Frustrating Locker Simulator with sparse save points is the vibe I get from reviews.

Thanks for any insight :)

At best, you get stuffed into a locker. At worst, you have others' waiting to do so when you get out, why the angst?

I don't get what you mean by..."At worst, you have others' waiting to do so when you get out"

I don't want to buy a game that will be an exercise in frustration that I probably wont finish.

Thanks for the reply :)

At beginning its amazing, Alien (especially on higher difficulty) is pain in the ass. Later its become boring very quick, you just run through the game (maybe its the weapons), its kind of repetitive. But remember its my own opinion. U should buy this game and try yourself. Sound effects are nice, play it at night. :)

Yes it is. Damn perfect Alien experience if you want to be scared frustrated and angry with moments of joy. Very atmospheric game.

I tell you one thing it was hard to finish it. It can be very frustrating at times. The unpredictable alien ai scripting can be cool freaky and laughable at times.

I remember one time hiding in a locker and thinking the alien left.. lol what a mistake I made.. It was waiting for me at the other side of the door.. haha damn ai... played with me by giving me false hope. :P Died

Another cool moment was throwing a noise maker away so I could try to get around it.. It looked at the noise maker and then looked back at me... I can almost hear its thoughts... Is that best you can do.. I Died... :(

Its one of those games you will love it and hate it at the same time.

Yes worth every penny if you can stomach terror.

Its near 30€ (on PS4), not sure I want to spend it and not finish it :)

Yeah, I don't mind dying, its the distance from the last checkpoint and replaying areas over and over that I find annoying.

Thanks for the replies :)

It's 12.5 euros on steam...
I watched an LP of that game.
It's like a stealth horror.. on rails.
You have to complete specific sections and goals to progress.
I would have preferred if it were more open to exploration and if it offered more choices.
It's surely scary and has cool graphic&audio, but it's a bit repetitive and dumbed down.

Sounds like you're a slave to your PC. Break out the horse and buggy whip

Just Whip it.

Hmmm, I think I should check it out.. But I think I'll wait for a GOTY version first.

There is no need for that, because DLC for this game really really suck, they are too short and too easy - in one DLC you can play as Ripley, but it feels like any other character, its nothing special. I played just two of them (DLC), idk about the rest. Buy it right now :D

I didn't mean that it was a bad game, however.
It's just good but not great.
duck, crawl, hide, duck, crawl hide, rinse and repeat.

After the alien is revealed during the first 15-20 minutes of the game it becomes boring.

You are not really missing out on much by not buying this game.
