Promethean Thirst

Unreal Engine 5 rides to the rescue as one of Telltale's best adventures gets resurrected. We've seen The Wolf Among Us 2 running, and we're thrilled that it's finally on the right track.

Not only were my fears of the roguelite loop unfounded, but the Burnout roots baked into developer Fuse Games’s DNA was joyously evident in every moment I spent on the track with Star Wars: Galactic Racer. And the times I wasn’t going hundreds of miles per hour when I was on foot did a great job of further Star Wars-ifying my experience. I’m incredibly optimistic about what I’ve seen from this long overdue spiritual successor to Episode 1: Pod Racer, and I can’t wait to play more of it.

With a fourth player added, a new completely open-ended Specialist class, new special Xenomorph types, and a totally new campaign, Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 may not be reinventing the PvE Alien-game wheel, but it doesn’t need to. It’s adding seemingly everything we’d reasonably want in order to take the already well-executed concept from the first Fireteam Elite to the next level.
