Its still fascinating how this game is still getting free DLC-sized content updates after 9 years, that I wonder how the devs even make money. Its far from perfect and suffers from the same issue all modern open worlds suffer from: the wider the shallower. But anyways it IS a good game.
No other title could even remotely catch the Alien vibes so perfectly like this one. Compared to Alien Isolation any other franchise adaption seems like a license cash grab. And I played almost all of them since Playstation 1.
Yes, Doom Eternal did some stuff better but the cartoonish, bright and oversaturated graphics made it look like, it didn't take itself seriously. This ruined the atmosphere a little bit. So Doom (2016) is still the best for me. 'At least for now. Its very dark, very aggressive, very fast and yes it even has a story. On discount, its a steal!
No other adaptation captured the alien vibes this good. Not even remotely. Thats everything you need to know. Watch the first alien movie if you haven't yet and if you like it, you will love this game.
Like the most simulations, Uboat really benefits from "manual labor". The less automation the better. Its quite unsatisfying to play on low difficulty, It feels shallow and lacks of content. But doing everything on your own, like locating enemies on the map or calculating attack solutions and intercept courses feels awesome once you succeed and spot detonating torpedos on the horizon. To me it could even be more complicated. More to do and more to put into account. Maybe I should start over with disabled section view. Anyway I look forward for more content and updates and hopefully DLCs.
