I ended up enjoying it a little more than I did initially.
For a small team, they did well enough.
My only gripe is the same I had with the division, it felt like you were just kind of a guy all alone with only enemies. The division 2 changed it to where you had allies in the environment, and safe spaces you could improve upon that brought perks/upgrades etc.
FTE isn't exactly upon world, but I think it would be improved upon by having just more interaction with the world in general. Doubt this will happen all that much in FTE, but maybe a sequel.
I also think a Mass Effect type of game with a small elite type of unit chasing down WY wrongdoings and Alien threats that is more story driven than action driven could work as well.
Not a bad game, but I maintain it is only surface level Alienverse. Hopefully this is built upon by the sequel.
