Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a bland co-op shooter that coasts on the strength of its license.
As its name suggests, Aliens: Fireteam Elite is inspired by James Cameron’s 1986 classic sci-fi film. Unlike 2014’s Alien: Isolation, which took a survival-horror approach, Aliens: Fireteam Elite favors nonstop action.
When it comes to video-game adaptations, the Alien franchise has a spotty history. While Aliens: Fireteam Elite is by no mean the worst offender of the bunch, it does commit a cardinal gaming sin: it’s extremely bland.
