Graphics are excellent and the difficulty on hard is brutal. The story is interesting and a nice addition to the "Alien" universe. The only complaints I have is being used to the FPS format usually meaning "fast paced shooter" it's a bit difficult to get used to having to find alternate means aside from "shoot it until it dies". In this game, distraction is your game and in fact, knowing the layout of a given area is a must- if it sees you, it kills you. The Alien is lovingly rendered and moves quite well, he's faster than you think which can be jarring when an 8-foot monster moves with seemingly blinding speed; you can actually use that your advantage if you're smart. Oh and forget about killing him, just forget about it. This is a thinking man or woman's game requiring patience and a survivors willingness to escape to survive; it's very much unlike any other FPS I've ever played which means it can be difficult to get used to if your previous experience is playing C:OD or Borderlands 2. The music is wonderful as the game mixes in tracks from "Alien" and original music. This is a lovingly rendered game, fans from the series will notice this in the technology, the environment and the Alien itself. The sound effects are ambient and terrifying, the most stressful moments often arrive from hearing the alien and not being able to see it. You have a solid arsenal of items to craft for distraction and occasionally for self defense but you must deploy them carefully because as I wrote if it sees you, it kills you.
   
   I can safely say this is the first game since "Dead Space" came out way back in 2008 that genuinely terrified me. A key difference being with Dead Space you could rest assure that you can kill whatever it is that comes at you while this game it's a completely different story. The game is not perfect but the pros far outweigh the cons, it is atmospheric, terrifying and you will dread seeing the monster. If you're a fan of survival horror and have waited and been disappointed by one misstep after another don't pass this one up. It can be frustrating because the difficulty at the highest level is brutal but it is immersive enough that like "Dark Souls" every death is a lesson learned. Oh and for clarity this game is DEFINITELY not Aliens:Colonial Marines which was a complete mess that promised much and delivered so very little. I hated that game which made me nervous about purchasing this game but it is definitely worth it.
   
   Also if you're a big fan of the first three films like I am this is the first Alien game that you can hold your head up high while purchasing, it's that good. I haven't finished it yet but my verdict is that this is unequivocally the best "Alien" game that's ever been made, more please.… Expand

It can be challenging at times but in a positive way, I never felt like Alien: Isolation was being unfair. If I messed up it was something I did that I could have done differently. There are however five difficulty levels so you can adjust it to suit you.
   
   If you're looking for a fast-paced FPS with a lot of action then this is not it. It's not about that. Otherwise t's worth looking at and if you're a fan of Alien (1979) even more so.… Expand

   So after the god awful mess that was Aliens: Colonial Marines, we needed a new game starring the aliens to wash out the horrific taste that Colonial Marines left in are mouths. The bugs, the glitches and the laughable AI that made the game funny but it wasn't suppose to be funny but to be taken seriously. Everybody's expectations was high for Alien: Isolation by it's advertisements and the word of mouth that was going around about the game made the hype higher then ever. Now everybody has bought the game and played it and anything seems to be positive with feedback. Everybody seems happy of what they got and I was too.
   
   The graphics in the game are much much better than Colonial Marines, I mean I did come across some glitches in this game but they wasn't anything like Colonial Marines. I was decent graphics for the most part, I mean the graphic didn't really wow me in anyway it was just basic graphics you see in every video game you play.
   
   The Alien itself is both scary and truly terrifying and it's mostly by the design of the alien and the sound effect's it makes. The creature will kill everything that comes it's way even you. The Alien in Colonial Marines was just a joke because it was a messy cliche that was both laughable and bad since the Alien is suppose to be frighting and a treat. In this game you are hiding for your life trying to get away from this thing and when he finds you it's over. I thought the game creators did a fantastic job on the design of the Alien.
   
   The sound mixing and editing in this game was spot on great and really added a lot to the game when it comes to suspense.
   
   Now for the problems with the game: The ending didn't really end very good. It just ended just like that and it left me wanting more which isn't a good thing for me.
   
   The voice acting for the most part wasn't anything that good. It wasn't bad or anything like that I was just blah.
   
   The game isn't anyway near flawless as these many mistakes and flaws in the game itself. Let's just say that the game isn't perfect but putting all that aside this is still a pretty good game and a game that's worth playing.… Expand

The uncompromising difficulty combined with manual saves and repetitive gameplay can make Isolation a hugely frustrating and at times boring experience. The plot also doesn't seem to go anywhere with most of the game filled with boring tasks such as pressing switches or computer terminals. The main problem lies with the Alien its self. There are looooong sections where the Alien just won't leave you alone and to be honest the "crawl, hide (for 10 minuets), die, repeat, crawl, hide, die, repeat nature of the game almost had me giving up as early as the 5th level. Apart from anything else having something invincible constantly on your ass eventually becomes tedious rather then scary. Which misses the point of the game I guess. BUT I'm glad I stuck with it because it does get better and the things it does right it does very well. The use of sound to create tension is the best I've seen since Dead Space and the ambiance generally is very creepy. The Alien AI is actually well done and feels like the unpredictable, intelligent killer from the movies. When it's not frustrating you it will certainly scare you. Everything about this game is intense - You're not even safe while saving the game.
   The last third of the game is defiantly the best but it's a shame it takes that long for the game to introduce some variety to the gameplay and interesting plot twists. Ther's a great survival horror in here somewhere but problems with pacing, repetition, plot and difficulty mean while this is good were still waiting for the ultimate Alien game.… Expand
