Alien: Isolation

What can be said about Isolation that hasn't already been said by the big video game reviewers? This game is terrifying! And an incredibly faithful entry to the Alien Canon, I won't concentrate too much on story but obviously you are Amanda Ripley, daughter of Ellen, you find yourself on Sevastapol station in search for the Nostromo flight recorder to find out what happened to your mother who has been AWOL for 15 years, that's all I'm giving away.

What makes Isolation so special isn't its story, it's the un- predictable, radiant gameplay, one of my favourite moments so far was being spotted b a working Joe in an area I wasn't supposed to be in, they all start chasing me, I think I'm safe hiding in a corner until I turn around and find 7 of them staring at me, one grabs me by the neck and throws me into the wall and proceeds to beat the crap out of me, I whack him with my wrench ad run away into a locker, they give up looking for me, why this was so special is it only happened to me, did it happen to anyone else? Maybe, but certainly not in the exact same way, but it felt scripted, like it was supposed to happen, but it was pure chance and everyone who lays will have their own horrific story to tell that others would not have experienced.

This becomes more frightening when the Xenomorph makes his grand entrance.

The Alien in this game (There is only one) is un-scripted 95% of the time, it hunts you down like a real beast and is truly a complicated AI, and a true and horrific work of art, whenever you see it your skin will burn you will panic and find the nearest hiding place, don't bother fighting it, it will only become more aggressive, don't bother running away, it can run faster, hide or accept death and rethink your strategy.

Forget everything about last years Colonial Marines, if you're a fan of RIdley Scotts 1979 Alien, or survival horror in general, this game is essential, you will scream, panic and sweat but every survival will be something you laugh at and cherish in the end and this is easily the best £35 I have spent in a long long time, buy this game now!

Best horror game I have ever played. Best Alien game made. Simple. Should get a sequel and more recognition.

Greetings from Lithuania.

If you are a fan of "Alien" / "Aliens" - grab this video game immediately. If you are a fan of "Call of Duty" type shooters, think twice before getting in this world.

"Alien: Isolation" (2014) is hands down the best Alien theme game ever - period. It's all here - claustrophobic settings, sense of true terror, exploration, crafting, searching, shooting (a bit) and the star itself - Alien. And what a star it is. After you will encounter it in the game, every single minute of the rest of the experience will be true experience - the presents of this creature in the game changes everything - can't remember the last time in VG i have been hiding in looker room for 10 minutes just to safely crawl out of the room. The experience is mesmerizing. The AI of the creature is astonishing - no same patterns, every single time you will get the different encounter with "it" and it's only up to you on how this encounter will end.

This is the game based on "Alien" theme i've always wanted. Overall, if you like Video Games / survivor horror / "Alien" - do your self a favor and try this game. It's the ultimate "Alien" experience.

11 out of 10. That game is just amazing. One of the best video game experience I ever had. But it's not just the amazing game, but it is one of the best thrilling blockbusters in comparison with top Hollywood movies. It's an absolute must have for every gamer, Alien franchise fan and horror/thriller games/movies fan. I'm really looking forward for the sequel.

After many games that ranged from horrible to decent, Alien fans have finally gotten the game they deserve. Alien Isolation is an excellent survival horror game that nails the atmosphere, mood, and paranoia from being on a derelict ship like the first alien.

The gameplay is great. Moving around feels natural and using items and weapons is nice and efficient. You get a wide variety of tools and weapons to help you survive, and they all can be useful rather than some being completely useless, and you can use great strategies with these items. The graphics and sounds are great too.

The survival element is the strongest. The game nails the mood and atmosphere and really makes you feel like your on that ship, especially when the Alien is around. The Alien has an amazing AI and is completely unpredictable. So you always have to be on your toes when it's around. There are also androids (which are pretty creepy) and paranoid survivors you have to deal with and while you have weapons to defend yourself, gunfire attracts the alien, so you have to be careful.

The only negative part about the game is that the later parts have many false endings and involve a lot of backtracking, which can get tiring for some. The game could have easily been 2 hours shorter, but overall, Alien Isolation is a great game and something Alien fans will love. highly recommend it.
