Alien Isolation Fan Reviews

Man I really do love this game, I think it has a great story to the original film and it has the gameplay that is perfect for this game, I really do wish that this game would've have better sales

The fall of Hadley's Hope would make for a perfect sequel to Isolation, and could be a very very long game again too, which is great.

Btw, looks like somebody thought likewise:

This game still looks good and scares people 8 years later.

I adore this game, believe it's the best Alien game to date, especially modded, but besides Stompy having their footsteps be too loud, I also find another thing unfortunate. I love the fear and mood it creates, but neither in the movies, nor realistically would anyone be able to hide from the Aliens. You can't do that from most predators cause of their sense of smell, so I'm certain you wouldn't be able to from an Alien, not for long, that's why you have to be on the move constantly. I always preferred the interpretation "you can run, but you can't hide".

After seeing this video, I especially got reminded of that. Spoilers, almost impossible to escape:

@Corporal Hicks Ten year anniversary is coming up isn't it? Thinking of putting together a retrospective? I'd be totally into that.

I reviewed this game a while ago over on my channel. LOVED this game so much! I just found exploring a story through the eyes of Ellen Ripley's daughter really compelling and the game is such a stressful experience (in a good way) it does everything I want an Alien game to do. Alien 79 scared the life out of me as a kid, Isolation terrified me as an adult.

Side note, the inner fan/geek is hoping for a nod/reference to Amanda Ripley in Romulus, considering how close the timeframes align.

Isolation takes place 15 years or so after Alien, so Romulas would only be 5 years later if it is indeed 20 years after Alien/

Indeed. It fills out that part of the timeline nicely and gives more depth to her photograph in Aliens. Such a tragic mind game how during all of Isolation her mother is in cryo sleep, and remains that way through all of Amanda's life. It's always a head trip how young Ellen looks in comparison to her daughter too. Great story, great game.

All right, After a lot of time playing it, I think I'll give down why this game is great, but it also has some faults to it too.

Gotta say in isolation is a great experience even for it faults. Like the Story could've been better, Like the characters feels under develop, but there are some good moments with Amanda getting closure. However, Other than that, everything else is great From graphics to gameplay.

9.2/10 is the rating I'll give it, truly, a spiritual sequel to the original alien movie.

Love this game to bits and just had a video recommended to me about the queen being on the station. Sends shivers down my spine thinking she was somewhere in the depths of Sevastopol. Also the sound design in the hive is CREEPY
