Atmospheric, intense, brutal.

If you are a fan of the series this should float your boat... Caught up in the labyrinthine halls of a Weyland- Yutani building, constantly keeping check of your motion tracker, vitally aware of your bullet count... and of the stresses of xenomorph encounters on your marines. This is a game that i feel catches the intensity of the films.

Mechanics take a minute to master but after that it all feels natural. And the management part of the game was a delightful surprise.

Soundtrack is excellent with the audio styling from the Aliens movie.

Worth a try, for sure.

I was excited to hear that Hulu was creating a show that was being compared to the Twilight Zone and Black Mirror. Hulu's original programming has been hit or miss but I had hope! Then I heard Mark Hammill was narrating: Bonus Points! But in the same moment I saw that it was being created by Rocketjump. Points lost. I haven't enjoyed anything they produced.

Still, I was determined to give it a shot.

From the first scene I could tell it was not what it had been compared to. The lighting immediately gave it the feel of a sit-com of sorts, the soundtrack seems outright silly for the genre they were attempting to be a part of.

The acting left much to be desired, the writing seemed even worse. It's as if they had ideas for 10-15 minute shows and stretched it out into 45. No, I was not impressed but I felt like it would be unfair to judge it without watching the first 3 episodes.

Cut to 2 1/2 hours later and you have a disappointed person wishing for that part of their life back.

The Twilight Zone and Black Mirror are thought provoking, edgy, interesting... Dimension 404 is cheesy, uninteresting and generally boring.

Do yourself a favor and watch something else.
