Alien: Isolation
About
Alien: Isolation is an action-survival horror game played from the first-person perspective for a more intense experience. The game is not a sequel to any of Alien games, but it is directly connected to the original 1979 Alien film, so the gameplay includes historical references, and the game itself transfers the unique atmosphere and the old vision of the future. The action is set 15 years after the film events. Young Amanda Ripley accompanied by Nina Taylor and the android Christopher Samuels reaches a distant space station Sevastopol to investigate the case of her mother Ellen Ripley (the protagonist of the 1979 film) disappearance. On the way to the Nostromo’s (Ellen’s spacecraft) flight recorder, Amanda will face plenty of hardships like hostile androids and Aliens because the Sevastopol station is wholly abandoned. Players have to explore the entire station inhabited with Aliens. Due to the crafting system, players can create the necessary gear to prevent contacts with countless enemies.

Alien: Isolation reviews and comments
No wonder this game was placed among top 10 when it launched. First, please ignore the IGN review. That review is completely useless. This is absolute heart clutching masterpiece which gives you a real sense of what AI should be like in today's gaming. You're on a space station facing an Alien apocalypse and on top of that, the Androids also turn against you, as well as other people on the ship. So basically you're pretty much alone.
The limitation of resources, the stealth requirements, patience and determination you require in order to just get to next Save spot, the open world mechanics and special effects. All of these sum up to a spectacular game play.
My only complaint would be that the game is lengthy for no particular reason, some part is just repetitive to increase game play without adding any substance.
Final Score: B
