"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

First thing that strikes you right in your face is itsAn amazing game which is the true definition of "Survival Horror" by all means!
First thing that strikes you right in your face is its terrifying atmosphere. Fear in this game is not just about jump scares or even Alien by itself. The sense of surviving with great help of amazing sound effects and great musics and its bizarre level design all together have created something like nightmare that gradually rises the fear level inside your mind until the atmosphere single-handedly scares you to the bones while there is no one even around! Now add immortal Alien and other enemies that they just want to kill you ... well, there is no rest in this game. Fear and exhaustion all the way through.
The story line and gameplay are also amazing that even through the long gameplay time you don't feel bored.
An unknown jewel if you ask me!… Expand

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

What a surprise.

The only movie I've seen set within the Alien universe was Prometheus and it wasn't an experience I remember fondly. ThisWhat a surprise.

The only movie I've seen set within the Alien universe was Prometheus and it wasn't an experience I remember fondly. This game has captivated me regardless of my unfamiliarity with its setting. I love how it keeps you in perpetual tension, the “retro” vision of the future, and the sense of helplessness as you are stranded in a ship in the middle of an unknown solar system.

The gameplay can become repetitive and at times even frustrating as you progress beyond the 12th mission with no end in sight. Playing on hard the alien is merciless which resulted in having to replay sections of the game, but its downfalls are mitigated by its success at creating a tensive and atmospheric environment. If nothing else, you know a game is good when IGN and GameSpot, et al. score it poorly.… Expand

This game is very stupid. Were it not for the simple fact that the game does not have automatic saves it would last 74 seconds.
