Alien: Isolation - Ripley Edition - [PlayStation 4] (Video Game)

Customer Review

Some seem the game is not to have a long and very detailed review here. This is not a reproach on my part, but I recommend everyone once to play longer and then to write a review.

I could only play to Mission 16 as an already described by another reviewer stupid bug prevents to continue. Especially not annoyed me that however, because the game bored me very.

What are games of this genre offer Horror Adventure? Well, horror and adventure. Problem is that neither really works in Alien isolation. As would be the very badly programmed AI. The alien does not behave really smart as advertised, but appear randomly with triggers. It reacts really only when appreciated from him or is rapidly running around. The latter means that the high-speed function (Shift) is completely useless and you constantly have to walk slowly, which annoys incredibly over the long distances.

The story is actually totally irrelevant. Man lands in almost always the same-looking rooms in Spaceship and must there from A to B and then to C, etc. and do run very boring things like pressing lever, restore the power or take peaceful KI - stupidly there is no mini map, which is why you constantly look at the map needs and thereby the flow of the game is significantly disrupted. Everyone must admit that these tasks would happen totally stupid just no alien. Other Horror games such as Amnesia find a good balance by mystery that does not offer all inclusive.

It shows in the peaceful KI that the developers very far lag behind when it comes to the intelligent behavior. They work incredibly hard, as whereby even appeared in one game of 2004 in DOOM 3, 2004, the AI ​​is smart designed.

The interactions in the game are very slow. So invites every time a loading screen to the PC, when you interact with them (which you also need the most part). This is ridiculous in the context of (distant future and go into space but can PCs in appearance of Windows 1.0?) And also annoying. The biggest joke is that the PC game, almost all long texts but hardly one reads. This is even less the Storry feeling.

The fact that the alien from a specific time ever shows up and follows a continuous, although it was extremely quiet, even fast missing the scary fun. It's just still annoyed when one kills again, it frightens not even quietly.

Above all, the little varied tasks make the game sometime boring. The bow was for me almost a relief. Too bad this is graphically definitely very good. But a good graphics is not enough!
