of them. It looked like a roach infestation. That is even after three Queens have been killed no less! Also what in blazes is that monstrosity?!?
It was born from one of the giant bodies inside the underground city. Nothing says that xenomorphs don't have some sort of stasis mode they enter when they run out of food, so it's probably hundreds of thousands of years old. It also probably was only one. If they had gone deeper into the city, there is no way to tell how many other Titan xenomorphs would have been woken up, and that's without counting the queen that laid all the giant eggs.
I've heard that "Hurry up you, slugs" thing like a quadrillion times. Is there an option to turn that off in the game if I ever want to play it? Good job btw! Really like that kind of walkthroughs.
The ominous music and the way it keeps panning to the ground at the end makes me wonder.... Also Cassandra randomly grunts and says something is wrong. May have been more than a simple big thing chasing. She might be infested....
Awesome game and felt so much like Aliens. I wish the final cinematic would have been longer, because we had awesome cinematic throughout. It felt like it ended too quickly on the ship. Some dialogue would have been nice to wrap things up.
⚠️ Spoiler Alert ⚠️ You mean to tell me…that after all you could possibly do to save your marines throughout the entire campaign. They’ll still ALL DIE at the end of the last mission…in a damn cutscene!? Oh, that right there….that pushes it too far.
Damn, didn't catch those dead bodies just as it takes off...in my encounter on nightmare they survived the final assault with ease, so for me they did make it back alive. Fuck that cutscene lol
First star troopers extinction and now this. Classic sci fi movies are getting a chokehold in video games this year. Just need a good terminator game and would be a solid swee
One thing if they make another game I wish you could make synthetic but with huge change where you meet a predator who is high like if predator race you either help him and they become a permanent Allie to you or not that be mind blown
You should read the Rage War books if you haven’t. The Colonial Marines and Predators interact. It’s 3 books and each focuses once on the marines, once on the preds, then one on the xenos…
I once asked myself why Weyland-Yutani didn't just outfit these secret off the books xenomorph research facilities with a staff consisting strictly of synthetics. It'd be a much better strategy p.r wise because they wouldn't have to keep it a secret because "who cares about synthetics?" At least is the sentiment that seems very common among people in the Alien universe. They're much stronger than humans, they probably don't need sleep, they seem just as smart although they lack emotional intelligence, the xenomorphs don't even acknowledge them when present (they'd need human hosts, but wasting valuable seasoned marines would be stupid) plus they wouldn't even need that many hosts to conduct viable research which also means a smaller colony, which means the chances of a rapid spread would be much less likely and mitigation of the same would be far easier and more likely should plans go awry. But then I remembered that they needed the I.P to sell which means they'd need a captivating and rich horror plot which in turn means lots of valuable and irreplaceable people (even according to the standards of a tyrannical business executive) would have to die in very grusomely and graphic ways. Lol
I kept my entire squad alive the whole game(my main squad that I started with). I did lose a quite a few of my weaker marines when I had to sub out some of the main squad for a mission or two. And there were a few times I’d get absolutely squad wiped so technically I did lose them but then I’d just load up again so it didn’t matter
Can you imagine being in such a situation as a marine? No way in hell they pay me enough to deal with the xenomorphs. The fate of those who got dragged off by them is horrific. They either get out-right torn apart or be served as a living incubator for their larvae.
Sooo, main character is asian woman, disproportionately women in positions of competency like pilots, doctors etc, most productive dialogue NPCs are black women, all men are stuck up and self centered and most are also ugly... The Col-Marines commander is the token good guy. "The Message" is not on the nose as in most other modern games but it is unavoidable still... sad.
This is pretty cool. Why are video game cutscenes uploaded for games just released? Don’t the makers have the same copyright and blackmarket launch concerns as the movie industry? Do they view cutscenes as advertising for the game?
Honestly with how good this game was I wouldn't mind an AVP: Extinction remake. Never got to play that game but from the TH-cam videos I've seen it looks amazing. Would absolutely love a remaster/remake
The scene from Cerberus is soo fucking cool, for a moment seems to be like Battlestar Galactica Batles, and the first Alien hidde in the most important part of the ship is similar to Alien 1, when the Alien hiddes in the scape pod.
Spoiler Alert! Story was good except for the ending. Characters equal storytelling potential. So with basically every character dying right at the end; all the characters you came to like are gone for telling another story and continuing their development.
A bit of a throwback to the OLD aliens comics and stuff. The aliens had some dead space Type affect on people after a while. It’s how they made them a galactic threat on their own without humans just trying to spread them/use them.
at least this game shows that Wayland-Yutani industry's obsession with the Xenomorph hasn't changed, I mean seriously, why are those morons so damn obsessed with those monstrous aliens?
In the comics WY wants the alien for gene manipulation research because xenos can survive in vacuum of space, has an amazing defense mechanism (acid blood ect), can overpower almost anything. It's the perfect organism so it's not surprising WY would want to understand everything about them so they can develop new technologies with it and make bank.
@@jeffreyelliott713 well what WY constantly fails to understand, is that the xenos are scary smart, they can't be contained, and they can't be controlled.
@2:39:12 No Wait?! Is that vegetation on the wall right there?! That must be a first in an Aliens game as most of these partially terraformed world seem to be covered with volcanic rocks only!
While this story was entertaining, I admit, I'm not a huge fan of the "looking from above" play style. It feels like it's distancing me from the action, instead of making me see the events from beyond the shoulders of the characters, or from their own eyes, and thus, when they come across Xenomorph Queens, or (spoilers), whatever that Xenomorph type at the end was, it kind of takes away from being impressed with the size of these creatures. Sure, the looking from above game style allows you to see more of the environment, but you can also look at the environment from what points of view that I mentioned earlier, and still be very impressed. After all, Alien Isolation was a first person style game, and it was very successful at showing the players the scenery around them. Also, one last compliment that I have about the game- I hate it when you either don't have a final boss, or when you DO have a final boss, but it's poorly executed. Sadly, the "final battle" of this story is just (spoilers again) one long chase scene, where you don't even shoot at the...what do I even call this new alien variant? Xenomorph Giant? Titan? Time will tell. Still, I'm glad that, despite these flaws, the franchise keeps on adding more and more layers to its overall lore, and I'm looking forward what we will discover in the future 😊. Also, one last thing- that new armored vehicle that you pick up halfway across the story, with the rotating back double turret, and the two gattling guns in the front? If you build this in real life (or use CGI in a live action movie), paint it black, and add just a few pointy metalic parts to it, I think that it could be a great idea for a Bat-Tank for a continuation to Robert Pattinson's Batman arsenal!😊.
Dark Descent is Wild ASF, Intriguing even, It's not Alien 👽 Isolation, But it's different. Graphics are Litt🔥.., Cutscenes on point, Format could be better....Full size characters, Not some Smartphone friendly BS....But it's KOOL. New Alien 👾 game for 2023. Let's ROCK 💥💥💥
Question...where are we going to see the marines?...the marines in the preview of this game....with the Sargent locked out when the Aliens attacked, and the one marine was giving his last message before the aliens probably tore him up. When will we be able to see that part of the game?
This game was a blast! I seldom play strategy games, so I found this refreshingly difficult. The story was engaging, and the gameplay always kept me on my toes. Definitely worth checking out!
New game wow. Sad that it’s another alien win. Wish there was more to this alien wartime game.

Can you imagine being in such a situation as a marine? No way in hell they pay me enough to deal with the xenomorphs. The fate of those who got dragged off by them is horrific. They either get out-right torn apart or be served as a living incubator for their larvae.
face motion capture looks way off and it's disturbing
Sooo, main character is asian woman, disproportionately women in positions of competency like pilots, doctors etc, most productive dialogue NPCs are black women, all men are stuck up and self centered and most are also ugly... The Col-Marines commander is the token good guy.
"The Message" is not on the nose as in most other modern games but it is unavoidable still... sad.
Love the nod to the Dark Horse Aliens comics
2:14:33 it will eat you alive🤣🤣
This is pretty cool. Why are video game cutscenes uploaded for games just released? Don’t the makers have the same copyright and blackmarket launch concerns as the movie industry? Do they view cutscenes as advertising for the game?
I’m enjoying the this new kind of game view set up😂
Can’t wait to play this
Isn't the "Olduvai Facility" a reference to DOOM?
7:13
Anyone else notice the scream from SCP-096??? 😂
Honestly with how good this game was I wouldn't mind an AVP: Extinction remake. Never got to play that game but from the TH-cam videos I've seen it looks amazing. Would absolutely love a remaster/remake
The scene from Cerberus is soo fucking cool, for a moment seems to be like Battlestar Galactica Batles, and the first Alien hidde in the most important part of the ship is similar to Alien 1, when the Alien hiddes in the scape pod.
Daniel sounds an awful like the A.I. in Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal.
Spoiler Alert!
Story was good except for the ending. Characters equal storytelling potential.
So with basically every character dying right at the end; all the characters you came to like are gone for telling another story and continuing their development.
These Dev's should do a remake of AvP: Extintion.
I was on board until the telepathic stuff, imo they jumped the shark on that one.
A bit of a throwback to the OLD aliens comics and stuff. The aliens had some dead space Type affect on people after a while. It’s how they made them a galactic threat on their own without humans just trying to spread them/use them.
That's always been a part of the franchise, I'm surprised they touched on that
at least this game shows that Wayland-Yutani industry's obsession with the Xenomorph hasn't changed, I mean seriously, why are those morons so damn obsessed with those monstrous aliens?
In the comics WY wants the alien for gene manipulation research because xenos can survive in vacuum of space, has an amazing defense mechanism (acid blood ect), can overpower almost anything. It's the perfect organism so it's not surprising WY would want to understand everything about them so they can develop new technologies with it and make bank.
@@jeffreyelliott713 well what WY constantly fails to understand, is that the xenos are scary smart, they can't be contained, and they can't be controlled.
Bro I got hit with the first ad since 2016 half on your video 😂. Loved this game❤

No Wait?! Is that vegetation on the wall right there?! That must be a first in an Aliens game as most of these partially terraformed world seem to be covered with volcanic rocks only!
While this story was entertaining, I admit, I'm not a huge fan of the "looking from above" play style. It feels like it's distancing me from the action, instead of making me see the events from beyond the shoulders of the characters, or from their own eyes, and thus, when they come across Xenomorph Queens, or (spoilers), whatever that Xenomorph type at the end was, it kind of takes away from being impressed with the size of these creatures. Sure, the looking from above game style allows you to see more of the environment, but you can also look at the environment from what points of view that I mentioned earlier, and still be very impressed. After all, Alien Isolation was a first person style game, and it was very successful at showing the players the scenery around them.
Also, one last compliment that I have about the game- I hate it when you either don't have a final boss, or when you DO have a final boss, but it's poorly executed. Sadly, the "final battle" of this story is just (spoilers again) one long chase scene, where you don't even shoot at the...what do I even call this new alien variant? Xenomorph Giant? Titan? Time will tell. Still, I'm glad that, despite these flaws, the franchise keeps on adding more and more layers to its overall lore, and I'm looking forward what we will discover in the future 😊.
Also, one last thing- that new armored vehicle that you pick up halfway across the story, with the rotating back double turret, and the two gattling guns in the front? If you build this in real life (or use CGI in a live action movie), paint it black, and add just a few pointy metalic parts to it, I think that it could be a great idea for a Bat-Tank for a continuation to Robert Pattinson's Batman arsenal!😊.
man that finale i thought there is like a critter left alive on the otago lol
Nice
Thanks for watching!
1:24:36
Wow, the last thing we need is "Lethe Rebels" VS. "Colonial Marines" during a Xenomorph infestation.
Somehow, I blame "Weyland Yutani."
31:11 Looks like a character from a Bioshock game wandered in
If they wanna kill critters they need Ug, Lee, and Charlie. The greatest bounty hunters in the galaxy.
Come on, team! Hurry up, you slugs!
1:41:20 "Weld doors to CREATES a shelter" ...
Dark Descent is Wild ASF, Intriguing even, It's not Alien 👽 Isolation, But it's different. Graphics are Litt🔥.., Cutscenes on point, Format could be better....Full size characters, Not some Smartphone friendly BS....But it's KOOL. New Alien 👾 game for 2023. Let's ROCK 💥💥💥
4:12:09 Why the Hell did you interrupt her speech?!!!🤬
Question...where are we going to see the marines?...the marines in the preview of this game....with the Sargent locked out when the Aliens attacked, and the one marine was giving his last message before the aliens probably tore him up. When will we be able to see that part of the game?
When did this game come out⁉️ Maybe i been so bogged down wit work lately, i totally must've missed it 🤬😤
2:00:40 Just realized the Otago looks like the Pillar of Autumn
