So much is done right here. If you're a fan of the Alien franchise and want to feel like you're in the movies, Alien: Isolation absolutely delivers. The Sevestapol station, all grimy and run-down feels perfectly at home in the Alien universe, and the alien is sufficiently terrifying. My only real gripe here is that the game simply goes on far too long without having a good reason to. You go on fetch quest after fetch quest for 20+ hours when a shorter game with better designed missions would have been more effective. The individual encounters are scary, sure, but over the course of the game, as I played on hard, the alien killed me hundreds of times and the effect wore down from "shock and terror" to "anger and frustration." Unless you're a masochist I will go against the grain and recommend playing this on a lower difficulty.
