About Alien: Isolation

Alien: Isolation is a survival horror game based on the Alien franchise. As Amanda Ripley, daughter of Ellen Ripley, you will navigate through an increasingly volatile world as you find yourself confronted on all sides by a panicked population and an unpredictable Alien. You must scavenge resources, improvise solutions and use your wits, not just to succeed in your mission but to simply stay alive. In addition to the main story mode there's Survivor mode in which the player needs to escape from a specially designed map fulfilling secondary objectives along the way, while being aggressively hunted by the alien. This mode includes online leaderboards.

Solid atmosphere, no doubt abt that, but the alien AI can feel unfair sometimes and it drags in the mid section for me.

    "Imprevisible" dice, cuando en realidad aprendes su patrón en la hora dos.

    not gonna lie the pacing killed it for me, felt like a chore by the third hour

    GlitchOwl95

    même vécu, le rythme use vite.

  3. TurboBard2

    Face à Resident Evil 2 je le trouve plus marquant sur la durée, parce qu'il installe une tension continue là où l'autre joue sur des pics ponctuels, et cette peur diffuse reste ce qu'on retient le plus longtemps après l'avoir fini.

    GhostByte2

    Lenteur contre lenteur alors (private joke avec moi-même), sauf que Resident Evil 2 dose mieux ses pics de tension je trouve.

    Replying to GhostByte2

    La lenteur je veux bien, mais niveau technique il y a des checkpoints qui punissent trop dur, ça casse le rythme que tu défends non ?

    entre esconderse y esperar, esperar y esconderse, al final uno se cansa un poco pero sigue siendo eficaz

    QuestPhoenix

    that scen still gets me thinking about it

  5. NeonKnight12

    C'est un des rares jeux qui arrive à faire peur sans jamais avoir besoin de jump scares gratuits, la tension monte doucement et ne redescend jamais vraiment.

    Sé que no soy objetiva porque me marcó bastante, pero coincido, esa tensión constante vale más que cualquier jumpscare.
