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.
