A fantastic and strong addition to the Alien franchise that takes you back to the first movie. This game holds back on nothing as it tries its best to scare the living daylights out of you, and makes it addictive at the same time. I think that for many people my hours on this game may say it all, and that's only the online hours. This many hours with repeated playthroughs and I am still willing to give it another try. It's a game that makes you think "What if I did it differently like this?".

Let's get to the story and gameplay:
(WARNING: THERE MAY BE SPOILERS AHEAD)
Story:
The game is set 15 years after the events of the first movie, Alien, and follows the story of Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Ellen Ripley, as she sets out to search for her lost mother. Brought in by the Company after hearing that a deep space station has found some evidence as to what happened to her mother, Amanda boards a vessel that is en route to the orbiting station where said evidence was said to be kept, but problems quickly surface when she is left stranded on the station alone, and with no means of assistance, to which Amanda soon realizes has been severely damaged and is now filled with scared survivors who will do anything, and, if need be, harm anyone to survive, as they try to seek refuge from the coming killer that is the roaming Alien. She must now seek out what help she can from these terrified people, and do whatever possible in order to survive against the Alien's vicious attacks and persistant hunting.

Gameplay:
The gameplay is smooth and enjoyable. Though it has its moments where it will glitch and a character is unable to move forward or whatnot, or you find yourself in a room full of floating tools, but these bugs are very minor, and many times won't even appear. The UI is handy, and easy to use, especially in a pinch (unless you're trying to switch weapons when the Alien sees you). My only other issue is the slowed auto actions when you are interacting with something, your foes won't wait until you are done, and yet you find you are in these incredibly slow interactions with no means to defend yourself. But apart from those few complaints, this game is an easy win. The AI for this game is also really good, unlike the rumors I had heard about it from Beta, this improved AI makes it hard to relax and take a breather. I would rate this game a near 9/10.

Anyway, sorry for this rather long winded review. I don't do these often. But I do highly recommend this game.
