I’ll give my honest opinion of Alien Swarm –
M. E. H. Meh.
As a game, it’s mediocre at best. However, it has a Skinner box very similar to Diablo 2. Where, you know that next reward is right around the corner so you keep playing it. However, for me, it seems like I see the next reward and tell myself “Okay, maybe thiswill make the game fun”. But it doesn’t. So, I wait for the next one. Repeat ad infinitum.
To be honest, the game seems to pop when you have four players (As it should. Because it’s a 4-player Co-op game). But, I feel like the social aspect is easily better in l4d or tf2.
Overall, it’s exactly what it says it is. A four player, arcade-esque shooter with RP elements (Which, nowadays, means a leveling system and equipable items). However, to be honest, I’ve only played a couple hours. So, maybe it grows on you. Luckily, my friends keep playing it. I can get my satisfaction playing with them until I grasp if I like it or not.
