It's not for you to decide if a game is unappealing molasar, gameplay wise or not. Stating this as fact is a bit "Trumpisch" too... srry m8.
If you mean unappealing to you personal then sure! Not all Aliens/AVP/Predator games can please everyone. Simple fact is 2.1 million (thats only the first 8 months btw) found it quite good, and metacritic paints a very nice picture too... specially for a horror survival game. People still post youtube vids of gameplay and encounters with the Alien. Because... well.... it's a fantastic Alien game. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It is to me as well because I am a gamer.
Such gameplay mechanics are unappealing to majority of gamers.
No game pleases everyone at the same level.
2.1 million for multiplatform games (released for 5 platforms initially) is quite low.
Do you understand what Metacritic is? Do you know that no reviewer is using a constructive criteria rating system?
The game is not even a proper horror survival game (mainly established by classic RE games) where gamers expect that they can still fight enemy back. Even with limited resources.
People post everything on YT.
Perhaps it is fantastic Alien 1979 interactive cinematic experience but not as a proper game with proper gameplay.
