Alien Isolation Sequel is really happening

I was thinking of getting this on gamepass. So it's worth a run?

If you are an Alien fan I'd say its def worth it. It really captures the sights and sounds of the original film. Its a fairly long and difficult game though.. Sometimes down right frustrating by design.

but when it all come together in moments where you are tiptoeing through a hallway, with emergency light strobing, alarms blaring, with the sounds of other station dwellers getting slaughtered meters away and your motion tracker is pinging...there's nothing like it.

I actually "enjoyed" it more playing on easy mode the second time . It still wasnt a walk in the park and just navigating the Sevastopol Station can be challenge in and of itself.

12 hours TOPS with incentives for replayability should be a priority.

The first time I played it on hard about 80% through then just had enough towards the end and switched to normal. It was a slog...an overall enjoyable one but still a slog. When I played on easy mode on the second run and was not getting as slowed down as much in certain sections I really didnt feel the game's length and really enjoyed it. I think its just the constant state of high tension at some point switches from fear to frustration after a while. I think thats why McCaffery at IGN gave his legendary low score. I can imagine it sucked playing that game on hard on a review time crunch. So yea they should shorten it or add some new gameplay elements to the mix.

Id love for them to make half the game like Isolation and perhaps another half more like Aliens with more creatures, NPCs and more action. Like a good Colonial Marines FPS.

Damn it's not on game pass anymore.

man i still need to play the first one. alien is tied for my favorite movie of all time and probably my favorite "universe". call me crazy though, when im gaming i tend not to play to get stressed the hell out

still gotta do it.
