    The ultimate horror experience. The scenery and atmosphere are really impressive and the recreation of the space environment is mind-blowing. The moments of tension are absolutely priceless.

    Intense and nerve-wracking video game that truly captures the essence of the "Alien" film franchise. Personally, "Alien: Isolation" delivered an experience like no other. From the moment I stepped into the claustrophobic corridors of the space station, I was immediately immersed in a world of constant fear and suspense.

    I love the alien movies so this game was defenitly a blast. They spend so much time creating the beautifull map and the alien is so well created because you never know when he will come. The saving system is just brutal. I dont know how many times I raged but it was fun.

    I absolutely loved everything about this game. The atmosphere kept my adrenaline going and my need to survive. Only one other horror game got my attention and that was Dead Space. I have played this game several times and will again in the future. I'd love to see remaster or remake for the newer consoles. Thanks to everyone who made this game one of my all-time favorites

It offers substantial challenge to the players so beating it provides a sense of accomplishment.
    Assets of the game:
    - great graphics faithful to original Alien movie art design,
    - Sevastopol station is the star of the show. Its has gripping history which you want to know more about. It also has a retro-futuristic good sci-fi vibe to it. Alas we'll never live long enough to see if XXII century humanity will colonize outer space and set up space stations like this,
    - it has decent enough story - without going into spoilers department - albeit the conclusion feels a bit rushed and disappointing,
    - tense atmosphere fostered by spot-on audio,
    - wide variety of tools meant to help you deal with Alien, Working Joe's and human survivors. You gradually unlock new tools to make gameplay fresh,

    Shortcomings of the game:
    - very frustrating at times. Unpredictable nature of Alien guarantees many deaths that feel cheap and unfair. You almost get an impression that certain areas were meant to frustrate player,
    - game in general is very confusing. It doesn't explain properly game mechanics. With Alien on your back the game turns into trial and error where you die again and again because you didn't know what to do or where to go. Map can be confusing as well and you can't really afford experimentation and exploration. I got really angry when I lost good chunk of progress because I got randomly killed by Alien while reading documents at terminal. As if the game was saying: "Nope, we don't want you to get immersed in the game" and sucker-punched you,
    - repetitive nature of gameplay. What you're gonna be doing all the time is restoring power, starting generators, looking for keycards and running errands for your allies. It has a lot to do with another vice which is,
    - the length of the game. The gameplay does not warrant a game this long. It could well be truncated in half. Endgame feels really forced,
    - no manual save. Saving at designated points takes time and you are extremely vulnerable while trying to save the game.

    Overall it's still a good game with some reservations. I think criticism from some reviewers (especially IGN) is valid to certain degree. After all it is an exhausting slog but perhaps that was the point of the game to begin with? After finishing the game it's a time for some reconciliation and unbiased approach therefore I give it a generous 8/10.    … Expand

It also lacks the polish that you would want from a game like this, but If you're willing to deal with these issues this is a must buy for any fan of the Alien franchise, or just someone who wants a scary experience out of a game!… Expand

    An absolute staple in horror gaming. This is one of the best fine-tuned hide and run horror games ever made. It introduces ways to fight back but keep authenticity to the Alien's true horror; as you can only ward it off, not kill it. Fans of the movies will be delightfully surprised to find that the atmosphere, sound, and overall feel put you directly into an Alien movie from the 80's!

    Needs a sequel or a PS5 upgrade.
    On XboxSX you get FPS Boost.

This is truly one of the best of the best from the horror genre.

    You might feel a bit overpowered towards the end as you can easily repel the aliens with certain weapons, but most encounters manage to be very tense and unnerving.

Even though the game world is ultimately a decaying space station on the verge of being decomissioned, with rioting residents and a murderous unseen creature, the environment is incredibly lively and well presented. It actually looks like people lived there, went through economic hardships there, and sadly had to leave their homes and start over. You have a wide range of tools and weapons, which fit the game's progression quite well. The story is driven through context dialogue and archive logs, and cutscenes are (thankfully) very scarce. Item management is a must, especially for offensive purposes. On hard setting, enemies are though and require a lot of ammo/melee hits to be neutralized, constantly worrying the player about having enough resources to avoid being overwhelmed later. The Alien is unforgiving, and just the tension it causes makes the game worth it. The story is very long (19 missions), with many twists and turns, making you wonder what will come next.

    I believe the game fails on human combat. Humans' A.I. is poor, and not at all dynamic. When they spot you they go: "I will shoot you." (3 second pause) *Pew pew*, and repeat. It breaks the "serious game" atmosphere, and makes you want to be chased by the Alien and the androids again. Shooting the head of an Android with the Bolt Gun is extremely satisfying, for example.

    Overall, great game with minor setbacks.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alien: Isolation is a great experience every gamer should play, especially genre's fans.

    Plot is consistent with Alien's universe, and add new things to the universe itself, expanding it. Sevastopol is a space station created in a credible way: it appears to be "alive" and "lived". The game's writing is good, although not exceptional. There are some fallacious points like android Samuels' sacrifice: it should hit the player emotionally, but since you only see him at the beginning of the game and a few other times during the adventure, I was not able "to feel genuinely sad for him". But overall, the plot is interesting and able to keep the player nailed to the screen til the end.

    Gameplay things done right: creating an effective survival horror experience. Alien: Isolation is a game that genuinely frighten and create constant tension, without using cheap jump scares and without having a character running around, unarmed, with a camcorder glued to the eye. "Isolation" then rejects recent sterile "no weapons survival horror" concepts and instead push the player "to face and overcome fear". Flamethrower, noisemakers and medikits are the best friends in this adventure. Flamethrower can even light small dark environments, such as air vents conduits, without having to consume flashlight's batteries. Shooting mechanics are basic but work, weapons variety is good. Crafting objects through resources is well done too, not trivial but is an important aspect of the experience. The map is effective but I would have preferred a 3D rendered map like in Dead Space. "Security Access Tuner" device minigame is fun and well integrated in Alien's universe. Gameplay elements related to things seen in the movies are also good. Great air vents conduits' design and nice using cutting torch to open sealed conduits or doors. Motion tracker's realization and use is also very well done and, indeed, essential in the game. What I appreciated the most it's the Alien's high, relentless mobility, its intelligent careful search and the sense of a predator hunting down the player: the adrenaline and the tension that the Alien is able to give is simply unique.

    What did not work? Well, some important things. I'm not satisfied with the use of rewire access points: only some functions are really useful, such as turning off lights. Since first hours of gameplay I asked myself why Amanda can't climb over objects such as boxes or railings. I understand that it's a game where you need to move slowly out of necessity, but having your feet nailed to the ground like that is just not credible and annoying. The Alien's basic functioning is simple: make noise and you will attract its attention, then you have to move slowly and carefully, trying to optimize your performance in how fast you procede in the game moving silently. That's cool. Yeah, too bad it's not always like that. In many parts of the game the Alien is a threat that does not require to be attracted at all: it doesn't matter if you played according to rules, moving slowly and silently, at some point he will appear. And it won't be a simple come and go check for the player every 5 minutes–which would be more fair–but more like a constant back and forth through the scenario, making difficult to continue the adventure. Developers said the Alien's interventions are "not scripted": well, no, that's simply not true. I understand they wanted to increase challenge in some points, but I didn't like it this way. Thus, the Alien is supposed to pose the biggest threat in the game, and it generally does, but in some cases humans and androids are even more annoying. Androids, in particular, are really too much strong and so tough to require multiple revolver headshots before they stop moving. They are immune to melee attacks, unless they are EMP stunned, and still require about a ten of hits before being disabled. And they see good enough to detect the player in a short time. There is no doubt: in some cases they are a bigger threat than the Alien.

    Graphically speaking, the game is good but nothing more. Granted, with an engine built from scratch they managed to faithfully recreate Alien's iconic atmosphere and world, with typical 1970s sci–fi artistic direction. The Alien's animations and movements are exceptional: natural, wild and spontaneous. However limits of this engine are seen in the cutscenes that show barely discreet animations and general quality. Then some graphic glitches really ruin game immersion. Sound component is great and it recreates sounds and audio atmospheres from Alien's world; some pieces are notable, like track 17, 48 and 50.

    In the end what we got with Alien: Isolation is a true survival horror game, with some unique features. Sure, it's not a perfect game, but it's still one of the best exponents of its genre and among best Alien video games. I would like another similar, and yet even better, Alien video game. But it doesn't seem to happen anytime soon.    … Expand

    I'm usually not a fan of survival horror games, but my love of the Alien movies tempted me in, and I was treated to a truly scary, visceral and atmospheric experience. Visually the game is perfection, the light and shadows consistently keep you on your toes as you're always looking for a spot where the alien might pop out and finish you off, the look and feel of the world is completely authentic to the world of the original Alien movie too, down to the tiniest details.
    and then there's the sound, this is the real star for me. you are constantly hearing subtle noises that may or may not be the alien as it hunts you through the map, you're never sure if what you're hearing was just a steam pipe hissing or the alien, you hear scurrying noises from above that make you freeze on the spot. You are engulfed in perfectly placed sound, headphones or a good home cinema is the way to go with this game for sure.
    And then, there's the big chap, the alien itself. A huge slender, terrifying nightmare of a beast, it blends in to the pipes and shadows with ease and then in a split second its chasing you down, staying hidden is key, the visuals and sounds of the alien are as terrifying as the thought it could be around any corner.
    With all that said, you cant put the game down, it has a real "just one more checkpoint" feel to it. You feel genuinely immersed in the game to the point that you'll think about the game when you're not playing it. And although you'll definitely die, a lot, it won't discourage you from trying again.
    There are very few games i would give a 10/10 rating to. but this is well deserved. I'm hoping beyond hope, that this game eventually gets a well deserved sequel.    … Expand

    As for the gameplay, it strikes a perfect balance of fear, exploration, problem solving and occasionally combat - you never actually feel safe when the Alien is around; and maintain the perfect grounding in reality - you truly feel like a fledgling human trying to survive.

The game itself recommends to play directly on Hard (as I did), and I can understand why because, albeit more difficult, it poses a more realistic challenge this way and it forces you to play wisely, hiding and saving ammunition. Even if you have not seen the original films, you may love the game as one of the best of its genre.

The level design, the art, the graphics, the music, the voice acting, the lore, EVERYTHING makes you feel like you're in the movie but this time, up the fear by 10 times. You'll get sweaty palms, heightened blood rate and holding your breath so many times and when the Alien does get you, man oh man it feels real.

    The motion detector mechanic is brilliant! Acts as both an Alien detector and as a navigator so it makes the HUD screen clean. I am a gamer who cannot stand busy HUDs and Isolation nails it.

    As I said, from a gaming perspective, the only 2 points docked off, for me, was because of it being a bit too stretched out at the end, and after a while, the Alien doesn't seem as scary as the first few encounters and instead became an annoyance. They should have done more kill/death sequences so it makes dying more scary.

    I love the scavenging gameplay where every resource and ammo counts.

    I enjoyed the hacking systems. Man some can get really tense especially with the Alien hunting you.

    I like that when you're moving around, the guns are automatically kept out of sight just as a real person would hold it by his side instead of having the weapon always taking up screen space. When you press the aim button, Ripley will whip out her weapon along with the crosshair right in front. It feels satisfying each time and more realistic. I wish more FPS games copy this.

    I loved the lore hidden in terminals, it gives the world and characters greater depth.

    I enjoyed the subtle environment story telling of the opening level. Pay attention to the interests of each crew member in their cryo chamber. I actually knew who they were before even meeting them. And was surprised by one of them. And predicted the nature of another.

    I wish the dogtags collectible could have more meaning behind them. It made collecting them less enjoyable and meaningful. I wasn't invested to go out of my way to really find them. They could've provided more lore/artwork/music/anything for collecting them instead of just a picture and job description of each missing person. Maybe there's a bonus ending or video for those who found all of them, I dunno, gotta google it.

    The game should be regarded more as a movie and as an additional part of the whole chronology.
    It obviously takes part after the first movie and just does a brilliant job in recreating the original mood and atmosphere. The level design, even small objects, the soundtrack, the whole feeling you get is just so intense and gives you the feeling of watching a movie directed by Ridley Scott.

    As the story unfolds you will of course come across some points of frustration.
    For me those experiences were, however, fairly similar to the first two movies. And that's exactly what my point is.
    You get a crazily good Alien experience for at least weeks.
    I have played the game multiple times over the years and am still finding new things.
    Essentially you can sort of create your own movie versions. The outcome will be the same, but you can decide if you are a brutal or harmless character.
    I do not know what else to say, but similar to The Last of Us, Alien Isolation gives you more than just gaming experience. It really gets you into the story. For me this is what makes a great game.
    10 out of 10 anytime.

    If you are worried about the repetitiveness of the gameplay, consider using all the gear the game gives you. There are so many ways to interact (or get rid of) NPCs, androids or even the alien itself.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bought the game for heaps cheap on the PSN store along with all DLC.

    One of the best survival horror games I've played since the 90s Resident Evil series. Wasn't very scared of the Alien movies but after playing and finishing this game made me rethink the horrors of when the Alien find its prey.

    Visuals and sound are fantastic giving you the 80s nostalgia with the old school computer GUI and grainy effects (can be removed in the options).

    Level design is good with tactical areas to hide like lockers, under desks and if you're brave enough air ducts.

    Another bit of nostalgia and to annoyance of some are save game checkpoints. There is no autosave so you need to find save points to save progress even when you change levels (found out the hard way).

    The alien AI is where it gets really frightening. It is really unpredictable, it can easily double check rooms you are in. The number of times I get caught coming out of the locker after it left the room I was hiding!

    You need to use your eyes and also your ears as their is a distinct sound when it moves, footsteps on the ground and when it is in the vents.

    Recommend to anyone who wants a scare. Bit of a change to the usual walking dead genre.    … Expand

Escaping from him is not that easy, you need to be really careful! My heart went all over the place during these sequences and leaving this thing behind was a hell of relief. This is how a survival horror needs to be done, right? It's all about surviving, do not expect a war arsenal like Resident Evil 6 to help you, things here are very scarce.
    So amazing was the level of production. Te environments are very rich, detailed and the film elements were perfectly translated to the game. The developers did a great job!

    However, even enjoying (and i really did) my playing time exploring and trying to escape from the sinvastapol station, i felt that this would have been better if it was cut 5 hours shorter. I never considered to stop, but you can clearly see that the developers put some content fillers to make it last longer. I lost account of how many times i had to cross the entire station map to turn on a power switch to open a single door located really far, and once there, turn on another switch to open another door where i was before and still have to worry about the Alien showing up and kill me before i reach a save point. Really unnecessary, frustrating and annoying moments that prevents this for being a perfect game.

    Alien: Isolation
    I got this game in 2015, about a year after its release. And it's one of my absolute favourite games of all time. The story is very well implemented and the detail is incredible. Every panel has lettering and lights. The attentions to detail is superb. The game has a fantastic storyline and it ties in to the film nicely. The thriller elements of the game are good, it has    Alien: Isolation

    That game hooked me up to my ps4 for hours and l am not even into horror,survival games. One of the best games l've ever played on my ps4. On hardest difficulty game never lets you catch a break! I had a headache when l beat the game due to high level of stress.

    This isn't a game for a passive or novice player since it will test you on how well you handle stress and takes time to try to understand the Xenomorph's world understanding and what it pays attention to. it's gritty and fascinating.

    The world takes you back to the original Alien movie very well. it's a nostalgic ride but at the same time doesn't feel that it just uses that as cover for a crappy game. The stress in this game alone is incredible. you are trying to unlock a door and you can hear something behind you. hell, you can actually feel it behind you.

    This game doesn't hold your hand and that I think is the best part. I feel some people feel it can be linear at times. I didn't feel that way except for around the first 20 minutes but to me that was them setting the stage and all the plot pieces.

    I highly recommend this game to everyone unless you scare easily or you just like a laid back game. this is not for you.    … Expand

    We FINALLY get a good alien game. The Alien's AI is so freaking awesome in this one. The game is also so terrifying at least for the first 6 hours or so and it starts to kinda loose steam, and I did feel it did drag on too long at around 14 HRS. That could of been trimmed by 2 hours or so. Still a good time though.

    Amnesia: The Dark Descent was great. It invented the genre. Everything that attempted to emulate it felt trite to the extent that i gave up on the genre. I avoided Alien: Isolation for two and a half years for that reason. The middling reviews confirmed my expectations.

    This game gave me the experience you expect from a new console. It felt like Tomb Raider or Resident Evil on PS1. Turok on N64 and Resident Evil 4 on Gamecube. It feels new and exciting. Its genuinely tense. The sound and art design are hollywood level. Beautifully presented. Remember when you bought games because they were unique and fun as opposed to having the quality of being an update or a sequel? This games a reminder of that and I'm so pissed that i allowed external influences to prevent me from playing this. The reviews are mixed because not everyone has the same experience. The a.i makes each playthrough unique. Well done sega. Games like this are the reason you invest in a games console.    … Expand

    Alien: Isolation delivers a unique, memorable and technically impeccable survival horror experience that does the revered Alien franchise proud.

It perfectly captures the essence of the original film but also transforms its formula into something new and smart that feels like a natural evolution. The game's incredible atmosphere, sound design, setting, and mechanics make you feel vulnerable and build tension masterfully, but it also gives you power and capability as you progress, rewarding your hardship and fuelling your determination to survive. It cleverly builds on the Alien universe's lore and its narrative and characters fit in well whilst moving in a compelling new direction. The Alien itself is the game's star. its design is faithful to Giger's original, and its behaviour is well conceived and unscripted (for the most part), making it unpredictable and deadly. The game has breathed new life into the Alien and its AI is the best I've experienced in a game which keeps things interesting and intense. My only criticisms are that some of the tasks you must complete to progress can get repetitive and a bit of backtracking is involved when navigating. The single player story is long, intense, and full of twists and survivor mode offers a complementary, stand-alone experience with tons of replay value. Bravo Creative Assembly!… Expand

    A beautiful game that captures the essence of Alien and even expands its fiction. There are some cracks under the polish, but it gets more right than it gets wrong. [Dec 2014, p.91]

    Alien: Isolation represents a strong return to form for an ailing franchise.

    Unlike the creature at its centre, Isolation isn't structurally perfect, but it is brilliantly hostile in a way that's likely to shock many players. [Dec 2014, p.102]
