Who does not have the time or patience to read this rather detailed review completely, can also be right down, more under Overall Conclusion.
It has long been need to ask yourself whether a developer is able to develop a reasonable Alien Game. This, here again ventured precisely the publisher SEGA, who had to show partly responsible for the failure of Alien Colonial Marines a try with the development studio Creative Assembly, may be due to a MATCHING degree of overconfidence, or really to the knowledge to do it better can. Now that I've finished the game, I tend personally to second.
Have beside Colonial Marines, so I think at least, every 3-D Alien Games, ranging from the Alien trilogy, which appeared on the PS1 and most likely the alien atmosphere over brought, as well as the Alien Breed trilogy, Alien vs. Predator Extinction (XBOX), as well as the really good Alien vs. Predator, which was unfortunately indicated in Germany, also unfortunately, was unable to capture the atmosphere of the movies, at least angspielt, and was most bitterly disappointed. What a joy when I play could tell from Alien insulation for me after an hour that has landed this Game SEGA an absolute hit.
It assumes the role of Amanda Ripley (the daughter of Allen Ripley) who lands on the space station Sevastopol, but these encounters almost completely abandoned by people, and then set out to search for the cause of these circumstances. Here all the stops of solid Survival Horrors are taken, and in an atmospherically dense, very anglehntem on the first part of the film series sci-fi adventure, united. Here one has largely dispensed with splatter and gore effects, which one already but it should be clear at a from 16 release. Since the game is, however, primarily based on that tension and atmosphere, not missing me these things. Others may like the look different. However, those who, from the beginning on, the lonely corridors of Sevastopol explored with the corresponding walk ventilation shafts, will quickly be rewarded with a claustrophobic, as well as very disturbing, beklemmendem feeling. Alone when the whole noises, as well as the always appropriately staged background music respects to an occasionally hackles put on. Here a 5.1 system makes definitively paid.
The graphics, with its light and shadow effects, also relies on the PS4 any new standards, but both in the game, as well as in the intermediate cinematics great staged, mostly convincing. Here and there, a little bug has but then crept. But assume that some will be corrected with more following patches, and should not be the way this has on the gameplay really only influence if you really want to put everything on the Gold scales. Also in the story, they should never be the main focus here, as it also is not one of the strengths of the Games.
But now enough with the Gemäkel, we come to the positive aspects of this game, and outweigh any lengths in the story, as well as occasional graphical glitches.
Technically control everything goes slightly out of hand, so that even newcomers Game are likely to quickly find it. A simple control is also required since a the Unberechenbarket of Xenomorphs or aliens deshäufigeren, led to a sudden flight, but also to defend themselves, which is, or irritated at least for a small period of the Beast. But not only the alien makes you life hell, but the androids are to be found on all decks of Sevastopol, and are no longer the human beings towards friendly than henchmen available, but turn out to be very aggressive opponents, in contrast but leave off the Alien.
All who engage in this game should be about himself in the clear, that the alien is unpredictable in the Game, and therefore can not run ways foresee other behaviors. For some, that may be the frustration factor, for others who want to face a really good AI opponents once, it is a challenge. I can not at all mentioned how often, and how long I've hidden in lockers, under tables, etc., and did not dare go out of my cover, I suspected the immediate attack of aliens. The whole becomes more dramatic by having only fixed memory points available, and you look after solving a puzzle, or eliminating androids but desöfteren getting caught, that one again a long way back runs to save can, just so a This game progress, for example by lightning fall of aliens from a ceiling hatch, is not lost.
Of course you have here, as in the film, a tracking detector on hand, who makes a most excellent services because of this but does not work completely silent, it can also happen that he inadvertently reveals his own position, and thus brings about a quick virtual death. As important as the location indicator may be, one's ear, for example, if the alien hunt through all noise through the shafts, as well as the most threatening expectant music backdrop, when approaching the Xenomorphs, are usually even better perceptible warning.
Full defenseless is to the whole course, not against. Throughout history, one obtains a growing arms number, such as stun guns, revolver, shotgun up to unvermeintlichem flamethrower, but all should be used sparingly because, as with any good horror survival game, the ammunition is few and far between, and this one then you could be missing in a entscheidenem moment. There are also plenty of objects that can be used for diversion, for example. However, for this must be found firstonce the blueprints that give access to a then Molotov cocktails, EMP mines and as diverse einsetzbarem noise makers. All this can be created by a simple crafting system produce where you collect the associated components and assembling.
These increasingly diverse during the Games utensils then the student assistants as the androids are called, for example, be put out of action with a long EMP mine for a few seconds, in which you then have time to unpleasant contemporaries in arms, however, preferred to his ammunition heeding to give with physical violence the rest. The Xenomorph can not destroy even the best utensil, but an excellent distraction, so that you move ahead time for a task, like a riddle to win, or even just to be sure.
Occasional mini-games bring relaxation which one must pass to monitors, and usually are only one type skill test, as well as the hacking of locks that skill paired with brains, and must be solved in time. All this has been well integrated into the game, and not comes across.
The weapons and objects menu is opened with a key, while then selects from a jog wheel and select the object with the stick and confirmed. In the main menu of the game, the card Lets select which always gives you a complete overview of the corresponding deck, and the private location. In addition to storage points, landing entrances, terminals, as well as locked doors and so on. Zoom function, select floor, as well as a respondent legend can not locate an open question, since the respective tasks are displayed. Archive, as well as staff logs, which are located all over the station, give information about the overall story, as well as information about individuals, but also on key elements such as passwords, or codes that are important to progress in gameplay. In the main menu you can then still in the game, if need be, change the difficulty level.
Overall Conclusion:
The only Alien Game (except Alien Trilogy PS1), which may carry the name Alien with regard to the films in the title, is this game. The graphics are neat, the background noise, background music, as well as the German dubbing, excellent. Storyboard Technically you might have been able get even a little more, and plays only a secondary role.
The course venues are similar more or less, since you mainly staying on the space station Sevastopol, but here bring spacewalks, as well as some other environments change, to which I, would meet unspecified here for spoiler danger. The whole game draws primarily its atmosphere and excitement of the
a.) claustrophobic and oppressive narrowness of a space station, the lonely and alone, lost in the far All
b.) the absolute unberechembarem Xenomorphs, of a high frustration tolerance abfordert characterized but only becomes a formidable opponent,
c.) as well as the stationary storage points, this can really hurt at time unfavorable virtual deaths a.
A simple, intuitive controls, as well as menu navigation makes it easy for beginners Game. However, the opponent does not, which is why you should play as a freshman at one of the lower levels of difficulty here. Who brings with experience, as well as a high frustration tolerance level has, nevertheless should firstonce dragons to normal, and then perhaps to increase the difficulty level later in the game. Anyone who has played and finished Dark Souls, takes equal the highest.
Anyone who uses splatter and gore effects, and secondary characteristics are a Horror Games for the power density, as well as atmosphere should be from this Game fingers. Even those who need non-stop action, and can not stand, perhaps minutes to hide from the enemy, as well as a real Grafikfetischist is, should make a big circle around this game.
Anyone on the I mentioned in the previous paragraph effects such renounce permanent action, but tension, atmosphere, as well as many Stealth deposits may abgewinnen what should access here, especially since there is no second Alien Game, which brings over so well the atmosphere of the film.
PS
Looking forward to your feedback, and everyone who has taken the time to read this rather detailed review. So if I could achieve no gain in knowledge with you, I hope you still have at least entertained.
Otherwise GOOD GAMING !!
