Great game were it not for an annoying bug

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

Customer Review

Since quite a lot has been written for the game already, I want to concentrate on the main points. To put it straight to the point: Alien insulation is good, if not for an annoying bug, which makes it impossible for me to play through the game completely. Unfortunately, I am therefore not alone, because the same error in Gamer forums just accumulates.

:: The Game ::

Alien isolation lets the player in the role of Ripley's daughter searching for her mother. She arrives at an almost deserted space station in which a small gift from the Nostromo (the ship from alien) the alien rumtreibt (more is not revealed at this point). Added to this are androids are to keep the station up and running and a third fraction a handful of bad guys have their own interests.

What makes Alien isolation on the one hand and on the other the biggest frustration factor is its difficulty and often very random Alien AI, which is extremely arbitrary. On the first point: the difficulty is even easy to really hard. Alien isolation is a classic survival horror game where this time the focus is really laid on and Survival Horror. Any kind of objects are quite sparsely sown and where you initially quite well his own can tinker together, because it is quite scarce and often enough an attack of the enemy (the alien anyway) from view just in later missions to the loading screen , So far so good and not so bad. Sneak, scouting out and the whole thing is fun, were it not for point 2. The alien shall be completely controlled via AI. Sounds good, but the result is sometimes more than 30 minutes and more is not surfaced in my case and elsewhere a so much life has difficult that one could almost despair. One should behave quietly, not running and launch diversionary tactic. Ultimately, I'm just pretty determined run through the missions, often running and was not so much persecuted by the Alien as if I was careful.

:: The Graphics & Sound ::

Graphically the game to the PS4 is really nice. It has voiced voluminous fog, great lighting effects and provides all in all really good. Musically Original music is offered, although only sparse, but all the coherent. I like and creates atmosphere. I played the game in English and the language version also sounds very good, professional and appealing.

:: :: The Bug

The big spoilsport is unfortunately just before closing a bug to some, but apparently not experience all players (are different all the positive ratings certainly not explain). Those who would like to read yourself just search times for Alien isolation Mission 16 Bug. No Spoiler: at the beginning of mission 16 you will be dropped off at the wrong point in the game. Although you can now try to create its own way to the right spot, but there freezes the character and can no longer be controlled. After a Google search (apparently quite a few players have this problem), I found a solution to reload Mission 15 as well when saving in this or load has the score breaks down. This has in my case meant that I myself can no longer play mission 15 because I get out in each elevator to a completely different place. Whether and how I can continue playing is questionable at the moment. Interestingly, other players with this tip could seemingly but continue playing. That's all very annoying, because until then I Alien isolation was perhaps a little too long, but very entertaining and above all exciting.

:: Conclusion ::

I find it difficult to give more than two stars, because without being able to complete the game by play of course is missing something. Graphically, it is beautiful, musically and atmospherically absolutely great, because you at times really feel like in the first film. Especially nice was approximately toward the middle a little side quest that explains how the Nostromo Flight Recorder has been found (-> Keywords: Prometheus). Playful, it is perhaps a little too long and the Alien AI acts sometimes very arbitrary. Unfortunately, making the whole content of the bug, which run through does not allow, a spanner in the works. When this is corrected, the game 4 stars worthy, only. 2
