Aliens: Fireteam Elite

Not generally that into the Left 4 Dead type swarm games but I like the alien franchise and think this is surprisingly solid. Looks good, shooting feels satisfying, there's enough levelling depth that it's enticing. Different classes add some replay value. Little annoyances, even on easy, being you can't complete objectives where you hold down a button while you're getting hit... which makes sense in real life but detracts from the experience in video games.

Harmless fun to be enjoyed as a group. Great capturing of the franchise's aesthetics.
