The introduction of human/human-ish enemies was cause for concern with many, however, fearing Isolation could drop its survival horror trappings and go full-on shooter.

Not so, as Napper said: “You can get through the entire game without killing someone. It’s something that was, not so much a challenge, but something I felt was what the character would do. We’re talking about a member of the Ripley family – they’re not like characters in games that gun down civilians because they’re in the way to get to the switch.”

Pretty cool, not enough games let you do this.

Figured a thread to post random impressions from people who've played the latest build would be a good idea:

This article makes the game sound perfect. I hope it is.

That's based off the original demo, isn't it? I really had impressions based off the latest build in mind.

Another happy tester (latest build).

"...It really looks like The Creative Assembly has nailed this one. The preview build has some dodgy lip-syncing and very rare minor glitches, but it held my attention for hours, and exploring the lovingly detailed environments of the Sevastopol and logging into its monochromatic terminals is a nerve-wracking joy. This is a game that requires patience and steely reserve, but it's also one whose rewards appear to be plentiful."
