Alien: Isolation Review - 8BitChimp

8BitChimp says, "Alien: Isolation contains a collaboration of nostalgia, terror and universal exhilaration. The narrative begins with overwhelming promise, thrusting our protagonist into the aforementioned isolation within the space station Sevastopol. Atmosphere is tremendously abundant, accompanied by a remarkable use of sound and score, oppressing and frightful in those first footsteps aboard the Sevastopol. While U.K. developer Creative Assembly crafts a distinctive vibe that calls back to Ridley Scott’s original 1979 film in more ways than one, the overarching journey is one that ultimately becomes muddled and bemused. By no means is Alien: Isolation a poor game, but it does unfortunately develop into a disappointing experience."

Read the review and this guy put a negative for load times, some framerate drops, and choppiness from cutscenes. I think we can all blame that on parity for the last gen consoles. This is a cross gen game after all, but doesn't deserve a score as low as that. Well at least it is not the lowest score. Cuff Cuff ign.

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

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.

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.

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.

OtterX360d ago (Edited 360d 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!
