Maaaan this was neat! I'm trying to control my expectations, was very pleasantly surprised with all the features I saw! Nice management at the base, love the cutscenes, didn't know we had the whole planet with so many locations to explore! Feels very cinematic, a nice story driven experience. Love that we can actually drive the APC!!! They even put the original Ron Cobb version of the APC, so cute. Something that looks like spooky Engineer ruins, am looking forward to that. The 3 pointy dorsal spikes on the final Alien do have me leaning again more towards Praetorian, but maybe it could be an Ultramorph? The facehugger cutscene is beautiful.
The only faults for me are that the weird Drone sidestep phasing animation looks wrong, and that the Phase Plasma Pulse Rifle's purple hue shot doesn't feel impactful for now.
I'm so excited to try this game out!
