Alien: Isolation review | Destructoid

Destructoid: Halfway into playing Alien: Isolation, I stopped to watch the first four Alien movies again. It wasn't just for research purposes, but mostly because the game had me yearning for more of the universe. Isolation has some flaws, but it's faithful to the film series, and I'd love to see a follow-up with a few extra alien evolutions.

very polar reviews,
will wait for pricedrop

Neonridr4239d ago

I would say they are actually trending upwards now. There were a few low scores (Gamespot & IGN giving it a 6/10), but it seems like more people are giving it 8-9's now.

I'm looking forward to hearing Angry Joes opinions, he's a big Alien fan

I find his reviews honest

RevXM4239d ago (Edited 4239d ago )

Yeah AJ is honst, but I don't always agree. it comes down to perspective. experience and knowledge.

For instance a lot of people have bashed KZSF for being to hard... LOL. I read a lot of reviews and most made no sense when I played it myself. Other than a little weak presentation of the story I found the game to be fairly good, excellent even in parts.

AJ is cool, Im looking forward to his review also.
The best thing is always to check out multiple reviews and interviews etc.
Some reviewers I like and agree more with than others.
reviewers are people and very few people enjoy all kinds of games and experiences so you kinda have to go to the ones that like the types of games you do.

Well it's a gamergate site so how much can you really believe.

lonelyplayer4239d ago (Edited 4239d ago )

IGN & gamespot complain because the game is too long... they just have too many games to review/play that 20 hours for one is too much.

JoGam4239d ago

Too long? WTF! Either too long or Too short. What the hell ia considered just right? Hour less? Hour more? SMH.

Stsonic4239d ago (Edited 4239d ago )

Got the game today, played for about three hours and really enjoying it. The graphics on the PS4 version are not that great but strangely the character models are awesome.

I was very surprised to come on here and see a 5.9 from ign lol.

Der_Kommandant4239d ago

IGN is the Fox News of gaming.

tlougotg4239d ago

Two sites which i use for gauging a game because i tend to agree with them after i play a game, one of them is Destructoid and another is Gametrailers, if they both say its good then ill most likely agree.

equal_youth4239d ago

i will get it tomorrow when my friend gets it in their stores. I am sure it will turn out to be good for me as i like horror driven games and like to connect with my enemy. The alien seems to have its own personality. something that ign's reviewer has clearly missed to mention. i should say every time ryan mccaffrey reviews something at ign i dont take it seriously.

i am not always in line with what destruction has to say as an example i find their shadow of mordor review to harsh, this time i would love to agree with them.

but opinions you know... opinions.

The Best Alien Games (To Play After Watching Alien: Earth)

An opinion piece on the best Alien games. From arcade Alien vs Predator action to a terrifying Xenomorph stalker, these are the best Alien video games starring Ridley Scott’s chestbursting, acid-blooded nightmare.

FTLmaster271d ago

Got a soft spot for AvP (2010) but solid list nonetheless.

Abnor_Mal271d ago

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.

Nittdarko270d ago

Aliens Fireteam Elite was my GotY in 2021, single player was kinda bad but playing that game 3 player with friends was so good and really challenging on higher difficulties

Massive shout out to Aliens Vs predator 2 (2001), a dialup lag filled fun mess in multiplayer and 3 great campaigns

I played through most of the PS4 version of the game but stopped because another game came out. I bought it last year for PC with the intention of using the VR mod but haven't gotten around to setting it up. I am glad I waited.

Neonridr348d ago

Great game, even better in VR. A little drawn out by the end, but I hope we see CA do something a little different with the sequel.

OtterX348d ago (Edited 348d ago )

Sweet. I also rebought this game on Steam for the purpose of VR. I'll have to give it another shot w full immersive controls. I had only tried it out briefly before.

It's funny this was never officially released at retail as a VR game, bc it feels so perfect for it!
