More
often I’m exploring cooperative and solitaire games given their
growing prevalence as a subgenre of the adventure gaming hobby and
my limited player base. Frequent readers know I’ve discussed solo
roleplaying game options before (and I’m still exploring more
recent entries), but I’ve not really talked much about solitaire
board or wargames beyond
the “playing against yourself” variety. The pandemic had me
exploring a host of different options, both purely solitaire games as
well as cooperative games suitable for a single player. The
intersection of these games with themes that interest me has brought
a few new
titles
into my collection. As a fan of the first two
Aliens
franchise movies, I couldn’t resist picking up their associated
games, each designed as a cooperative game suitable for a single
player. Both remain true to their cinematic origins, but they offer
quite different experiences on several levels.
