Its hard to believe that 1 year after the release of Aliens Colonial Marines - a game that didn’t overly release to positive reviews, feedback, or … well we already know my thoughts on that game - but 1 year after Colonial Marines, we got without a doubt the best Alien game to ever release, as well as one of the best survival horror games too in my opinion with in Alien Isolation.
with Alien Romulus coming out soon, a movie that like Alien isolation is set between 1979’s Alien and 1986’s Aliens - I thought why not go back and take a look at this masterfully made Alien game.

It's THE best movie>game adaptation ever made and feels like a true sequel to Alien.
no it itsn't you cheesey toenail
So Aliens is just a joke to you? smfh :(
ONE of the best. Mad Max is still the best.
And just like Alien Isolation, many people didn´t even hear about it.
@@Adam-082 Think about it, Aliens makes a damn fine sequel to Isolation.
@@rogeriopenna9014 I played it for about an hour, pretty generic open world stuff
It still amazes me that it was Creative Assembly behind this, a dev that never created anything like it before. One could even argue it remains their best creation to date.
saw rumors that they're doing a total war Star Wars game the other week - that'd be kinda rad. The Total War Warhammer games were pretty fun too.
Another interesting aspect is that Creative Assembly Total War series is great in every aspect except the AI. Their AI has been downfall at times. It was most notorious in Empire: Total War where they made a game with a huge naval aspect in the 1700s but the AI was incapable of sending armies across the sea or doing Amphibious attacks. Heck, you can play England on it and take Paris in the first 3-4 turns and eliminate France.
Well sometimes you must give a product to someone who’s never done a similar product before, they have fresh eyes and don’t follow the usual rules, with luck they create something great and unique. Veterans rarely innovate, they are just comfortable doing things the same way.
@robbylebotha it's definitely a high-risk, high reward situation. Either the inexperienced devs make a masterpiece or they don't get it and it fails. Very glad this was an example of a masterpiece
SEQUEL CONFIRMED!!! REJOICE!!! :D
Still amazes me out of nowhere Creative Assembly were like "right guys hardcore first-person survival with immersive sim elements".
This. How a company that specializes in strategy war simulators out of blue decides to make the best alien game ever is such a cool feat. I would love to be at that salespitch for the alien game internally in CA.
Agreed. That came out of nowhere and not only they decided to make it but they absolutely killed it. And on top of that they've created one of the best ( still highly acclaimed ) AI for a game. I rarely see Angry Joe as happy as he was when reviewed this game lol
@@neutchain7838 That dude is like an embarrassing mascot of the worst kind of gamer from that era.
For those who are not familiar with it, the AI on the alien basically has two brains. There is one AI that is the creature itself, which is actively hunting you down and is limited to only what the Alien can perceive, while the other is a larger scale one, which basically just keeps track of things like where you and the alien are both located, and basically gives the alien "hints" to try to find you if it starts to get too far away from you. The latter's purpose is basically to heighten tension while also keeping the game fair enough that it's still playable.
I honestly think we got Romulus because of Alien Isolation. Of course I haven't seen the movie but the trailers have such an Isolation vibe.....someone HAD to have played it.
The director actually confirmed the Isolation was a big influence
Theres even an emergency phone in one of the scenes from isolation
@@blackdeth818I heard they put the phone around in film as a little hint shit is going to go down a little nod to the game
Honestly, Romulus owes a bit more to Alien: Resurrection than it does Isolation. But the game did influence the architecture of the Renaissance station the film takes place on.
Well, so much of an inspiration that the save phone boots make an appearance and they actually serve a purpose for the story, foreshadowing when shit's about to go down.
Man I'd kill for another isolation style game.
There's an upcoming jurassic park survival horror game that looks like it will be similar to Isolation in gameplay !
@@okarymDon’t get my hopes up.
Yeah, something similar to isolation/trespasser.
That moron at IGN giving the game a 5.9 out of 10 ruined any chances of that. crazy how one review can do that but it did
Terminator Survivors HOPEFULLY will be like this, fingers crossed!!
No, you are not going to load when the Alien is right behind you. After saving there are few seconds where Alien is locked to spawn
Yeah.
Same happens in *Syndrome* the videogame. But the enemies could be dodged.
Or, in other words, alien resets. It may appear after you load back into the game, or it may not. I've experienced both.
Not for me
Correct. If you save and reload the Alien resets.
Also he said the Alien can't get hurt by the revolver. This is also not true. The revolver can stun the Alien if you shoot it in the head. It's just that shooting it anywhere else will only do very little damage. You will see this though because the Alien will bleed acid and have gunshot wounds on its body.
The shotgun can also stun the alien but with the shotgun you're not limited to headshots only.
Yeah as soon as he started on this tangent I was like, no, that's absolutely not how that works when you reload from a save. The alien resets.
Nice review, the only criticism I have is the claim that "if you save with the Alien right behind you, you're gonna load with the Alien right behind you" - loading the game resets the Alien's position. The trick is to not get killed before the question box appears.
Cheers mate 🍻 - and fair point
Also you can't save with the alien behind you given that the save phone stop working when enemies are nearby
You can reload the previous save anyway
It does work when there's enemies nearby, it just warns you when you use it@stefanogandino9192
This game is an absolute masterpiece!! It is one of my top 5 all time favorite games. Not to mention that I’ve been a huge fan of the Alien franchise since the 80’s. It is the perfect homage to the original!!!
hope i did one of your favorite games justice my dude
I'm 46 years old and not much of a gamer, but without a doubt I can say that this is the greatest video game I have ever played in my life bar none.
This game is one of my all-time favourites. Whenever I'm bored, I jump into it to play hide and seek with the alien. It's super fun, even on Nightmare.
Hope I did one of your favorite games justice my dude
This game is anything but fun, and I never flinch at horror games.
Playing on hard is the best and truest way to play. It's the most well balanced for survival horror. Nightmare is gimmicky and just doesn't give you any resources
@@BlackopolypsePodcastsandMediado you want a cookie?
@@BlackopolypsePodcastsandMediayou sound like a mega dork
This game holds up even now, there’s nothing really like it. IGN were cracked for that review. I’ve heard people say they played a large role in the cancel of a sequel
Hope we get some kind of sequel someday
If Sega had paid them for an IGN first spot it would have got a 9
I can't believe how good it still looks. The lighting is so well done.
Hope Romulus has a scene where a character gets snuffed out by a xeno because the wife walks in and unknowingly loudly announces she's home.
ActuaLOL
This game always feels like it came out a couple years ago to me. There is just such an amazing art design and atmosphere to it that it still looks phenomenal
@@adamdavis1737 the environment and atmosphere is brilliant - really sells the world and horror
I really hope Alien: Romulus follows the Isolation recipe: the teaser trailer shows a flare being thrown what really made me hopeful.
Also: ten years, this game still looks absolutely stunning.
Fingers crossed it's a good movie mate
I'll second that bud! @DudiReviews
Defo, for a 10 year old game the enviroments are still awesome, the lighting and atmosphere, still very playable in the dark for max effect, Romulas being set between Alien and Aliens, but so far no mention of Amanda, feel it would be a waste of an oppertunity not to have her in it at some capacity.
The Romulus director said Isolation inspired him so lets hope so
The director said it was inspired by isolation
So i played this game back in 2014, and after completing it i swore never to play it again. Not because it was bad but because of how scary it was. However, i am currently replaying this game. I would also like to point out that i only just realised the motion tracker tells you where to go. Great vid.
@@AdamT-88 enjoy your second playthrough my dude! 🍻
This game puts you in that world, and everything in that world is trying to kill you. Truly a scary fun game.
Similar to Ridley Scott disowning the Director's Cut of Alien, IGN really should disown their review. If anything, have someone else do another review of this. They're entitled to their opinion, but man oh man, they probably still regret their score.
@DorisDay-lw4xsI think he’s referring to David Fincher and the Assembly Cut of 3
Why would Scott disown his own director's cut? The one Fox released in theaters back in 2003??? He of course prefers the original cut, but he actually calls both "director's cuts". Because he edited both versions! He did not disown his own cut!
What are you talking about lol Ridley Scott has not disowned any version of Alien
@@EVO6- I heard he said the reason the deleted scenes from Alien were deleted was because they slowed down the pacing during Ripley's escape in the last act of the story, and that the theatrical cut is how he intended it to be. The studio added the deleted scenes and called it a director's cut, but it's not really the "director's" cut.
I haven't watched or trusted IGN since then and I feel sorry for people who do
It's still insane to me that there's people brave enough to play this in VR
@@Wynorrific yeah that's bonkers
Perhaps doctors should prescribe that as a cure for constipation.
I did, twice, and believe me, it's not for the faint of heart. It's a terrifying but amazing experience.
🫥🫥
That's a heart attack waiting to happen....
Alien Isolation is an underrated gem man! It captured the feel of the first movie perfectly, Sevastopol station felt like a lived in place, the atmosphere was top notch, one of my all time favorite games 👏👏👏👏👏
@@anasshahid224 exactly my dude. Might be one of my favorite if not my favorite horror game
@@DudiReviewsspot on bro! No game comes close in terms of atmosphere!
Portable motion trackers were introduced in Alien. They're the things that Ash says cue on 'micro changes in air density'. It's the device that they're using to track Dallas when he goes into the air vent. It's quite large but has a screen with a display on the top.
The alien would reset after saving. Never spawned with it in my face straight away.
I'm pretty sure that was adjusted later in a patch. I've seen footage of that a few times.
Speed runners talk about this frequently and use this for getting through certain sections.
Two Alien games I recommend.
1) Alien Isolation
2) Alien Vs. Predator 2
The start of the alien campaign was always my favorite
AvP2 was so good.
1. AVP (NeoGeo)
2. Alien Isolation
3. AVP 2
@@Gravastar7 There is no AVP on NeoGeo. But there is one made by Capcom on CPS2 arcade system.
Alien Isolation is an underrated gem, the atmosphere is absolutely top notch, Sevastopol Station has such a sense of place, feels like a real lived in location, so much history, lore and environmental storytelling, the graphics are stunning, the Alien with its adaptable AI, learning and changing its behavior from your encounters, the entire game captures the vibe of the first Alien movie perfectly. One of my all time favorite games.
Might be my favorite survival horror game. It's still frightening on a replay
@@DudiReviews absolutely bro! The atmosphere is top notch! Really frightening 💯
I just wanted to note, at 18:35 in the video, the camera spotted you (with ridiculous range, I didn't even know it could see you from that distance), which alerted the Alien to come down to attack. The camera was not spotting the Alien in the vent. When the Alien is in the vent, the Alien model is actually not even there. The Alien appearing on the motion tracker is physically not present if the Alien is in the vent, it is sort of like just working itself in the background. Good review though! Certainly more fair than IGN. lol
@@shylenfusion8010 cheers my dude 🍻
If only we could get a 60fps update for PS5
I just started playing today for the first time, and adjusting to the 30fps was hard.
Just got the game for £4 4k 120fps oled screen pc..... atmos for headphones ,nice headphone amp and a pair of ft3 headphones amazing
If only there were other platforms that allow you to play the game at 60fps. Oh wait… there are.
@@happyspaceinvader508 which I have. I prefer the convenience of a console however.
@@rlacombe I have it on Xbox Series X and it upgrades it to 60 fps 👍
Fireteam Elite and Dark Descent were both great. Loved them both.
Yeah, just sad no one is playing fireteam anymore cause there are just a few maps and game has become repetitive af
couldn't overly get around Dark Descent - there is a fireteam elite video on the channel
Dark descent surprised me and I got hooked
Fireteam got samey and had meh AI but the art direction was strong and shooting was satisfying. So far I'm loving Dark Descent, its surprisingly hooking (if a little buggy).
@@Rain-me8fd Fireteam's art direction was rather generic but in terms of in-game models it was more advanced than previous Aliens games.
😂😂😂 the bbq Homer clip had me in tears 😭🤣🤣🤣
ah wicked! glad you got a laugh mate!
Same. I could not stop laughing
The whiplash scene works so perfectly with the ign review score lmao
@@_SacredNemesis cheers dude. Was pretty happy with that one
I had a copy waiting for me when it was released in October 2014 and I still play it to this day.
Right on my dude 🍻
I played this for the first 2 months of 2024 for my first time. Hell i had so much fun. I did not use the handheld thing in to see where the Alien or Anything else was. I justed listened to the music and noises around me and i beat the game without dying. Thisbhas become my nr 1 Horror game over Resident Evil 3 and 4 Remakes. Would have loved to have seen another One of the Alien games like this.
Play on Nightmare and it takes the motion tracker away from you
The platinum for this game is crazy
Saw one of the achievements is finish the game without getting killed - damn
@@DudiReviews tbf - you can cheese it through save system, and it doesn't force you to play on the hardest difficulty
I done it. It's not too crazy compared to some other games.
@@TaxemicFanatic same. Did it on Normal with reloading the save exploit back in the day.
Now, doing it legit tho...that's a different story I imagine. Especially on smth like Nightmare. And that's smth I am eager to do heh.
@@ЯношБан I did it on nightmare. Alien is my favourite movie of all time and I'm actually watching it right now 😅 finding all logs was also a challenge.
Very well made survival horror that makes you feel like you are inside the 1979 alien universe.
The attention to detail and the love put into this title is not something we see very often.
Gotta say we are kinda starved and need more titles like this one.
If you use the AA mod on pc to clean up the image this game looks so damn good even today.
TEN YEARS!?
@@zevrs5800 I know right
Good to see that this game is getting more and more praise over time. I'm an Aliens fans myself so naturally I loved the game, but this game nails the alien look and feel of the fitsy movie and is mechanically put very well together.
I do hope we'll get a sequel down the road.
yup.... and they buried it. 'cause reasons.
8:25 well that's a lie or a very poor observation on your part. If you save and the Alien kills you while in the middle of the save, when you reload, the Alien will not respawn to instantly rekill you, it will be back in the ducts, somewhere. As for dying after the animation has finished... that's not a thing either. Game gives you time to alter the outcome. Also, the Alien AI doesn't repeat the same action when it loses line of sight. It's random. So, you can do the same exact thing, and the Alien's actions won't always be the same. Basically the game's save system is designed not to soft lock you. Now.. if ur playing the hardest difficulty... well that's on u. not the game.
And btw, it’s INSANE on iPhone. They nailed it
Partner: Honey I'm home.
Alien: Oh really now? Thank you for your cooperation.
@@serathaevistille995 I legit got killed from a "honey I'm home" too ha ha
Immediately subscribed after that Bean Movie bit, lmao
Haha cheers dude glad you enjoyed it. I generally tend to put memes in all my reviews
I replay this every 6 months or so. And using the MotherVR mod it’s just even more scary. And the unpredictable Alien mod just makes it even better.
I feel safer in the game than in Canberra haha 🤣
ActuaLOL about being safer in an alien VR modded game than Canberra haha
Have you played it in VR yet with the MotherVR mod that was based on the actual VR code in the game (they wanted to add it but scrapped it during development)
Only thing you have to make sure of is that you turn off screenspace reflections as those don't work well in VR, but the entire game can be played in VR and it's one of the best but also most terrifying things I've ever experienced
i haven't checked that out but a few have suggested it in the comments - seems great, but pure nightmare fuel haha
Considering Alien Isolation is one of the best ports to Nintendo Switch and smart phones I think if they simply did a remaster of the original game that gave you a more natural VR experience (can use your hands) and remove head-tracking for cut-scenes and get it ported to something like the Quest 3 headset it would be a MASSIVE success.
You always know, a working Joe.
Playing Fireteam elite after Isolation, I shoot all Working Joe's that I find, my vengeance against them is unending XD
to sleep perchance to dreeeaabbbzt
Most other Alien games, even the good ones, feel like you’re playing a game.
Isolation feels like you’re playing the role of the protagonist in what feels like an honest to god sequel to the original Alien set before the events of Aliens.
It feels like a long miniseries or movie. It doesn’t feel like a game. The setting, the tension, the score and (especially) the incredible lighting and sound design feel like something done by a very talented movie studio.
Nothing else like it
This is a really great, thorough review!
I have to say all the audio memes felt like jump scares! I don’t think you need so many.
@@karawelchharp cheers my dude. I probably went a bit too much with the memes in this video compared to others
I've seen one of the devs on a podcast years ago who said Fox handed over terrabytes of stuff to them. Tons of pics, behind the scenes diaries, logs, concept arts, the entire audio library containing every single sound effect from both movies never used footage, etc... They've done nothing for months but going over the stuff geeking out on all that juicy material and they've actually changed some stuff in order to be able to incorporate some of that into the game.
I played it 2 times. Once ten years ago with my best friend, we were switching controller and it was so good. We were screaming in terror, hearts thumping and breathing hard all the time ! Sometimes we were too scared to continue, that was just an awesome experience and I absolutely agree with your statement; it felt real and immersive in a way that most game don't achieve anymore. I played it again a few years later and was super scared AGAIN even though I knew what was coming. This game is just good 😊
@@Monanged sounds like you had a great experience with it mate! 🍻🍻
Went back to AI recently to finish the platinum.
I bought this game on release day and it took me 10 years to go back to it 🤣
Great gameplay, great story, still holds up as a great game 10 years later and the platinum is still so rare... I think it's a 0.6% still.
The one shot trophy was hard without the no death glitch. Then it took me ages to be killed 100 times while playing through on Nightmare difficulty 🤣
I just started playing this game on PC, I’ve never played it before lol.
Downloaded the HD texture mods and it makes it even better. Great game so far 👍
Can you guide me on how to get these mods please, my G?
We have gotten so many alien games including that VR one coming out, we need a sequel to this it’s so insane
@@eldongrimes2306 wasn't there a phone game that was related to isolation or something too?
It's the best thing in the whole Alien franchise since 1986. And yes, I've seen Romulus, which is just a mismash of fan service to the point of being ridiculous.
Alien Isolation has aged like fine wine and honestly far scarier than many modern horror games. The story, level design, Alien AI, feeling of constant tension and dread, and overall game mechanics are absolutely amazing. However, I’m pretty sure the nest mission took a few years off my life when I first played it. I will never forgive the gaming websites for giving this game such a low score and robbing us of a sequel. This game is easily in the top ten horror games of all time and will continue to reward those who play it with an experience they’ll never forget.
@@DarthVader1273 well said my dude 🍻
When he said that his girlfriend of ten years ago is his wife now, I felt happy for him.
Ten years of blessings. He has come a long way.
@@aramisy.cajigas744 thanks mate 🍻🍻
What?! It's 10 years old already?
@@KilljoyTDA baffled me when I found out too
Faces aside, it aged really well. It deserves a real non-mobile sequel, as they left Amanda's arc very open :l
@@KilljoyTDA wonder if Alien Romulus will make any reference to isolation too.
Maybe but I don't expect more than an easter egg that won't add anything to her story :/
Alien Isolation is in the tier 1 canon, making it definitive canon. Simply put, it’s in the same level of canon as Alien,Aliens,Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection. Meanwhile, Aliens Colonial Marines is in both tier 3(semi-canon) and 4(myth and legends). As explained by the franchise consultant for 20th Century Studios Andrew EC Gaska, the creatures and technology in Aliens Colonial Marines is canon, while story is non canon
10 years ago, 10 years from now.. a masterpiece
i remember when i played it when it launched on ps4 its creepy, gona play it on pc soon
@@RKB-craftGaming enjoy my dude!
SEQUEL CONFIRMED!!!!!
@@dragonsnackproductions happy days!
@@DudiReviews indeed!!! I feel like a 31 again 😁hahaha
Im gonna be straight up honest, I cant play this game. Not because of the difficulty, the anxiety, or anything like that, no, its because i love the xenomorph's movements, the walking animations and all that so much I find myself dying all the time cuz im too busy trying to watch it
@@Ryou_Sensei it is impressive how cool the movements of the xenomorph are
I wonder if we will ever get an Alien game of that quality again…
@@julianhuber9188 all we can do is wait my dude
Well, there's a sequel coming out.
It does a great job at just making you feel isolated with an alien (pun intended) even with the flamethrower or with a heap of molotov's or pipe bombs it doesn't ever feel like you have enough supplies to just barge through the alien and just keep going. At most you can make a couple mistakes or by yourself a good chunk of time but you can't ever be rid of it completely. Not to mention you have that one section where you're in the hive and there isn't just 1 alien but like 3-4 and it becomes really hectic and scary cause you have to burn through supplies since stealth isn't really as much of an option anymore. I think overall it just does a great job at not making you so weak you feel like nothing you do is worthwhile like say you're playing an amnesia game but it also doesn't make you feel like the alien is weak but rather you just have more options to buy yourself time or to fight back a bit rather than forcing you to just avoid it or hide the entire game
Something about Alien Isolation really captures me. I think its the presentation. It just looks absolutely gorgeous, minus the character models, but the environments are flawless. I've never been so terrified playing anything in my entire life. Yet, I couldn't put it down.
@@tommyscott8511 for a 10 year old game the atmosphere is beautiful
nice thats immersive that setting with real life sounds and talking be heard
There was actually two Aliens running around in this game, one grey one and a green one, though I didn't see them both at the same time.
There's no Grey or green one..? Just a black one.
The memes were on point hahaha - great review!

You had me with the fart in the locker & the Mr.Bean intro = subscribe
Cheers my dude! I tend to put memes in all of my reviews hoping that of people don't like the game/review the memes at least get a laugh
The flamethrower is an issue. It does ruin the tension with the xeno becoming less of a menace and more of a fly to be swatted while working obj. Love the game, but it breaks the fear and just leaves you to jump scares.
@@mywakingmind I found I has tension from my fuel supply for the flame thrower, but it did also make the flashlight a bit useless as the flamethrower kinda does the same thing
One of the best games I’ve ever played, still holds up after all these years.
Such a shame we never got a proper sequel, though.
agree my dude - might be my favorite survival horror game (personally) haha - if not top 3
Correction on saving when the alien is around. You will load and the alien will not be right behind you (it happened to me once).
*Most of the time. If there is a situation where the drop is guaranteed with high agro, you can get into a save death loop in a small room, such as m6 room where you pick up the keycard to enter medical operations area. Basically, under specific circumstances, the alien spawns back into vents, but is guaranteed to drop into the same room with you if possible.
the graphics are good enough that playing it in 4k with modern hardware makes it really nice to replay
I'm about to start the game for the first time ever. Shall be a fun night. Great review
Cheers my dude! Hope you enjoy your playthrough mate!
It's fantastic, and offered up one of the most memorable (read: terrifying) moments in my gaming history [a 4-way junction in the vents, with just the one minute blast-worth of flame thrower fuel left]. It is, though, when you think about it a 3D Pac-Man with just one the one, albeit particularly spiteful, ghost. No Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde here, just a bastard Big Chap. There's a question for you - is Pac-Man the first ever survival horror game?
Right on dude. Love that everyone has a different experience or memory with this game
Ha ha never thought of it that way
Could have sworn this game was 6 years at the most. 10 years already 😮
right? 10 years my dude
It took me 3 weeks to beat this game in the hardest difficulty and, i can tell you this much...
Never have I played a game that's made me jump and freak out as much as this title. It truly is the best alien game, and quite possibly the best horror survival game on the market!
@@tothesky8799 right on my dude glad you enjoyed it
the only big flaw of this game is the reuse of map design near the end of it, and the ton of backtracking you gotta do . The anesidora part of the game is also pretty dull for me, because the ship's interior design just looks like an extension of sevastopol, like you can tell the devs either didnt care or didnt have the time so they reused assets from sevastopol to make the anesidora
I love this game as well. You should try Condemned: Criminal Origins. It is very good.
Hey dude, loved the video. Feels like watching gmanlives if he didn't just cover shooters! Love your editing and the points you made throughout the video 😊
Ah shucks cheers mate! If you want a couple of my other videos, you'll see gman pop up - likewise with me in some of his videos 🍻🍻

@@RSKT_art cheers my dude 🍻
Alien Isolation was a product of a particular era, several happy coincidences and above all a publisher prepared to take a risk.
And remember that most of the Alien Isolation design team left Creative Assembly shortly after it was released.
There’s no way we’ll get another game of this quality and set in the Alien universe again. 10 years later, publishers are far more risk averse and more interested in pleasing their shareholders than their customers.
Fortunately, I feel this game has pretty much unlimited replay value, so I’m fine with this.
@@happyspaceinvader508 agree mate this game has a lot of replay value
Just found out about your channel. Awesome quality you deliver. Im shocked you have so few subs. Count me in
ah shucks cheers mate! appreciate the kind words and the sub
Just started this game after avoiding it for years cuz Alien honestly scares me but man. Im starting on nightmare and it's insane. Haven't seen the Alien yet, just the humans but the sense of dread is terrifying
@@zay_tiggygaming you're in for a great yet horrifying time
Are you Gmans editor because i’ve noticed that your and his videos use a lot of simpson clips lmao
Nope just mates with him
It's a prerequisite to be his mate. Pass a Simpsons quiz
I've played plenty of horror games in my time, but this is the only one that ever made me limit my playing time. 1-2 hoirs at a time, that was enough. Stress and anxiety levels through the roof
Let me be honest here because im a casual gamer and i will firstly admit that im not hardcore nor skilled. And we average gamers are MANY in population. This game sold poorly, and its not because of competition at the time
Me and million other gamers had avoided this game because of its difficulty and slow gameplay. If the game had more difficulty variety to allow players to indulge in the story and atmosphere without being killed immediately, it wouldve sold better.
And im not even asking for cod like alien game, but horror games like Silent hill were very accessible, it even let you tinker with the difficulty and ai settings and even for less cryptic puzzle solving. Far cry had sneak indicator mechanics, which in Alien Isolation you dont, like why not at least include a mechanic for an easy difficulty and just remove it for the higher difficulty.
And most importantly, trial and error games are the worst type of difficulty, which is what this game also has even if the fans dont want to admit it. You definitely know that the game spawned that alien into the area when you were about to complete a task.
Game developers have yet to understand that average gamers are not masochistic gamers which is why this Alien game is only kept alive by only the alien fanbase and streamers. And that people would rather watch a streamer play the Alien game(or hide n seek only game) than to actually own the game and play it. But hopefully, they’ll understand for a next Alien game.
Same here, finished it once but never again, just to difficult for me. But i revisit it a few times and play it till i get stucked because of that damn robots. Super scary horror game, that's why i always come back....
@@robertb.3651 thats the parts i always get stuck on, the robots. Same thing, very annoying. I could not finish it
It's a proper classic on it's own, regardless of it's Alien-heritage. One of few games I want to own on several platforms because it's fun on PC, PS4/5 and Switch.
Loading it up for the first time several years after if first came out i was really struck by the menu, i sat and listened to the music and soaked in the image of this tiny speck of a space station next to a gas giant. Loved the whole game, except the weird ending bit.
@@user-zp4ge3yp2o the atmosphere and music work so well in this game
I play it with no music enabled and it makes the experience 10000 times scarier
@@jishmoans oh damn!
I’ve never been so depressed after I beat a video game. This game is definitely my favorite
@@bigbadchupa9511 sequel has been announced recently so we'll hopefully find out what happens next
Comfortably.
On a smaller budget, Dark Descent did the panic and crisis management running all throughout Aliens some justice as well.
Fireteam Elite is just a zombie horde shooter reskin tho. Making Aliens appear like a shooting gallery written and directed by Michael Bay.
In my colonial marine video I mentioned I tried dark descent but a load of people have suggested to give it another crack - will try after the few videos in currently working on
Great game. Can’t believe 10 years old. Only game I played again for a second time. They should do another like this.
thoroughly enjoyed replaying/re-experiencing the story, but damn is it still frightening
As an Alien film fan I can Say it really does take you there. It is excellent 👌
Even if your not a Gamer but a film fan as soon as you see it or play it you will be hooked and want to play .
The music the story the gameplay it is literally excellent 👌 👏 🙌
@@Lostmymindin2025 agree with you my dude 🍻
i started playing as soon as it was done downloading..it was late at night, so i put on the headset.
soon after i entered sebastopol i decided to only play in daylight, and with speakers on low volume.
Haha a headphone playthrough at night is something else
@@DudiReviews yea, i basically stopped that as soon as i hit the 1st save on the station.
mightyjingles couldnt take it either, he never finished the the game.
neither did i. i tried but i got stuck on a
code puzzle further in.
"honey i'm home!" "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
ha ha basically
How this mirrors my own view, or image if this game. I am not a huge fan or the horror survivor genre, but i am an alien(s) fan boy. I love the game, have replayed it a few times, and though i get frustrated sometimes of how the missions are designed, i always end up wanting more. Yes for me this game is too short, i could without blink have spent 50+ hours sneaking and avoiding the alien. The game and the story deserves a part 2.
I am considering buying this. Maybe I could play it on my daughter's ps4. 😉 Romulus was awesome last saturday! Nostalgia also brought Alien trilogy to my mind from ps1. 🔥🖤🔥
@@Jouni-V had a look for a mate the other day and I think the game is included in PlayStation +
Alien Isolation is a game I will never get rid of
even the challenge modes are pretty fun for a quick game
The game does NOT save the position of the Alien as you are saving. It's randomized every time you load that save.
So if you're almost saved and hear the alien drop near you, let the save finish. You might get killed once, but then can continue from your new position without a problem.
my mistake - cheers mate
I’m literally about to finish this game again tomorrow- its awesome
@@MisterPiNkeYe right on my dude glad you're enjoying it
@@DudiReviews just completed it 😊
@@MisterPiNkeYe overall thoughts my dude?
Well it's 2025 and this has convinced me to buy this and give it a whirl!
@@NicLuc enjoy my dude. You're in for a horrify yet good time!
