The thought of replaying the entire section since last save point....now that's terryfying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauji Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Finished the game or rather just gave up on it. On the things I liked first...they have nailed the atmosphere. The space center/ship, music, sights and sounds, mood...just perfect. Visuals still hold good, everything was so clean, shiny and minimalistic. Loved it, even though I am not much of a fan of the movie series. Alien's AI was impressive at times making the encounters intense. Also liked how puzzles are presented in the game. They were unique and fit right in with the vibes the game was going for. Enjoyed the first half quite a bit but later the game was dragged wayyy too much. This is compounded by the fact that all the environments are more or less same and all the missions are like to open a door/reach a room first you've go to some place to either meet someone, search for keycard or press the xyz levers..over and over and over again. Even the alien encounters lost the impact by halfway mark. Earlier I was exploring every corner of the game world, was reading through every mail to get more on the lore but later started just running past everything to the next objective just to finish the game and still lost interest. Watched the last hour or so of the game on Youtube. I think there was no need to put QTE driven cheap jump scares given how great the atmosphere of the game was. And these days I hate any game having manual saves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauji Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Manual save was the reason I left it 2 years ago & this time too left it towards the end for the same reason. With so many good games to play and gaming time getting lesser and lesser, replaying a section is a big deal breaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasnt enjoying the game for a while tbh, but still kept on playing just for the sake of finishing it. But when I had to replay a big section of the game again because of no auto-save, I completely lost the interest and motivation to continue.

gecko89 Posted September 6, 2024 Report Share Posted September 6, 2024 Little late to the party, and enjoying it, only on 5th mission now. The sound design of this game is godlike, this is what makes it so good imo. Playing with headphones on and the environment, plus xenomorph noises just keeps you at the edge.

Isolation is the best alien related piece of gaming in years, next would be the AvP games in the early 2000s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see why people bring up IGNs horrendous 5.9 review of this game so often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game wa my GOTY for that year. You will be on the edge of you seat entire time! No game can come close to this feeling of claustrophobic and atmospheric more than Alien Isolation. Metro 2033 and LL gives the same feel. Edited September 10, 2024 by zoord 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gecko89 Posted September 14, 2024 Report Share Posted September 14, 2024 Finished on hard, what a ride, glad I gave this a shot. Few android levels were a bit draggy but overall pretty solid game. Going for the plat. Looks pretty good too, hard to believe it's a 10 year old game, devs nailed the retro-futuristic design of the original alien film.
