Great entry into survival horror

Alien Isolation is a favorite of mine when it comes to the genre. It is overall a well-crafted game. Starting from the environment, which is mostly a retro-futuristic space station in disrepair. It's often dark and foreboding, it sets up the atmosphere quite well. The environments while similar, they remain distinguishable with a few fulfilling specific functions (hab block, starport, manufacturing... and sigh medical). The game is surprisingly well optimized and its graphics hold up quite well (at least outside character models which are a bit less good looking). The game's strongest point (and at times its Achilles heel) is the titular Alien. the game lets it roam around a few sections actively hunting whatever human is in the area. Stealth is an absolute necessity (at least early on, and in higher difficulties). When everything fits into place, the game is fantastic. While it may not be necessarily scary, it is tense, due to a combination of the sound design, the graphics, and the seemingly smart xenomorph. However, this is where the game can also fail, the tension does dissipate after repeated deaths, leaving only place to frustration. The game does try to diversify the threats outside of the Alien, you may have to deal with androids and other humans (a good chunk of which are hostile, but not all), however their AI pales in comparison to the alien's. The campaign is quite lengthy (sometimes overly so) and there is enough side content (especially with the various DLC). The story is the basic kind you'd expect from an Alien movie, it is serviceable, nothing more. The gameplay being mostly stealth based may not be everyone's cup of tea, especially those used to the more combat focused Alien games, but I still loved it.

Alien: Isolation – A Decade Later

Even after more than 10 years, Alien: Isolation remains a benchmark for survival horror. The adaptive Xenomorph AI keeps every encounter unpredictable, while the superb sound design turns every hiss and motion tracker ping into pure tension. The story of Amanda Ripley adds emotional weight, and the gritty, industrial visuals still hold up impressively, especially on modern hardware. It’s a masterclass in atmosphere and fear that hasn’t lost its edge.

Nervenkitzel pur in allerbestem Setting

Kiene Frage: Sound & Design des Spiels sind für mich das Highlight, da es sich mit dem Retro-Science Fiction-Look und der Fimmusik sehr stark an die ersten beiden Alien-Filme anlehnt. Die deutsche Syncro fand ich sehr gelungen. Hinzu kommt eine spannende Story, die sehr gut und absolut glaubhaft in das "Alien-Universum" passt und auf verschiedenste Weise voran getrieben wird (kleine Video-Einspielungen, viele Audio-Logs, Mails/Texte). Ok - die Aufgabe besteht meistens darin, dass der Spieler irgendwo, irgendwas öffnen/schließen/reparieren/holen soll - und natürlich das Alien schon längst da ist. Also ziemlich repetitiv, ja zum Schluss sogar fast nervig. Sehr viel Spaß hatte ich daran, dass man nur sehr begrenzt Waffen (eigentlich nur 1: den Flammenwerfer) und Loot hat. Selbst auf "Einfach" muss man damit haushalten bzw. am besten jede Nische auch absuchen (was man eigentlich nicht will, da das Alien herum streift). Da man das Alien nicht töten kann, hilft nur sich leise fort zu bewegen, geduldig warten - manchmal in Schränke oder unter Tischen versteckt und dabei die Ohren zu spitzen. Das Rumpeln des Aliens in den Lüftungsschächten in bester Stereo-Qualität in meinem genzen Raum verteilt werde ich nie mehr vergessen. Ist es links? Nein rechts? Oh jetzt wird es lauter? Nein, schon kommt es quitschend aus dem Lüftungsschacht gerauscht. In solchen Momenten gab es Schweißfingerchen, während mannoch händerringend versucht einnahe gelegens Versteck auszumachen. Meistens sah man nur den Alienschwank, der sich durch die Brust bohrt. Übrigens sterben! Gerade als ich das Spiel anfangs spielte, hatte es einen sehr hohen Frustfaktor. Ich starb gefühlt andauernd. Tatsächlich grovvt man sich aber lengsam in das Spiel ein. Und man lernt seine Möglichkeiten und Gelegenheiten immer besser zu nutzen. Genau da lag für mich auch ein hoher Wiederspielwert. Habe es irgendwann auch tatsächlich auf "Schwer" und sogar ein Durchgang ohne zu sterben geschafft (aber auf "Einfach" ;)).

A True Survival Horror Gem

"Alien: Isolation” is a survival-stealth game that captures the classic “cat and mouse” feeling, where tension peaks, especially when played on Hard mode. Its main strength is in the way it portrays the Xenomorph, staying true to Ridley Scott’s iconic vision: a single, deadly, terrifying threat constantly looming over the player. The sound of its footsteps will make your skin crawl as you hide, distract it, or fend it off temporarily—only for it to relentlessly return. The game demands careful resource management, as essential supplies are scarce. The atmosphere is beautifully enhanced by the retro-futuristic art style, embracing a 1970s/'80s aesthetic. The sound design, too, is phenomenal, adding a layer of suspense to every moment. Interspersed with tension are calmer moments where the soundtrack immerses you in chilling yet fascinating atmospheres, reminiscent of “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Unfortunately, the game occasionally breaks up this core rhythm with sections featuring hostile humans and androids, but these encounters aren't nearly as compelling as the terrifying Xenomorph. The hacking minigames also leave something to be desired, feeling more like filler than integral gameplay elements. Another minor downside, which can slightly detract from the experience, is the plausibility of Amanda Ripley's tasks. Sometimes they seem designed simply to move you across the map, rather than adding meaningful engagement. When performing repairs, for instance, you’re not solving puzzles; you’re just following a checklist to progress the game, waiting for more exciting things to happen. That said, despite these minor flaws, “Alien: Isolation” is still an excellent title for fans of horror and suspense. If you’re seeking an immersive experience, I highly recommend starting on Hard mode right away. Personal rating: 8/10. While we wait for a potential sequel, this game is well worth picking up and playing through

One of the greats

I could write about the graphics still being even better than some new releases, or, how fluid the gameplay is; I could write about how the sound effects force you into the moment and make your hair stand on end, and, how the music just attacks you, sounding like it's right out of the movie. This game is a continuation of that experience, ensuring that the first Alien movie didn't end with Ellen Ripley escaping the Nostromo by the skin of her undies with Jonsey, the cat. But, no. A deep story and Sevastopol station, the stage for Alien: Isolation - became a living and breathing entity on it's own - making me wish I had been aboard during it's better days, is what made me love this game. Amanda Ripley, the protagonist of Alien: Isolation and daughter of Ellen Ripley from the movies, was a child when her mother failed to return home after encountering the alien on a routine deep space mining haul. Now, an engineer, she heads to Sevastopol station in hopes of finding a clue to her mother's whereabouts, and, the Nostromo flight recorder. You can explore every inch of the abandoned station and unlock it's secrets in the form of logs and computer entries left behind by the inhabitants. Hack terminals and doors to find collectibles and movie lore, expanding the Alien universe and clues to the disaster on the Nostromo. I'm writing this review after my fourth playthrough, and, before beginning my fifth. See you on Sevastopol
