Does the flight recorder hold the answers she has searched for all this time? Of course she has to find out and with the Company people, she agrees to go to the space station Sevastopol that now holds the Nostromo’s flight recorder.

Now some fifteen years later, Amanda Ripley soon finds the clue she is looking for, the flight recorder of the Nostromo, her mother’s ship that had gone missing which has now been found. In terms of story which is very well made, our heroine in this epic survival-horror adventure is Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Ellen Ripley ( Sigourney Weaver) who is looking for clues, more so, the whereabouts of her mother. Play it in the dark and it will make you jump out of your skin a few times and I don’t think a game has given me the jitters this much since the original Half-Life game. With that said, Alien: Isolation brings us back to the root of it, the basics that grabbed us by the throat and burned the phrase “In space no one can hear you scream” in our minds… maybe not in space but playing this game, the neighbour’s may hear you scream.

Alien: Isolation also meshes with the world we know and love, even to the point when we here some of the voice recordings of Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley going over the last report from the Nostromo… it gave me chills and I had a dopey grin on my face due to the strong link to the movie Alien. From the way it’s presented with the graphics and the design of the world, it harkens back to the beloved film of 1979 and is done extremely well. Given the attention to Alien lore, fans of the film franchise will embrace this as a worthy addition to the legacy that was created so long ago and made great by Ridley Scott. Best of all, this is a whole new adventure with no pulse rifles, only the character’s wits and fast choices that makes this game a truly hectic and nerve-racking experience. The story takes place 15-years after the events of the first film and well before the film Aliens which introduced the Colonial Marines. Reviewers: Edwin Millheim and Andrew BistakĬreative Assembly has put something together here that connects very well within the Alien franchise and in our books, is one of the most definitive gaming versions to date.
