This game is amazing if you're a fan of the alien movies. Probably also if you haven't seen them before but I think it won't hit the same then, cuz you can't appreciate all the details they put into this. The atmosphere is amazing and the sound design made me clench my ass cheeks in a way I could have pressed diamonds with them. The game had me sweating rivers and even got a few screams out of me. I highly recommend playing it in hard mode and I say that as someone that usually plays games on easy because I hate dying too often. But exactly that is what gives this game it's charm, sneaking around an extremely intelligent predator that will learn from your habits and not knowing if you'll make it. Even in hardmode it's not too hard tho, there were only two times where it took me 10+ tries to get to the next safepoint. The game also was a lot longer than I expected which I really liked, it took me a bit over 20 hours and it could have been even more if I had explored more.

If I had to say anything bad about the game then I'd say it loses a bit of it's scaryness after a while, at the start I had to remind myself to breathe but after some time the Xenomorph didn't really phase me anymore. Another point would be that it gets a bit repetitive in it's story, it's a lot of "walk to the other end of the map - oh no what you should have done doesn't work, find another way that's again at the other side of the map." I still had a lot of fun though and to be fair I didn't listen to the story too much so I didn't care that it might be a bit lackluster.
