Its quite good, only played a mission or so last night though.
Much improvement compared to deadnation, due to loot drops/abilities etc. Reminds me a bit of a top down dungeon crawler.
Heavy is really annoying having to reload every 1.5 seconds, have yet to try the others.
matchmaking seems quick so far however you dont know if your going to end up joining a match when they are extracting.
will update once I have given it more time.

I'll wait until its free on ps plus. All housemarque games end up free sooner or later and i can wait.

Want to buy it but know this will be on PS+ at some point... Decisions decisions!!

Can't go wrong at this price - plus, you own it outside of PS+ - if you should ever end your subscription. It's the kind of game you might want to go back to a couple of years down the line to try another character out.

As a person who loved every minute of Resogun, even getting Plat on it, Alienation was dissapointing. Its not a bad game at all, but nowhere near as good as I expected from HM. The difficulty is unbalanced (can be enfuriatingly hard even on rookie), and even with upgrades the clip size on your main gun should be a lot bigger all the way through rather than relying on RNG for a good one or a legendary. Still a great price, just thought I would offer an alternative to all the gushing about it.

The clip size is fine and I use SMG with mods - no problem... secondary, Plasma Shotgun with 5 shots before reload - its all down to timing and the Shotgun especially clears whole mobs if you time it correctly. If the clip size were too expansive it would tip the balance and take away much of the challenge.
I am a fairly skilled player in these styles of games so haven't found it much of a challenge on medium settings.
I don't think we have "gushed" on the thread, as the game is incredibly well designed & praiseworthy, "gushing" usually denotes a biased & blinkered level of praise.

I can understand your point of view. Resogun was virtually perfect. This doesn't have quite the same level of perfection, but it's also not even a similar type of game. If your looking for a Resogun sequel I think Matterfall is more likely to the one?
The co-op in Alienation is fun in a way that Resogun never could be. I'm not for a minute saying Resogun co-op isn't fun, it's just an entirely different animal.
It did get a little annoying running out of ammo at first. But it really just requires a little planning. You still have a melee attack, if you're playing solo you need to use it more. If you're playing multiplayer, you will very rarely run into the ammo problem at all.

Fantastic game. It's from Housemarque, the developers behind Resogun. There's DLC inbound and I cannot wait.

Hows the single player on this? Any good?

Very good, but can be quite tricky in places and takes a bit of perseverance. It's the kind of game that flows really well, even playing with random strangers. You do have to play it solo to get all the trophies though (I think).
Looks good, reminds me of deadnation.
May even tempt me to switch my ps4 on, heat :smile:.

I don't think you'd regret it. They've added quite a lot of stuff lately. Weekly ranking competitions, local co-op, two higher difficultly modes... I wanna say a few new enemies, but I'm not sure if I am imagining things.
