Asymmetrical, multiplayer horror experiences have become something of the norm in video games over the past two generations. From taking on Jason Voorhees in “Friday the 13th:: The Game”, to facing a pig man from the “Saw” franchise in “Dead By Daylight”, tackling fearful foes alongside friends & strangers alike is truly exhilarating. But before those aforementioned experiences, developers saw the potential in asymmetrical, online multiplayer genre as gamers know it today being carried by another grand horror franchise, “Aliens”. For better and for worst, “Aliens” games delivered some unique moments and unintentionally set the stage for what was to come in the near future.

Wear some clothes that protect against acid, don’t get jumped by prowlers, and get these first impressions of “Aliens: Fireteam Elite”.
