Great Game with Bad Optimisation: Critics praise Aliens: Dark Descent for its great gameplay, but remain unhappy about its technical state
It's release day for the tactical game Aliens: Dark Descent, based on the famous sci-fi franchise.
The critics have already submitted their reviews, so we advise you to read them before buying the game.
Here's What We Know
Most of the reviewers agree that Aliens: Dark Descent is an excellent tactical game that perfectly conveys the atmosphere of the Ridley Scott films.
Journalists also praised interesting story, quality gameplay and exciting battles with xenomorphs. The main problem with Aliens: Dark Descent is its technical performance. Because of poor optimization the game fails to run smoothly even on a powerful PC. This problem will be addressed by the developers in further updates, but today it is difficult to play Aliens: Dark Descent.
This is reflected in the scores:
- The PC version of Aliens: Dark Descent received a 72 on Metacritic;
- OpenCritic gave the game a score of 76, with a recommendation of 67%.
The game is available on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series and Xbox One.
