Aliens: Dark Descent starts off slow, and I mean that as a compliment. Like the film it's based on, the game takes its time introducing you to your squad and their mission, letting tension build over time rather than coming right out the gate with guns blazing.
The result isn't perfect, but it's an extremely compelling, sometimes unbearably tense mashup that comes closer to nailing what makes Aliens great than any other game.
You need to carefully monitor your squad's physical and mental health to make it out alive. The game balances tension with explosive action.
Even once the action has kicked off, Aliens: Dark Descent does an excellent job of balancing tension with explosive action.
