I feel like Aliens: Dark Descent lacks the tactical thinking that would make it engaging and has so many mechanics that distract from what could've been a more interesting game had the developers focused more on gameplay.
It can be tense but comes with seriously annoying things. The game has a death clock in it, good grief. This is not like the OG Xcom where a campaign was randomized and could completed in a reasonable time frame or Majora's Mask where a major mechanic of the game is resetting progress, it's 30 hours. It feels like it totally disrespects the player's time. Ultimately, I quit because I felt I had better games to play.
