The WhatsNext verdict
For Co-op shooter fans who want a squad of marines holding ground against Xenomorph swarms together: Each mission asks a squad to hold position against waves of enemies, so loadouts, placement, and coordination decide who survives. Tradeoff: The wave-and-objective loop repeats across missions, and solo play is harder than the squad-built design intends.
