Mick Fraser: "Team Dakota allow you to do whatever you want with their game. Want to recreate Prince of Persias platforming in the desert sands? Its possible.

Even if a player uses the motion tracker religiously and thinks theyre playing smart, that xenomorph will surprise you. The Creative Assembly did an admirable job with its AI, resulting in an opponent that is a big, slimy, terrifying stalker."
