Alien: Isolation

Alien: Isolation is a first-person stealth horror game where Amanda tries to find out what happened to her mother. The story starts fifteen years after the disappearance of the Nostromo. The heroine's tug goes through the same sector where Ellen Ripley disappeared, and soon finds the Anesidora station. From there begins a long return through the corridors, where something is constantly watching. The alien behaves unpredictably and does not give respite. You have to collect literally everything: parts, medicines, circuit diagrams for devices. Devices allow you to distract the enemy and open doors. You often have to hide in closets and under tables, and the noise gives the heroine away instantly. Anesidora Station is filled with detail: debris, records and bodies explain what happened here. Devices like noise decoys help distract the Alien. The flamethrower and revolver appear later, when hiding is no longer enough. Saves are made frequently, so the situation can be replayed. The alien learns from the player's behavior, so the same tactics fail. Doors and ventilation provide shortcuts, but the noise gives the hero away. There is little medicine, so it is better not to mess with the patrols. Audio recordings of the station command help you draw conclusions. The station consists of several levels, and the path often leads downwards. There is little ammunition, so it is better to evaluate each fight in advance. The ventilation provides a bypass, but it’s easy to get lost in it. Breakdowns at the station change the situation and routes, so the route has to be found again. First aid kits are rare, and every wound has to be taken care of. Anyone who appreciates tension and caution will enjoy the game.
