While the atrocious filter was offputting at first, the game was actually surprisingly fun with friends. The creatures arrive quite suddenly, but with enough atmospheric buildup that they can genuinely get some adrenaline pumping. In-game voicechat system works well, radio system also works well (though, you should at the very least deafen on an external chat platform if using one, it ruins a lot of the tension of knowing whether or not someone's dead, for example). The Company itself is a bit too cartoonishly evil and nonsensical for no reason for my personal taste, but the actual game more than makes up for it (plus, I must admit the airlock cutscene is still pretty cool, regardless of how much it actually makes sense).
