good quality meat for sandwitches
Aliens, oh Aliens... when am I not going to love you, guys? Should make a sequel to this game...
The game honestly isn't that bad. Would definitely wait to buy it on a sale tho, not worth £25. Story is okay and the game play is good. The Friendly AI are so bad, pretty much the whole story i was wondering where my team was and they would just spawn as i got to a certain point or if i pushed a button. Definitely not the best alien game but wouldn't say it was the worst.
play the dlc. it's the only good part of the game.
One of the worst fps games I've ever played. Everything about it is just imbalanced, not to mention the infamous downgrade.
Truly the peak of the Allen cinematic experience. Fear and anxieties lie around every corner, and the allen, much like the films (my favorite is Allen 4) is a terrific enemy to have seen. The unpredictable nature of it's AI helps greatly in this regard. Sometimes it sits seemingly doing nothing...This is but a genius ploy by the developers to lull you into a false sense of security. This is instantly shaken by the creature emitting a screech and continuing to sit idly by. Mindgames like these perfectly capture what sort of entity we're dealing with... A perfect game, much superior to the horrible slop known as ALien Isolation. I cannot wait for ALiens Colonial Marines 2. I wish everybody and their sons to experience this mountainous game. This deserves to be revered and referenced to generations to come. A new religion is the only acceptable way for this game to be honored properly.
Fun with a friend, probably would not play it alone
one of my favorites despite it being a flop i still love it!
I've seen alot of good reviews lately trying to paint this game as an overhated, underrated gem of an experience. Do NOT get it twisted. This game is absolute trash. The story is almost laughably bad. The characters are so incredibly moronic that the plot happens in spite of them.
BUT. The Pulse Rifle is fun to shoot. The Aliens go pop when you shoot them. It's delightfully trash.
Well, 6 hours to finish is not much, I would like it if it continued futher, but I really liked the game, most people say it is bad, but I gave it a try, of course the game needs bug fixes and some improvements, but I can say I liked it to play, from funny moments to some jumpscares (yes, I get scared when I'm in spaces with just me and a xenomorph, because they can attack at moments you never expect)
If I made a list of levels of alien games I've played, it would look like this:
1st – Alien Isolation
2nd Aliens: Dark Descent
3rd Aliens: Colonial Marines
In the end, I liked it for the most part (expect the bugs and stuff), I don't know if I'm stupid but I think the story was confusing, tell me about the story if you want (more to explain the story). The game is cool, and thats it :D.
Good game 😁 nice story and gameplay, not the best but hey at least it's an alien game 🍻
I bought this game a decade ago and it was half baked and buggy. I gave up on this game . A decade later I reloaded everything and purchased the DLC. I'm happy to say the issues that plagued this game years ago have been resolved . I've finally played it all the way though. The best part of this game is the DLC. I recommend purchasing that.
Yes, Buy it when possible.
good game with friends for 2024. A perfect Holloween game night game.
Had a peristent crash in mission 3. i got my game working better
i was able to get passed mission 3 no prob
i uninstalled and reinstalled the game...
i followed the PCgamingWiki and i added my video card's hardware ID to the config file
setting it at max level 5
so I have better graphics than before, it was only setting them at level 4.
also i set the game to run fullscreen window mode instead of fullscreen.
one or a combo of all those things made my game work.
I haven't played the game without the "Aliens Colonial Marines Overhaul" MOD, yet
The AI teammates are pretty bad:
-not shooting as much as they need to
-getting stuck or not pushing forward when it is safe to do so
-serving more as a meat shield/punching bag for the aliens
-In these types of games where the main baddie is a mostly melee-exclusive enemy they just had to add another faction that is almost entirely gun-based and isn't fun to fight. kinda like Space Marines 1 with the Orcs and Choas Marines.
-The AI both Xenos and mercs get stuck or have their AI turn off if you manage to get far enough away or push an objective fast enough
-You can’t push forward into gunfire or Xenos when they keep spawning xenos behind you
-If you die in the last stand section of Hope in Hadles the game will soft lock where you can't do it again until you restart the whole mission
-This mod does make everything do more damage including the Xenos can 3-shot melee at full health +1 if at full armor in combination with your AI teammates
still being retarded and bad checkpoints, making parts of the game very frustrating.
so yes at certain points of the campaign, I removed the mod to make things possible to beat.
-The mod fixes the enemy AI for the most part but not your teammates while also making the enemies do way more damage which just makes the game too hard at certain sections.
Without the mod, all the AI breaks making it too easy.
it is a great shooting game in space
If your a fan of the Alien movies this game is cool
Tried to get into this game many times over the years that I've had it sitting in my library, and no matte my mood...it's just never been a fun game to me.
Now in October 2024 I'm trying one more time to get into it, and I get "updating executable" every time I try to start it, and it never starts.
So yeah, screw this game. I'm getting it removed from my library.
probably wait for a sale, but it is fun if you have some friends to play it with and like the aliens movie
Its shit. Really shit.
Saw a youtube video praising a mod that fixes tons with the game and makes it maybe worth it. It doesnt and its not.
Its shit.
Shit then, shit now.
Aliens Colonial Marines, one of the most hated Aliens game, but I found it really fun, although does it really deserve the hate? Lets start off with price, I spent 14$ on this game, snagging a copy for my friend, so buy it on-sale. Another reason why it was hated was because of graphics, but its not that bad when it comes to graphics. Gore, lets keep this short, why does this matter. Story-line it was decent although the beginning with the 'SEPHORA' perfecto,
7/10
Good game, some good areas and fight scenes. Might have issue with the mech section of the game but its good after that. Visually its a good looking game that can be improved with reshade or nvidia freestyle.
The sound is great, from the atmosphere, to aliens, to guns to your character its good. The scenery is good and it looks great graphically. Reslly nice gsme for Alien franchise lovers.
amazing game use to play it on my xbox 360 !!!
Does not deserve those awful reviews. It has it flaws but the nostalgia is strong. Co op mode is great.
Could you believe i paid 50euros when it was released?
It was bad.
Now its..."playable".
Hawk 1: Boo!
Hawk 2: AHHHHH!!!
Great game, had it since it first came out. I know it had a really bad release, but now after it has been patched up, it is good. I really enjoy the co-[op campaign with my friends.
fun
Brings back the good ol days
Hicks ♡
10/10
I love everything related to the Alien franchise so I like this piece of crap of a game as well :) At first I was angry with the publisher that they even allowed themselves to try to release this garbage of a game, after a few hours of playing I ignored all the bugs and terrible graphics and finally started to enjoy the game. I don't recommend this game to anyone unless you're a fan of the Alien franchise like me, so you'll love anything with the word Alien on it, for others it's recommended to avoid and don't waste money on this.
In 2024, I don't know who this is supposed to appeal to anymore. There are better shooting games. There are better Alien games. It's not horrifically terrible like I was expecting but there are only so many hours in a lifetime and 18 of mine were spent on this. Whoops.
The Overhaul mod made this game marginally better, but it's still too big of a sack of shit for any change to make a difference.
verry fun
Great with TemplarGFX Overhaul!
PURE TRASH with the bugs even after all the updates. Get to the cargo control and the buggy game. Will not let you do anything after the door closes the helper guy covers the door move's and thats it . Look for the controls and any help there is none . Restarted many time from check piont and restart mission BUGGY GAME . WASTE of time how can people like this game? you only play for 15-20 and is screws up.
I NJOY THE GAME AND lOVE THE FRANCHISE.
Way too boring.
Aliens: Colonial Marines - Frostbitten Review by Kiba Snowpaw
“From the frozen peaks of HowlStrom, I, Kiba Snowpaw, have ventured into the universe of Aliens: Colonial Marines (ACM). As an Ice Wolf with 37+ years of gaming wisdom, here’s my chilly breakdown of ACM’s highs and lows.”
---
Introduction
ACM, released by Gearbox Software in 2012, was meant to be a direct continuation of the Aliens movie universe. The hype was intense, but the landing was as rough as a Xeno tail strike. Promised as a next-gen shooter, it became infamous for its AI issues and broken mechanics—until the modding community helped salvage it from the ice.
---
Basic Plot Summary
You’re a US Colonial Marine, dropped onto LV-426 to face off against relentless Xenomorphs. The story is meant to tie into the film, but it falls short, feeling rushed and full of missed opportunities. Expect more action than depth, with plenty of lore nods that may appease the die-hard Aliens fans.
---
Originality
ACM isn’t particularly innovative. The gameplay follows a familiar FPS structure: shoot, reload, and repeat. Its most original aspect was supposed to be the AI and environmental authenticity, but it fell short. Mods like TemplarGFX’s overhaul helped fix what should’ve worked from the start.
---
The Studio
Gearbox Software, the minds behind Borderlands, took on this project but failed to deliver what was promised. Plagued by reports of resource mismanagement and outsourcing, ACM became more of a cautionary tale than a gaming triumph. The modding community ultimately became the true heroes of ACM’s survival.
---
Analysis
AI Mechanics: The Xenomorph AI, famously broken at launch, was rendered ineffective due to a simple typo in the game’s code. Fixing this drastically improved the Xeno threat, making them the terrifying predators they should have been.
Co-op Gameplay: Playing with friends is where ACM shines. The drop-in/drop-out feature allows for thrilling teamwork, with squads of Marines coordinating to survive the Xeno onslaught.
---
Character Development
Main Characters: You play as Winter, a Marine with as much depth as a frozen puddle. The character arcs are minimal, and the dialogue often falls flat.
Supporting Cast: Colonel Hicks makes a lackluster return, alongside a forgettable supporting cast. The emotional connections are shallow, failing to leave any lasting impact.
---
Structure & Mechanics
Structure: Linear and predictable. It’s a straightforward FPS with no real surprises. Get from point A to point B, shoot everything in between.
Mechanics: The gunplay is decent, and the variety of weapons from the Aliens universe is fun. However, without mods, the mechanics are underwhelming, with the AI failing to provide the challenge that was expected.
---
Impact
ACM’s release was a disaster, and it quickly became a meme in the gaming world. Despite this, it has since been resurrected by modders. Mods like TemplarGFX’s overhaul have improved the graphics, AI, and gameplay experience, transforming ACM into something closer to what was promised.
---
Hook & Thesis
The hook? Play as a Marine and fight Xenomorphs! But the deeper experience of facing a relentless alien species fell flat at launch. The game’s thesis about survival and brotherhood was overshadowed by broken mechanics.
---
Praise & Critique
Praise: The sound design, environmental fidelity, and co-op gameplay shine. The pulse rifle sounds and Xeno encounters, when working, can be intense and satisfying.
Critique: The poor AI, broken launch state, and lack of character depth make ACM more frustrating than fun. The story doesn’t live up to its potential, and the DRM issues only add to the ice-cold frustration.
---
Personal Opinion
Enjoyment: ACM, with mods, can be a fun, nostalgic trip through the Aliens universe. It’s best played with friends, where co-op helps smooth over its rough edges.
Hatement: Solo play is monotonous and plagued by repetitive missions and brain-dead AI. Without mods, the game is almost unplayable.
---
Highlights & Drawbacks
Highlights: Co-op gameplay, pulse rifle sounds, and nostalgic environments based on the Aliens films.
Drawbacks: Initial AI issues, poor character development, weak narrative, and lackluster solo play.
---
Conclusion
Aliens: Colonial Marines is like an ice-covered relic—frozen in time, flawed, but with enough potential to make it worth uncovering. If you’re a fan of the franchise and can install some mods, it’s worth a shot. Otherwise, you might be left feeling as cold as the HowlStrom winds. 🐺❄️

I give this game a solid C.
Just finished the story. Don't know why people hate on this game, as a fan of the Aliens franchise I thought this game really captured the 1986 marines combat feeling. With beautiful visuals and perfect sound effects shooting the M41A Pulse Rifle felt amazing. The story was pretty good (except for what felt like an abrupt ending, it was good with a lot of references to the original movie in 1986).
If you like the Alien movies especially Aliens from 1986 with the colonial marines action you should get this game.
Didn't age good, better to watch the story on youtube. Bought it on sale.
nice game to play on sale
if you ever wanted to play in the movie aliens play this game
certainly enjoyable if you go in with the right expectations, it has some old shooter jank and it's not the same as the avp game but it's fun
I bought this game during covid as I had an older PC, love the Alien franchise and had already played AVP to a point where I needed something new. I knew the controversy behind this game but thought "was it really that bad?".
My answer... no it's not that bad... not amazing or even great but it's OK. Game runs well and looks ok for the most part (some cutscenes look a little jarring but I just hide for those and pretend they're not happening). The Aliens are dumb and when they stand up running towards you looking for hugs , you know it's time to shoot them. Story is not great but also not the worst either.
The best thing I can say is that when you're tired and want a mindless fps to get through then this is OK.
Role playing as the marine will make this experience better to. Runs well on steam deck too.
I know I gave this a thumbs up and the best I can say is it's OK but this game is exactly that. Yes there are better now with Alien Isolation; Fireteam Elite and Dark Decent but if you're a fan of this franchise and know what you're getting into you can have some fun here.
Waste of time and money. Bad game mechanics, poor visibilities
Only buy if you want to torture yourself with anxiety attacks and panic attacks.
Bland gameplays
Get Ailen Isolation or Ailen Firstrike Elite instead
Why game is bad
1. Character is sluggish and sprinting control is unresponsive
2. Weapon has no accuracy at all, it fires at random direction. You need really close to target to hit something.
3. AI are dumb.
4. Character sprinting is so short and unresponsive which make you easily get killed by guardian and queen
5. Enemy does incredible damage while you can't dodge. Parrying system doesn't work very well.
