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.
