***This review contains minor spoilers forAlien: Isolation.
When the beast seems all-powerful and indestructible, you grow quite afraid of it.
Thats the best part aboutAlien: Isolation: the xenomorph, itself, is terrifying as all hell.
To me,Alien: Isolationis a disappointment.
There I said it.
For one, it just doesnt feel like a survival horror game for long.
Sure, these androids are tough, but theyre not scary by any means.
Yup, heres your first mission: go get dressed.
Oh, great way to peak my interest, guys.
Is something going to happen?)
The environments and characters are highly detailed, and youll definitely be taken back to theNostromofromAlien1979.
Its unfortunate that the game suffers from screen-tearing issues.
Although, the games soundtrack does its very best in creating tension.
And while there are some scares contained withinAlien: Isolation,they are few and far between.
The characters are strong, but the voice acting is also not up to par.
Amanda is likeable enough, and even sort of looks like her mother (Sigourney Weaver as Ripley).
The frustration withIsolationcontinues in that there is no autosave; youre instead forced to find save terminals.
So, you have to keep playing.
If you want to, that is.
