their eyes could be covered with a shell like a snake when it sleeps.

They probably hear a lot like us, except a little muffled. Their ears are probably covered with skin, but are still fully functional, there's plenty of real creatures that have sealed ears.

Smell. Just smell.

Maybe the can sense vibrations like snakes. Snakes are deaf but they CAN see. Unless their shedding their skin then they're blind.

Quit simple ultiment - xeno. They see through hormones, not eyes. But how they hear is unknown.

Depends. There's multiple theories. Most centre around electro magnetic fields.

The one instance we DO get to see a Xeno's POV in canon was in Alien 3, and I don't think that was meant to do anything other than let us know that it really likes climbing walls while chasing things.

Who says they need to see or hear? They could have weird alien senses that we don't that allow them to function just fine.

but the thing is,they can see! they are not blind.
they see as if they are looking through a fish lense as seen in all the avp and aliens games.(even colonial marines)

Games are not an accurate reflection of the film canon. Of course they can see in the games; you can't exactly expect people to play as a character who can't see or hear.

The predators also have completely normal vision in the games, yet the movies show they don't.

Even though ACM is canon, the multiplayer aspect isn't. Like DD said, players need some practical way to see as aliens.
