Oct. 2024

This isn't your typical "run and gun" alien game where you blast your way through hordes of extraterrestrials with a smirk and a cigar. No, Alien: Isolation is more like a game of hide-and-seek, except the seeker is a space monster with murder on its mind, and you're hiding like a scared kitten who just knocked over a vase. The premise is simple: survive. You play as Amanda Ripley, daughter of the Ripley, whose decision to explore a creepy space station feels like an extreme case of “following in mom’s footsteps.” Now, about that alien. This is not your average video game enemy who just follows a script. Oh no, this Xenomorph has a PhD in Psychology and has read every survival guide you’ve ever skimmed. It lurks, it learns, and it’s apparently mastered the fine art of trolling. You hide in a locker? It checks the locker. You throw a noisemaker? It stops, thinks about it, and then proceeds to investigate directly where you’re standing. It’s like it knows. And it’s terrifying. But fear not, you’ve got tools! Useless tools. Sure, you get a motion tracker, but all it really does is beep loudly enough to alert the alien. And flamethrowers? Great in theory, but it’s like trying to scare off a lion with a hairdryer. The real hero here is the locker. You will spend hours in that thing. Every corridor is dimly lit, filled with steam vents, and makes random noises that seem specifically designed to trigger your fight-or-flight response. The whole place just screams, “Maintenance overdue,” and the humans on board are somehow worse company than the alien. They’re either trying to shoot you or giving you that “I’ve been stuck in space for too long and I might snap” vibe. The game's visuals capture the Alien film's aesthetic in stunning detail, giving you that perfect 1970s vision of the future. The CRT monitors, clunky machinery, and chunky, analog-style tech on the Sevastopol Station feel nostalgic, yet entirely immersive. The game’s art direction really nails the "lived-in" future feel, where everything looks worn down, grimy, and used—a stark contrast to the sleek, high-tech environments often seen in other sci-fi games. The game’s sound design is a perfect partner to its visuals, enhancing the vibe. The ambient noise of the station, the hum of machinery, and the distant sounds of the Xenomorph in the vents all combine to create a sensory experience that constantly keeps you on edge. In conclusion, Alien: Isolation is the perfect game for anyone who wants to know what true anxiety feels like. It’s a masterpiece of stealth horror, where your greatest accomplishment is not beating the game, but surviving long enough to reach the next save point.

As a horror game enthusiast, Alien isolation stands out as one of the most terrifying experiences in the genre. Every creak and sudden hiss of the Xenomorph was nerve wracking. And the immersive unpredictable AI keeps you on edge, making the Xenomorph feel like a real living threat that's always one step ahead. It's not just a game; it's a horrifying experience that redefines fear.

Aug. 2024

Well, watched Alien Romulus last night at it somehow reminded me of this masterpiece and it bothered me, that I hadn't written a proper review about it. Not that it would be necessary, since almost every single person who has played this game calls it a masterpiece or one of the best horror games of all time. It is so well written, looks still astonishing in 2024 thanks to the Cathode engine, and gives you so much fanservice, that you cant help but watch every single Alien movie created after you've started playing this game. Reminds me of watching Deadwood when Red Dead Redemption 2 was released. Some games do that with you..... You are looking for the best video-game adaption of a movie in history? Well, enjoy your stay because this is as good as it gets. edit: F*** IGN, We haven't forgotten. 10/10

April 2024

If you feel miserable and depressed, make yourself a therapeutic session with this game. After ending it, you should feel that your life is actually good. You are not trapped on a space station where giant monster tries to kill you in all bloody ways, you don't have to crawl and watch with fear every single vent, jumping on your chair on every steam hiss. You're life is great and still you have some opportunities in front of you and you are safe. Go outside, smell some flowers and enjoy the sunny day on planet earth... while you can.

Feb. 2024

I know this game came out a decade ago and people probably aren't going to read this, but this is the scariest game I've ever played bar none. The visuals still hold up today and the sound design is just pure glory. The first time you die in this game it feels as though you actually just died in real life, and I'm here for it. The sounds of the alien and the station are done so well, and the way they make some of the station sounds very similar to the Alien's sound effects is pure evil and it's made for some great scares. If u wanna be scared, play this game with the lights off, totally alone, at night, and with a good set of headphones.
