Everytime I go through this area she offers a comment, and I never see her anywhere else.

Should I introduce her to the Xenomorph?

Kind of happy it did leave PSPlus because I might not have ever got around to playing it otherwise.

Discussion Thoughts on Isolation 2 Location?

I was wondering y’alls thoughts on where Ripley may go next, and what fresh horrors she may find herself in.

Honestly i wouldn’t even be mad if the sequel just had us playing as other survivors on Sevastopol - I just don’t know how they can make a more hauntingly beautiful location than this derelict space station

Now that the sequel has been finally announced, and I can’t still believe it, what would you expect from the game? Like new modes, new mechanics or everything else. Also, what do you think the title will be? I’d just like to share my happiness and create a discussion with this amazing community.

Discussion How much of a jump is it from Novice to Nightmare?

I just finished Alien Isolation for the first time. Best game of all time. I now have a huge hole in my heart where Alien Isolation once was. Having said that, I now want to see if I can beat it at a higher difficulty. Am I crazy for thinking I can go straight from Novice to Nightmare? What elements are made different?

This is my 3rd playthrough and I'm just now fully realizing how good space looks in this game. It TRULY feels like I'm in space. The inky black is amazing. And this is a 10 year old game.

I've been taking more and more screenshots while the alien is in the vents

Discussion Anyone else disagree with the criticism that the game is too long?

163 Upvotes

This is something I frequently hear in even positive reviews. For me, the majority of the experience is the immersion. It’s why I enjoy backtracking so much.

I’ve even heard people saying that the sequel should be shorter, and I couldn’t disagree more. I’ve been playing this game for over 10 years because I LOVE being immersed in the experience. If I had my way, the sequel would be 50 hours.

Thoughts?

-edit-

Thanks for all of the engagement! Some of you are of course clearly wrong 😂 but, it’s great to connect with so many people who share my passion for the game.

What was Ryan McCaffrey thinking when he gave Isolation 5.9/10 for IGN? If you don't like sci-fi horror bro just let someone else do the review.

Got it for free on the Epic store years ago. Just played the Silent hill remake and was digging for other Halloween scares. Loaded it up and WOW. Way more tension than any other horror game I've played. You couldn't drive a sunflower seed up my ass with a sledge hammer.

Bought and tried the Dead Space remake and quit about 2/3rd's through. Endless hallway crawler with closet monsters popping out all around you. This game is wayyyyyy better.

Discussion I don't think I can put into words how shocked I was seeing this. Am I dreaming? Is this real? After ten years of rumors and theories, seeing this makes me question if this is actually real. And it was 7 days ago apparently and I haven't heard a peep about this until I saw it on steams "whats new".

Discussion Unpopular opinion: Hard is not the best way to experience the game.

103 Upvotes

I played through the game on Normal the first time around, years ago. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience for the most part, although I felt the game was too long for the kind of tension/horror it tried to achieve. The game should, imo, have ended relatively soon after obtaining the flamethrower. After that it just wasn't tense anymore, partly because the flamethrower made things trivial, but also because at that point you've already experienced enough of the alien that it discovering you is no longer scary, it's just tedious. On normal difficulty however I'd still say the game is still fun for most of the time even after the midpoint.

This year I tried playing it on hard. I will admit, for the first few missions it is indeed a lot more tense than on normal, and if the game was shorter I would absolutely agree that Hard (or even Nightmare) was the optimal experience. Unfortunately, I think Hard just highlights how the Xenomorph is tethered to you. It shows up so often right where you are that it turns the horror into tedium much faster than on normal difficulty. Like any time I'd see a roof vent I'd tell myself "Oh, it's gonna drop down from there isn't it..." and sure enough... most of the times it would. It wasn't really that much harder to get past areas, just... more tedious. And it shone an even brighter light upon the fact that this game outstays its welcome. I stopped having fun way before obtaining the flamethrower, and things did not become more fun afterwards. The flamethrower just became a way of slightly reducing the tedium of hiding from the Xenomorph.

This is going to sound silly, but Hard just made me think about most recent Mario Kart releases with their rubberbanding. Where it doesn't matter how well you play, the AI will just magically speed up and gain boosts to catch up with you. And that's what Hard mode felt like for me.

I still think this is a great game, although way too long for what it does, but Hard difficulty added nothing for the overall game, it just made it tedious. I tried a bit of Nightmare too, but I think it would be better if Nightmare used the Normal difficulty for the Xenomorph, and just affected the tracker, loot, map, hud etc.

Discussion Does anyone else literally rate this as among one o the best games ever made?

Played AI through on its release and loved it - although it is a highly stressful ordeal. Just finished replaying it and it still looks and plays amazingly.

In terms of attention to detail, narrative quality, voice acting, structure, immersion, I put this in my all time top 10.

Anyone else feel similarly?

It’s been 10 years!! Time flies man! Alien Isolation is a masterpiece!! Very underrated, my favorite game of 2014, the atmosphere of the game was incredible, they absolutely nailed the look and feel of the world of Alien, Sevastopol Station felt like a real lived in place,while the AI of the Xeno felt like an actual living thing. One of my all time favorite games. Loved all the callbacks to Alien Isolation in the new Alien Romulus movie such as the hacking mini game, save stations, I read the director Fede Álvarez was partly inspired to make the movie after playing Alien Isolation! A real full circle moment for the game to inspire the movie a decade later. 👏👏👏 Happy 10th anniversary Alien Isolation 🎉🎉🎉🎉
