One of my favorite modern horror games, even without having seen any Alien movies at the time of playing. The AI of the Xenomorph is really impressive, and the higher you crank the difficulty, the scarier it gets. As good as the titular Alien is, some of the tensest moments were sneaking around rooms of creepy, uncanny valley androids. This game drips with atmosphere, and now having seen the original movie, I can say it emulates the setting and vibe incredibly well. The only thing keeping this game from a perfect 5 stars for me was the length. The environments and gameplay didn't differ enough to justify its 20 hour runtime.

100% Completion Notes: A very fun experience, however the aforementioned length issues were really exacerbated with having to play through again. The walkthrough I had looked through recommended doing the no death and hardest difficulty runs separately. When I eventually play through this again on PC, I'll definitely be trying both runs at once.
