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.

Eins der besten Spiele die Ich jemals gespielt habe. Die Atmosphäre ist abartig spannend und rauben einem sämtliche Nerven. Die Paranoia kickt stets zuverlässig, das Spiel ist langlebig und ist richtig spannend erzählt.

je länger ich es spiele desto mehr spaß macht es.
freue mich darauf mehr von der story zu erfahren.
die grafik ist top und die spielmechanik ist ok, nicht mein favorite aber man gewöhnt sich dran.
