I’m sure that any list I would come up with would be 90% overlap.

Anyway, I'm certainly interested in Manor and you mentioned that it's an "improvement" on Caverns. How so?

The big differences are that Lifeform is a dead-perfect game of the movie Alien, while Nemesis is definitely Aliens. Lifeform is probably better solo--as you get the sense of isolation from the first movie. Nemesis wants a larger crowd so that the paranoia and not-quite-coop sets in. (But Nemesis still works if you play full the full co-op option.)
You also get to do more on your turn in Nemesis, and the randomness of the setup and events means that the games play very differently. Lifeform is a lot more constrained in terms of what can happen. Nemesis can easily break out into half of the ship on fire, burning out the monsters, but endangering the ship and the rest of the crew struggling to control the fire and break through to the fire suppression station, while trying to make the Pilot explain EXACTLY why he needs to go examine the #3 engine, while the Engineer slips to a control chamber to lock the outer door to the #3 Engine Room.
...and the stock answer about what do do with the Queen wandering about is "I don't want to think about that right now."
Honestly, Nemesis is better.
