Alien: Isolation Collection

Got this as a freebie on Epic a while ago. After all the hype, I came away somewhat disappointed. The much-praised Alien AI is nothing to write home about. It's as basic as you can get: You run or make too much noise, the game will spawn the alien just outside of your line of sight to instakill you. I don't believe for a second that this has "adaptive AI" in any way whatsoever, it's just simple trickery achieved through scripting: Level so-and-so: Alien runs for its life at the mere sight of a flamethrower. Level so-and-so later in the game: Alien doesn't care. The talk about "adaptive" AI is all smoke and mirrors on the dev's part. Stealth in this game sucks: Alien Isolation's idea of stealth is very similar to the way stealth is implemented in, say, Fallout 3: You crouch => Congratulations, you're invisible! You walk => Oh noes, you're visible! You run => Game decides you've been naughty and sends an enemy after you. Add to that annoying QTEs, a cumbersome save system, a slew of bugs and crashes, the unbelievably silly contrivance of not letting you pick up the guns and ammo of slain enemies, borked console controls with 100 things tied to a single button, convoluted mission design where by the time you reach your goal you'll have forgotten why you went there in the first place, a crescendo of ugly, irritating graphics effects that require you to have a bottle of Ibuprofen at hand, and so on. Final verdict: You want the ultimate sci-fi survival horror experience? Get System Shock 2. You want the ultimate stealth experience? Get Thief Gold. You want survival horror against a single omniscient foe? Get White Day. If you're ok with a game that kinda tries being all of the above and doesn't get any of it quite right but kinda makes up for it with the Alien license and kool retro-futuristic aesthetics? Can't go too wrong with this one. For 10 bucks or less I'd say you'll get your money's worth. Despite its myriad shortcomings, it's still mostly a solid horror game.

Play it in VR. 15 out of 10 points. Seriously!

Alien + Horror combined in such a good way that it scared me so well the mouse flew off the table. Not just cheap jump scares. You hide, and you can hear where IT is crawling and walking along, so play with headphones. And believe me, it feels like it can SMELL you. I bought it on Steam right at the release in 2014, but now with ALL DLC's? And without Steam tracking what I play with what machine and when, even without internet? *click* got it. Now I have something to be scared of again. 10 K Screenshots (made in 2014) - the second one is my windows background from time to time: https://joumxyzptlk.de/alien_isolation.html Full playthrough main mission in 4k highest skill (2014 too): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWrxGUnh9b4&list=PLIgfh22pB6pZAfWEikYBZ7aaHsw2koD1C But I am German, of course I have something to complain about: The eyes in the cut-scenes look kinda lifeless :D.
