Have finished the game now and would like to share my steam review with you guys, you might like the game.
NO SPOILERS BTW!
So after all the pre-reviews like "Sega and Creative Assembly have done this game, don`t buy it after the desaster of Colonial Marines and Total War Rome 2, they will do ♥♥♥♥ again" I was a bit afraid of buying it. Then I decided to pre-purchase this game around 1 week before release and I really have to say it was all worth it.
The graphics of this game are simply awesome, I thought "Can my PC even run this game on low settings due to the fact that my graphic card is just 1 above the minimum and ages beneath the recommended one, but my thoughts were definitely wrong. The game is optimized very well so that I was always able to run it on medium/high settings with shaders etc. turned on medium up to high without having a single lag. So being a little bit over the minimum should make you being able to run it pretty good.
Another important point is the story, of course.
So to be quite honest, I haven't watched the "Alien" movies but I was always kind of interested in space stuff, was a bit curious.
The game has had a lot of moments where I thought "Wow" because the story has a good background and is very very interesting even for people that have not seen the movies.
The gameplay has always been very very exciting and dramatic, the incredibly awesome sound and light effects just improved that. I have played the game with a controller and I have never had a single problem with shooting/running away precisely so don`t be afraid of using one.
So the game has a lot of very shocking and exciting moments and I definitely don`t regret that I have bought the game and I have enjoyed every second I played even if I didn't make some missions at the first or even after the 5th try but I have always been patient and thought "Give it another try, other people are able to do it so I can do it as well".
So all in all it is an awesome game that has alot of exciting and wow- moments with an awesome atmosphere and incredibly good light and sound effects and I can only RECOMMEND this game to anyone who's a bit into space stuff and/or has or hasn't watched the movies so almost everyone.
Big YES from my side.
