True. There was no developer to f... so they just give it a 5.9.

I read the x360a & ps3t review and it seems amazing.
Challenging and sometimes frustrating but we don't have those many games out there that don't give you a gun as a problem solver.

I trade in Destiny for it.

Polygon gave Metal Gear Rising, Titanfall and Guacamelee a 9 out of 10. Surely they lose some sort of credibility for that.

Most people hate them for their TLOU review but really, they seem to have a weird way of reviewing games in general. I don't hate them like most do on here and tbh, I don't get how they dish out some review scores. TLOU getting 7.5 and Forza Horizon 2 getting a 7 doesn't really seem fair but then that's their view so I respect it.

But saying that, I suspect that they give these scores to get hits. Polygon seem to always want to stick out from the herd. On that basis, I can't take their reviews seriously.

But each to their own.

"Can't be worse than CM right?"

Depends, CM is unapologetically unambitious, mediocre in mechanics and unpolished but it was very playable and straight forward. It can only be as disappointing as your standards of games go or how hyped you were getting into it.

However Alien Isolation, is divisive because the game makes or breaks based on the AI alone. The mainstream will call it cheating because enemies teleport and always knows where you are, conversely you will find others will see that as challenging and unpredictable.

I'm inclined to agree with the mainstream, because a game shouldn't need to cheat to be challenging (look at Dark Souls), let's not kid ourselves that masochism equals more hardcore.

7.5 for the PS3 version.

8.0 for the PS4 version.

It was Phillip Kollar who reviewed the game.

They give a 7 to The Last Of Us, but then an 8.5 to Angry Birds Star Wars Edition. Lol.

My favorite Aliens game also, having the three campaigns to play was great. Scaling walls as an alien waiting to ambush anyone that came too close.

Only played a little of the horde mode but was still fun.
