I initially dropped this game years ago because I was too jumpy and also kept dying to the alien. After a recent binge of the Alien movies, I decided to give it another shot, and I’m really glad I did. It’s extremely frustrating at times, but this is worth enduring for the pitch perfect recreation of one of the best sci-fi worlds of all time. Everything from the suits, the cassette futuristic tech, the music, even the weirdly complicated mechanisms to open doors and operate machinery; it's all represented with such a care for detail that I never got tired of. The game is also genuinely scary, usually from unscripted moments where the alien or synthetics will catch you off guard and you have only seconds to react. Things get much more manageable once you have access to more weapons and tools, but I still found myself jumping in my seat in the back half of the game. I wasn’t a fan of some of the resource management, and sometimes sections can drag or feel repetitive, but if you’re in the mood for some Alien, there’s nothing better to play.

Alien Isolation is a great survival-horror packed together with an interesting story and a terrifying nigh-invincible antagonist stalking your every move. Level design is tight and well thought out with plenty of room for a smart player to maneuver themselves safely amidst the constant alien threat.

A lot of the more interesting environmental elements and storytelling take a backseat once the Alien comes into play since after that you never really get any time to take in the area. This is a plus on the survival-horror side but for me takes away from the exploration aspect that I tend to enjoy from these games.

Graphics are surprisingly great for a 2014 game with some of the best lighting and reflection detail that I've seen even today. Audio design is also amazing with some great performances from the voice actors alongside a stunning soundtrack that while sometimes drowning out important sounds (like footsteps for instance) always intensify the already terrifying atmosphere.

Yeah I really enjoyed this game. Though I can't say I was ever a massive Alien, Predator, or AVP fan I will say that this is the best game to come out of that mix of franchises and far exceeds your typical movie-game tie in. At least in my eyes it definitely does its franchise justice and is a must play for fans of Alien or just survival-horror fans in general.

3.5/5

Uma verdadeira aula de edição de som, Alien Isolation faz uso criativo e inteligente de seu material original, capturando perfeitamente a sensação de medo e incapacidade do primeiro filme.
O gameplay não foge muito dos clássicos Survivor Horror, mas nem precisa, a perspectiva em primeira pessoa e a impossibilidade de realemente causar dano ao Xenomorfo só reforça o sentimento de fraqueza diante do Alien.
A história segue um formato cinemático que funciona muito bem com a franquia, a conexão feita entre a personagem principal e o primeiro filme é inteligente e não mexe com os eventos do filme. Alien Isolation oferece uma experiência de terror autêntica, agradando não apenas fãs da franquia, mas também amantes do gênero.

Nunca senti tanto medo com alguma coisa, o sentimento de solidão e agonia é assustador. Acho que esse é o estilo de terror que mais me pega e realmente acaba com meu mental kkkkkkk eu tava com medo antes do alien sequer aparecer. Experiência absurda. Isso tudo é falando sobre o começo e metade da história, a sequência final do jogo é muito decepcionante. Senti que todo esse sentimento de medo desapareceu e restou um jogo de terror esquisito. Seria mais legal se a protagonista conseguisse fugir no meio do jogo ou sei lá, pro foco ser mais na experiência de ter algo te perseguindo sorrateiramente.

Very well crafted game that I think is made for someone else.

This game's strongest moments are those of horror. The seconds where you're completely helpless, hiding from the Xenomorph, listening to all the little noises it makes and everything around you to try and keep track of it. Figuring out what times are safe to move and what times you need to stay put. All of that stuff is great.

Unfortunately after dying a couple times it quickly becomes more tedious than scary. I'm no longer afraid, I'm annoyed and I've just seen the same Xenomorph kill animation for the fifth time. All of the tension is deflated as soon as I die a couple times.

Add that along with the fact that the dialogue, while not awful, reads as pretty uninspired and the fact that the stealth sections featuring humanoid or android enemies feel worse to play means that I'm not going to keep playing to see what Amanda Ripley gets up to next.
