I want my survival horror !!

For over 15 years, I'm counting the so-called survival horror to one of my favorite lines in the area of ​​video games. After the genre in the late 1990s boom celebrated it began in the following years dahinzusiechen and established game franchises drove further and further away from its roots.

Now it seems very admit to my delight a turnaround. With titles such as, among others, "Amnesia", "Outlast", "The Evil Within" and many others seem to have dawned a second spring for the survival horror.
The great thing about "Alien isolation" is that it is not only part of this trend but to date represents the high point.
The heart of the game is the cat and mouse game with the opponents. Similar to "Outlast" one is best advised to keep a low profile and avoid potential hazards where you can.
And so is the oppressive feeling that is to create a horror game with me is better served than with the "I ballere me through all enemies" -Masche.
But so nerve-wracking playing hide in "Outlast" was also disturbed that it took me but obviously athletic protagonist was completely defenseless in every situation. Even a small kitten moves the claws when it pushes into the corner.
Not so Amanda Ripley from "Alien isolation". Although she has in an open confrontation with the Xenomorph or numerically superior enemy groups no chance but she's definitely a fighter who enters and strikes around when grabbed by a Synthets to add rather than simply in their fate.
You have the option of materials she finds weapons and traps to build and can also upgrade their technical equipment gradually improved in order to gain access to other areas of the space station.
With this in "Bioshock" and "The Last of Us" reminiscent elements wins "AI" clearly playful depth.
Also technically makes the game with his highly detailed environment and the beautiful light and steam effects all a very good figure even if lying in particular in this area, in my opinion, the greatest weakness. The be played smoothly, the cut scenes is not going to get over yet. Also because the Ripley has no shadow can get used to. Unpleasant fall since even the wooden facial expressions and lip movements of the characters on stiff look times after "Half-Life" and the (ordinary) German speech nor are synchronous as with the English. Aside from occasionally missing sound effects was it that but then even with the criticism and given the excellent fresh game experience, I prefer not intended ZIP code (the data refer to the PS4 version).
The stated aim of developing the atmosphere of the classic "Alien" conjure succeeded almost without compromising even if the space station in the game overall much spacious and brighter than the spaceship Nostromo so the game is rarely get quite as bleak and depressing as Ridley Scott's film.
In any case, "Alien Isolation" an absolutely groundbreaking game and hopefully the start of a new horror series that focus their time as reserves where it belongs.
