    Очень атмосферная и страшная игра. Это именно survival horror. Атмосфера опасности и безнадежности первого Чужого передается прекрасно. На Станции "Севастополь" царит запустение и безнадега - оборудование не работает, все искрит, часть коридоров в темноте, остатки персонала пытаются выжить, сбиваясь в агрессивные банды, и каждый сам за себя.. Все время игрок чувствует незащищенность,Очень атмосферная и страшная игра. Это именно survival horror. Атмосфера опасности и безнадежности первого Чужого передается прекрасно.

Все время игрок чувствует незащищенность, понимает, что за ним всегда охотятся.. Все на станции враждебно - и агрессивный выживший персонал, и сошедшие с ума андроиды, и неработающая техника, и ползающая по вентиляции инопланетная тварь.. Всегда думаешь, откуда в следующий раз выпрыгнет Чужой? Из вентиляции наверху? На стене? Из двери? Или просто из темноты?.. Прекрасная проработка деталей, типа ленточных магнитофонов, древних компьютеров, плакатов в стиле 60-х. Типа альтернативное будущее, как в Фоллауте:) Expand

    It's a scary good game. I think everyone should play it at least once and finish it, even if some parts are too difficult and frustrating.

    This is the most tense game I ever played in my life! Even tho it's 2014 game graphics are still great and gameplay smooth. Everything in this game is made to be perfect stealth game, no jumping option, slow movement and fast hideout. On top of that when you add amazing horror background music, environment audio, futuristic interior design with computers resembling late 70's etc. thats aThis is the most tense game I ever played in my life!

No distractions with extra fancy stuff, in Alien Isolation less is more. Sega did overkill with this one! 10/10 Expand

    A really good and scary game. Took some time to get into at the beginning but a worthwhile journey. Enjoyed it a lot.

    The game is on of the best horror games ive ever played. The enviroment, audio, every little attention to detail is amazing. The AI can be a bit frustrating sometimes but once you get past that you get a good but not perfect game. As for the dlc, its not good. I felt the dlcs were way to short and lack value.

    It is absolutely amazing. I think there is not a lot to talk about it. Every single thing is perfect in this game. Very good example of Masterpiece...

    I'm not a fan of horror games. Survival horror? Oh yea, give me more of that, but just horror on it's own? I'll pass. Straight horror is boring, and often gross. I don't like boring and gross things.

    Which is why I was shocked to find out that Alien Isolation is the pinnacle of it's genre. I've never played a spaceship mechanic stress simulator before, but this game made me want more.

    It's a cool game, with very good graphics, good game-play and story. Only thing I didn't like was somewhere at the end where you had to attack it with the fire to further. I didn't really understand why and didn't really wanted to cuz the most time before I tried to not get in touch in any way with the alien.

    The Best Solo Action Game 2014,
    I was never so scared
    it took me 34 hours on hard, it's amazing
    Mission 9 is such a cool change and flashback that I have to watch the films again
    I'm getting all the DLCs now and trying to unlock all the achievements =D GJ Creative Assembly

    This game makes you crawl like a goddamn worm, in constant fear of being squashed. I was scared to leave the closet I was hiding in, because the monster was somewhere out there. [Dec 2014, p.68]

    The Creative Assembly’s game, however, is cooked; left to boil so long it loses all flavor and texture. For 10 hours, Isolation is one of the best horror games ever made, until a second, poorly made game bursts out of its heart.

    Alien Isolation can be frustratingly difficult at times, but nevertheless it’s easily the best game in the Alien franchise since the original Aliens vs Predator. The fact that the game mimics perfectly the 1970s look and sci fi stylings of Ridley Scott’s Alien film makes the experience even more endearing. By featuring absurd number of “surprise” twists, Alien Isolation’s final act could’ve used some trimming. [Nov 2014]
