I’ve been trying to think of the last time I was this stressed out playing a video game and I’ve settled on Darkest Dungeon, which is fitting considering that Aliens: Dark Descent draws some inspiration from that game. To be clear, Aliens: Dark Descent is not a scary game, but it certainly is a nerve-racking game – full stop. I half-sighed an exasperated “okay” and re-deployed, determined to learn from my mistakes.
