Uma verdadeira aula de edição de som, Alien Isolation faz uso criativo e inteligente de seu material original, capturando perfeitamente a sensação de medo e incapacidade do primeiro filme.
O gameplay não foge muito dos clássicos Survivor Horror, mas nem precisa, a perspectiva em primeira pessoa e a impossibilidade de realemente causar dano ao Xenomorfo só reforça o sentimento de fraqueza diante do Alien.
A história segue um formato cinemático que funciona muito bem com a franquia, a conexão feita entre a personagem principal e o primeiro filme é inteligente e não mexe com os eventos do filme. Alien Isolation oferece uma experiência de terror autêntica, agradando não apenas fãs da franquia, mas também amantes do gênero.

Nunca senti tanto medo com alguma coisa, o sentimento de solidão e agonia é assustador. Acho que esse é o estilo de terror que mais me pega e realmente acaba com meu mental kkkkkkk eu tava com medo antes do alien sequer aparecer. Experiência absurda. Isso tudo é falando sobre o começo e metade da história, a sequência final do jogo é muito decepcionante. Senti que todo esse sentimento de medo desapareceu e restou um jogo de terror esquisito. Seria mais legal se a protagonista conseguisse fugir no meio do jogo ou sei lá, pro foco ser mais na experiência de ter algo te perseguindo sorrateiramente.

Very well crafted game that I think is made for someone else.

This game's strongest moments are those of horror. The seconds where you're completely helpless, hiding from the Xenomorph, listening to all the little noises it makes and everything around you to try and keep track of it. Figuring out what times are safe to move and what times you need to stay put. All of that stuff is great.

Unfortunately after dying a couple times it quickly becomes more tedious than scary. I'm no longer afraid, I'm annoyed and I've just seen the same Xenomorph kill animation for the fifth time. All of the tension is deflated as soon as I die a couple times.

Add that along with the fact that the dialogue, while not awful, reads as pretty uninspired and the fact that the stealth sections featuring humanoid or android enemies feel worse to play means that I'm not going to keep playing to see what Amanda Ripley gets up to next.

Loved this game. For one, it is actually one of the best Switch ports of all time, borderline better than PS4 version in textures!

It is just a beautiful one to look at. The art direction and attention to detail, the sound design, you feel like you're in one of the films.

As a horror game it is excellent. Every section with the Alien is intense. The Ai is adaptive and unpredictable. Running is a death sentence. Even while you hide, you can't hide too much without it finding you.

There's one particular section. If you know it, you know it. Just going into that area, you're telling yourself "I don't want to go down there." It's rare for a game to make you feel so unnerved you don't want to keep playing. Thats an example of a great game.

I have my gripes both with the story and certain moments in the game: the voice acting was hit or miss. Most of it was serviceable but there were many strange deliveries. The story also felt kind of hazard, like things were just happening, instead of it being a fully cohesive experience. The ending is also GARBAGE. It's like they hired some bad writer to come in and just add nonsense to the last 10 minutes.

Finally, gameplay wise, most sections without the alien lack the same tension. Some can still work, but they try to throw in different areas and variety when you're not fighting the alien and it just dosent work. I'm not sure how you'd fix this because over using the Alien would be the opposite problem. Many complain that the game's a bit too long which is probably the sensible answer: just trim down what's here to focus more on the best parts.

I want to score it higher, but it does have glaring issue. It's still amazing despite that and well worth your time.
