Bill Lavoy (Prima Games): Alien: Isolation is a survival horror game with a heavy dose of stealth, and we should also mention that it is absolutely nothing like Aliens: Colonial Marines, a game that was received rather negatively, to say the least. The good news is, while Gearbox Software was responsible for Colonial Marines, The Creative Assembly are the ones who have expertly crafted Isolation. That's not to say that Gearbox Software isn't a great studio, but for anyone who might be inclined to carry some bad blood from one to the other, we'd advise you to give Alien: Isolation its fair kick at the can.
The game takes place 15 years after the events of Alien and 42 years before those of Aliens, the first two films in the franchise. Players will step into the shoes of Amanda Ripley, daughter of Ellen Ripley and series protagonist. Amanda is given the opportunity to investigate the disappearance of her mother, joining Samuels and Taylor on a trip to the Sevastopol, a space station that holds the flight recorder from her mother's ship, the Nostromo.
While the plot certainly does get much, much thicker, we have no intention of spoiling it for you, opting instead to provide you with this free walkthrough. Let us guide you through some of the more difficult situations you'll encounter on Sevastopol, leaving the story-telling to the game itself.
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.
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
Alien Isolation Grand Mother VR is an all new virtual reality experience for Creative Assembly’s best ever horror game.
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.
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!
The Alien franchise has had a long history in video games, but few games have come quite as close to being perfect as Alien: Isolation.
