Game Ratings for Alienation Video Game.
GameSpot: 8 / 10 by Jason D'Aprile
Housemarque's Alienation delivers an excellent multiplayer shooter with timeless appeal.
Wccftech: 9 / 10 by Francesco De Meo
With a frenetic gameplay experience, a vast array of customization features, engaging online multiplayer, a good amount of content and very solid performance, Alienation is one of the best shooter games released this year on all formats. The lack of offline co-op might be a detriment for those who don't like to play online, but this is the only flaw of a really solid package. Housemarque definitely capitalized on years of experience, releasing a shooter that's nothing short of impressive.
COGconnected: 81 / 100 by Alexander Thomas
With beautiful graphics, simple and concise controls, and a decent array of weapons to choose from, Alienation only really falters from a tired plot and lack of character customization.
Average score from votes.
