    Surprise of the year. Awesome game, lots of tension, great atmosphere, does everything better than Outlast.. It's lenghty, so enjoyable you'll want to replay, has Survivor mode for extra replayability too. Recommended, one of the best games of the year

    Best Alien game EVER! The level of detail is amazing! Everything resembles the atmosphere from Ridley Scott´s ALIEN. Gameplay is challenging, this is not a shooter this is a true survival horror game, its kind of mix between the originals Dead Space and Resident Evil games. Can´t wait for this studio to produce a game based on James Cameron´s Aliens.

    This game is a (terrifying) love letter to any person who prefers the original Alien movie to its also fantastic sequel. Even players who don't usually like horror games will feel compelled to go on and explore the picture-perfect recreation of the dark, low-high-tech sci-fi vision of the 1979's movie, filled with CRT screens, mechanical computers and steam vents.

    This is not a shooter, so be prepared to hide, crouch through vents, and peer in horror at your motion detector as the beeping green blip comes closer and closer to you while you try to hold your breath and not make a noise.

    The game is difficult, occasionally unfair, and has a checkpoint save system that reminds me of Dark Souls' bonfires. It all works great to build an incredible level of tension and fear, but it will also be frustrating to players who don't want to try something different to modern straightforward shooters with quicksave systems.

    Technically, the game is a wonder. Graphics are the best I've ever seen, and sound is even better. Every mechanical noise will bring you back to the original movie, and the music feels dynamic and oppressive, including some cues from the original movie soundtrack. The surround audio is also brilliant, and it's just as useful as your motion detector when trying to guess where the creature is.

    I can't recommend this game highly enough for fans of the first Alien movie, OR fans of horror games. For everyone else, it will probably not be their cup of tea.    … Expand

    One of the only horror game withtrue tension and suspence. Isolation really was a masterpeice and it formula would go on to revitalise the Resident evil franchise..It's a shame we won't get a sequel thanks to many big review sites giving unfair low scores, as they always do when something original and innovative comes out..

    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

It's a scary game without being too relient on jump scares. It's what's possible, that's scary, not what is actually happening. Well, that too, actually. It's a fantastic game - not only because we finally got the Alien game we always wanted (and deserved), but also because the game itself is just so good. It combines joy and terror so magnificently. Well done, CA and Sega. A certain Randy Pitchford must be weeping into his moneybags right now. :-P… Expand

    I found being hunted by the Alien in this game to be really frightening and whenever I died the creature never did the same thing twice it changed where it walked and searched so I had to adapt to that every time.

    I'm really enjoying this game, I love the first two Alien films so I think that helps the setting is immediately familiar but also varied and interesting enough to make you want to explore it. This is the first game in years that has actually made me frightened and it's probably the first good Alien game ever.

    I have been waiting for a game such as Alien: Isolation for quite a while now. With the releases of Aliens vs. Predator in 2010, and Aliens: Colonial Marines, Isolation had a lot to make up for, and it certainly does that.

    The game is based fifteen years after the events of 'Alien' and forty-two years prior to the sequel 'Aliens'. You are in control of Amanda Ripley, the daughter of    I have been waiting for a game such as Alien: Isolation for quite a while now. With the releases of Aliens vs. Predator in 2010, and Aliens: Colonial Marines, Isolation had a lot to make up for, and it certainly does that.

    The game is based fifteen years after the events of 'Alien' and forty-two years prior to the sequel 'Aliens'. You are in control of Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Ellen Ripley (played by Sigourney Weaver, in the Alien films), was told by a Weyland-Yutani executive that the flight recorder of her mothers ship 'NOSTROMO' has been found on the 'SEVASTAPOL', a free port space station owned by the Seegson Corporation, in orbit around the gas giant KG-348.

    As the story unfolds you eventually find out that nothing is what it seems and you are being stalked by a homicidal extra-terrestrial that is impervious to all manner of weapons (except fire).
    The Alien is persistent and unforgiving in its pursuit of you. Its senses of sight and hearing are perfect for what it does best, which is to find you and kill you. The AI for the Alien is advanced, it isn't scripted so it will be very unpredictable, which makes it in turn, an extremely tense and stressful game to play.
    There are other enemies in the game, which is a great addition, as these enemies give lots of variety as well as giving you a breather from the Alien, if it isn't scripted to be in your area.
    The game is quite long in length, and is filled with Alien nostalgia for the fans, I thoroughly enjoyed the game from start to finish. But this isn't everyone's game, however.
    It's not filled with action, as most games of today are. I can understand it will get frustrating and repetitive after a while, so some people may not like it, and it's definitely not easy, even on easy.

    The games atmosphere and sound are absolutely extraordinary. The game is heavily based on the first Alien film, so it is recommended if you haven't seen the movie, to go and check it out before you play this. From the shadows to the flashing lights, to the sounds of doors opening and the alarms in the game, all seem to take you from playing the game on your sofa, to putting you in the shoes of Amanda Ripley against her struggle for survival.
    The music in the game is 10/10. It was composed perfectly. It borrows a lot from the movie, but it also changes it somewhat, making it somewhat eerier that the motion picture. An example would be, when the Alien is near, the music will definitely get louder and more tense, which will let you know as a player, to find a locker and hide!

    The graphics for the Xbox One version of the game are great! The only issue I have with this game is that I have a few frames per second problems in some areas of the game when there is a lot happening, but not a big deal.

    The ability to craft items to distract your foe is essential to your survival on the higher difficulties. But don't use these items all the time, as the Alien will adapt to your methods of distraction and ignore them, probably searching for where it was thrown, rather than where it landed.

    If you have little knowledge of the Alien franchise for a whole, I would say rent the game. But for true fans of the franchise, this game will keep you engaged from start to finish.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alien Isolation is an impressive take on the 70s film "Alien" with next gen quality visuals on last gen tech, a sense of true horror, terrifyingly simple but extremely difficult A.I., and if you got the Nostromo Edition, you're in for a real treat.

    You play as Amanda Ripley "daughter of Ellen Ripley" and a strong female lead. The story has you along in a decollate mall ship paradise thing in Jupiter's Orbit know only as Sevastopol. Sevastopol is now a home of the Xenomorph and the rest of the crazed survivors. You must go through many tricky and interesting puzzles that will test your patience and fear factor level. Oh and this game is not meant for the impatient because if you make one wrong move you'll either get killed or go through an insane attempt at escaping. Don't bother escaping from the Alien. You'll get caught up to because the thing is fast AF and its impossible to kill. Don't even friggin' run in this game. That's how sensitive the A.I.'s hearing is in this game is. The A.I. is very advanced in this game and difficulty is definitely on the hard end. The game is about 10 hours long and you can't go once at anytime without dying unless you're going for the achievement.

    The scenery feels like were something when down hard. The atmosphere and music is tense and terrifying keeping you on your toes making sure you don't die and you will hallucinate plenty of times thinking the Xenomorph is lurking in your bedroom right now in fact. The game maybe a single place to go kind of game but the game's environments are actually more open than what anyone expected. Most of the stuff that's blocked off are available to be unlocked after you've got the right tool for the job. Heck the stuff you find later on. You can go back to the beginning of the game and unlock the blocked off areas. I haven't even found what's back in the beginning yet because story.

    If you got the Nostromo Edition (like I got), you play as the original cast. You start in the scene after they discuss the Alien and you have to close off the area without getting killed. I don't know how it ends because I keep getting killed.

    Pros:
    Excellent Story
    Advanced A.I.
    Amazing Graphical Detail

    Much as expected from a survival/horror experience. An eerie atmosphere with plenty of sudden bumps to keep you on your toes. Most pose real threats and shouldn't be ignored. Alien noises are spot on from the films.

    GRAPHICS

    Lots of detail with excellent smoke effects and lightning. Isolation is one of the best looking games so far this gen.

    STORY

    Objectives can feel tedious at times but it maintains a fair level of urgency from beginning to end. There's plenty of easter eggs for fans of the film series.

    This game deserves more than an 8, I'd rate it 8.9 if possible. Death seemed unavoidable at times when being hunted by the alien but using different tools and strategies to survive never got old.

    What is happening?
    What kind of danger is in there?
    Are you going to find answers to the disappear of your mom?
    This is soooooooo SATISFYING and well implemented!
    This is exactly what a storytelling is about.
    The progression of the storyline is also so so good! Step by step you are exploring the spaceship and the danger. Slowly you get a sense what it could be. It hypes you hours until you finally see the xenomorph first time and now you FEEL the danger! After that you realise that you have to escape, you have to survive, because you now, the xenomorph is the perfect hunting creature and its better than you, smarter then you and can kill you every damn second of the game!
    That is, what Alien Isolation makes such a MASTERPIECE!

    Though it's not flawless, Isolation is certainly one of the best games in the franchise, and I'm damn impressed with what The Creative Assembly has managed to pull off.

    Thrilling from start to finish, Alien: Isolation is the game fans of the franchise have long been waiting for. [Issue#255, p.57]

    Alien: Isolation embraces Ridley Scott's original vision, delivering us a claustrophobic survival horror experience with a good stealth side. Unmissable for every Alien and sci-fi horror lover.
