Alienation

About

Alienation is a third-person shooter with a top-down perspective that tasks you with fending off waves of extraterrestrial invaders. You play as a hired gun defending a mining colony under siege, using a variety of weapons and tactics to survive increasingly aggressive alien attacks. The game supports solo runs or team-up play with up to three friends in its optional co-op mode. The game’s highlight is its relentless action and tight gunplay which keeps the pacing sharp throughout. While the story is straightforward the focus on chaotic combat and teamwork options appeals to fans of old-school arcade shooters. With a 78% on Metacritic it’s a solid but often overlooked entry in the PS4 shooter library that delivers consistent thrills for short bursts of playtime.
