Had this elsewhere, bought here in a heartbeat. I love the original Alien movie, and this game portrays its' atmosphere perfectly. Plus on today's hardware it simply flies... Must have.
In it's current form unusable offline (or once servers are taken offline for that matter). Big no-no.
Bought it because I have a soft spot for a post-apocalyptic settings. At first it seemed a bit... superfluous...? Those weird machines (I don't think it's a spoiler if I say that at some point it all starts to actually make sense), everyting kinda bloated... but I kept playing. The huge, vibrant world has something I could not let go. Vast, but far from monotony. Alive, often deadly, yet strikingly beautiful. Story - perhaps not super surprising (I've been reading/watching SF all my life), but nicely told and captivating. I'm really enjoying the game, this weird feeling from the beginning has disappeared, and even though I'm probably somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2, I'm quite sure I will not regret the purchase. Warning, warning! Windows 10 ONLY. It is there in the requirements, but it's easy to miss this.
Just started playing, so far the story is interesting enough to keep me going. Mind you, it's not opening like ME1/2 or Deus Ex, but still ok. Visuals are top notch, perhaps that adds to the immersion and makes it more believable. I could even consider rating it 5, but... Unfortunately, stability is below average. I originally bought it on Epic, and asked for a refund the very next day: typical gameplay between crashes was ca. 3 minutes. The GoG version seems better, still during first hour it has crashed 3 times, so it is playable, but far from comfort (for comparison the Witcher 3 has crashed for me 2 times in approx. 200h of gameplay). Let's hope it will get better in time.
