HOW WILL YOU SURVIVE?
Discover the true meaning of fear in Alien: Isolation, a survival horror set in an atmosphere of constant dread and mortal danger. Fifteen years after the events of Alien, Ellen Ripley's daughter, Amanda enters a desperate battle for survival, on a mission to unravel the truth behind her mother's disappearance.
As Amanda, you will navigate through an increasingly volatile world as you find yourself confronted on all sides by a panicked, desperate population and an unpredictable, ruthless Alien.
Underpowered and underprepared, you must scavenge resources, improvise solutions and use your wits, not just to succeed in your mission, but to simply stay alive.
Good Points
- The graphics are outstanding. The developers spent alot of time watching Alien as the space station, Sevastopol, looks like it came straight out of the movie.
- At the beginning, the tension is off the hook. Simple things, like just walking across the room, just creep you out. Jump scars are in full effect. The first few times you encounter the alien will put a pit in your stomach.
Bad Points
- Stupid movement restrictions. You cannot jump or walk over simple items or pick up weapons off dead foes.
- You constantly retracing your steps back and forth across the station.
- After awhile the alien just becomes annoying as you have dodge around it's constant roaming patterns.
Final Word
To be fair, I have never had the patience to play stealth games and this one is no different. While Alien - Isolation has great atmosphere the overall game play is repetitive and you spend most of your time hiding under desks and inside lockers.
