"Unlike every other Alien game to date, the alien in Alien: Isolation is an unpredictable enemy. It's off-rails, unscripted and behaves pretty much however it pleases. Like a mad Tamagotchi, the alien is powered by some clever AI routines that allow it to hunt and kill using a bunch of different senses." ... Read full review

The developers clearly had a lot of love for the original two iconic movies and their love and respect is echoed in everything from the impeccable score, art direction & level design, to the nerve-racking atmosphere and, of course, the omnipresent and ridiculously intelligent alien creature. Games like this are such a rare sight these days, which makes me cherish it all the more. You'll find the game even making its way into your dreams, that's how strong of an experience Amanda Ripley's escapades aboard the abandoned Sevastopol station really are.… Expand

During this time, never even saw the Alien.

Finally catch a brief glimpse of the Alien's tail.

Turn off game, call mom to tell her I love her.

Can now only play this game during the day, with the lights on, while listening to the "Happy Days" theme on loop.

This game took me by surprise. The Alien franchise has had some very unfortunate setback in terms of video games. But this game is the redemption that the Alien series has been looking for.

Graphics: From a technical stand point the graphics are good. But what I appreciate as a PC gamer is that considering the quality of the graphics I suffered very few issues with frame rate. So in terms of graphics you have very nice graphics with high frame rates on a less than midline system. 8/10

Gameplay: This is a survival Horror game and seriously plays like it. The aiming was a little off but better than a LOT of similar games I've played and the controls were responsive. The little 'mini-games' for the various unlocking tools were a nice addition those they did eventually become tiresome. But overall a strong showing with the responsiveness. 8/10

Story: This is where the game shines. Some people prefer the movie Aliens to the original. I am not one of them. And this game really help with the feel of the first game to me. The additional stories other than just the main campaign are also well written. I think one of the things I appreciate most is that the character of Ellen Ripley is a strong female character that does not fight the usual stereotype. She is an engineer (when in the real work only 10% of engineers are women). The game does not rely on making her a sexual object. And the terrot and atmosphere the game presents is strong. 9/10

Overall Average of the scores would be 8.3. I try to be objective but I do have a love for this genre so it will be a little biased in this review and round up instead of down to 9/10.… Expand

I have seen the movie many times (I even fired it up again the other day after playing this) and can say that Alien: Isolation almostI have seen the movie many times (I even fired it up again the other day after playing this) and can say that Alien: Isolation almost perfectly captures the mood of that classic. So many of the details from the Nostromo are present on Sevastopol station, like the dipping birds, the cassette-playing boom boxes, the style of the rooms and bulkheads, the 70s era low tech look and feel to everything. You even get to visit the iconic alien derelict ship in the game via a flashback. Cool! But the most important thing it captures is the feeling of dread, the anticipation of death around every corner. The alien is terrifying, but you are most afraid when you don't even see it, just hear it stalking the halls or scuttling around in the air ducts.

Alien: Isolation features a simple but suspenseful story, fleshed out by logs, radio communications, and a few direct interactions with other survivors on the station. The length and pacing of the game is excellent, there is never a dull moment. The manual save system that I was worried about is actually implemented very well, and I like how they incorporated the save stations into the game world so organically.

Visually, the environments are wonderfully detailed, believably authentic, and sometimes spectacular. I was disappointed in the character animations, however, which looked more like something from five years ago, and the dialogue was not always synced up well with the mouth movements. I hope CA focuses on this more if they do a sequel.

My only real criticism of the gameplay is with the last thirty minutes or so. Without giving anything away, after a certain significant event happens to your character, the gameplay suddenly changes from a stealth/survival game to a consoley/XBox linear action game with cut scenes and a final scene that is a god-awful quick time event. For a game built on the dynamic of completing your objectives while using your wits and limited resources to avoid detection by the alien and other human and android enemies, to end with you mashing keys when prompted was a real letdown. This game would have earned a 10/10 if it had a worthy finish that had you utilize the skills that got you through the first 97 percent of it.… Expand
