Gamesradar- Is Alien: Isolation for everyone? Perhaps not. If you demand reassurance, telegraphed threats, predictable solutions, and an inherent, hand-holding sense of ‘fairness’, you might find the experience too much to handle. But those of you brave enough--those of you tired of existing video game approximations of survival and horror, and craving a real test of your skills, instincts and nerves--will find a bounty of thrilling, engrossing, profoundly fulfilling rewards. If you truly embrace it, then during its most powerful moments, Alien: Isolation will probably make you feel more alive than a video game has in years.
If you've got an Alien itch you can't quite scratch until Alien: Rolumus releases, GameSpew has rounded up the best Alien games to tide you over.
Fans (myself included) are clamouring for a direct sequel to this fantastic game and hope for an Alien: Isolation 2. But will this great game ever get another instalment?
tbh it doesn’t need a sequel. Fantastic game but not something to make into a long running series.
Also included are Alien: Isolation, Dead Island Definitive Edition, Outlast 2, and more.
Good month imo. I'll play Gotham Knights and House of Ashes. I'm finishing up Disco E on Steam right now - that's a superb game.
Good reviews all around. From what I've seen in some streams, it's a game I'd have fun with. I will give this a try.
This review gives me a stiffy to play this game, can not wait for october 7
Its becoming more and more apparant that with all these high scores, Gamespot and IGN probably sucked so hard at the game they decided to whine about it instead of praising the game as it deserves.
That IGN review is sounding more and more off by the minute. It just seems that he wasn't very good at it and didn't get that you aren't meant to be able to defend yourself from the Alien. That is the whole point.
Not to mention the fact that he criticised the Aliens 'unpredictable' AI. That is kind of the point. It is a predatory alien.
I've seen lots of 8s and 9s for this game, yet, ign and gamespot gave this game below a 7..... I'm getting this game...those guys can go to hell
