Being 23 years old, AvP is a little acid-damaged around the edges these days. The terrors of its Marine campaign have certainly diminished in the wake ofAlien: Isolation. But it’s still worth having in your Steam library for a couple of reasons. The three campaigns are all enjoyably different. The Xenomorph campaign is especially notable for its ambitious deployment of 3D space, with Rebellion using the Xenomorph’s ability to scale walls and ceilings to create some truly dizzying 3D levels.

It also features some nifty dismemberment tech for its time – the way aliensburstwhen you blast them with a minigun is still satisfying all these years on. Overall, Classic 2000 isn’t as good asMonolith’s AvP 2, which gave all three campaigns a much stronger narrative structure. But it’s a darn sight better than Rebellion’smediocre follow-up, which launched in 2010.
There’s no information on how long the giveaway will last, with Rebellion simply stating that it’s a “limited time offer”. If you do miss out, though, the game is also available for a measly 99 pennieson Steam, so don’t feel too aggrieved.
