Alienation Reviews
Alienation feels like a series of half-measures that never come together, destined to be little more than a mediocre arcade shooter.
Alienation isn't a terrible game by any stretch, but it's not great either. It's monotonous and lifeless, but can entertain in short bursts and with friends. Housemarque has done better in the past, and they should have done better here.
Housemarque's latest offers brilliant loot and levelling, but it's the moment-to-moment action that truly excels.
I had a blast with Alienation, and if you have friends willing to invest to play it with, you'll have a ton more on top of that. The loot system is appreciated as well as the various ways to progress your character and your gear. Yet another top notch game from Housemarque under their belt. Now we just wait to see whether Matterfall ever see the light of day, whatever that game is.
