Alien: Isolation is a 2014 <a href="Survival_horror_game" class="mw-redirect" title="Survival horror game">survival horror game</a> developed by <a href="Creative_Assembly" title="Creative Assembly">Creative Assembly</a> and published by <a href="Sega" title="Sega">Sega</a> for <a href="PlayStation_3" title="PlayStation 3">PlayStation 3</a>, <a href="PlayStation_4" title="PlayStation 4">PlayStation 4</a>, <a href="Windows" class="mw-redirect" title="Windows">Windows</a>, <a href="Xbox_360" title="Xbox 360">Xbox 360</a>, and <a href="Xbox_One" title="Xbox One">Xbox One</a>. Based on the <a href="Alien_(franchise)" title="Alien (franchise)">Alien</a> film series, the game is set 15 years after the <a href="Alien_(film)" title="Alien (film)">original 1979 film</a>, and follows the engineer <a href="Amanda_Ripley_(character)" class="mw-redirect" title="Amanda Ripley (character)">Amanda Ripley</a>, voiced by <a href="Andrea_Deck" title="Andrea Deck">Andrea Deck</a>. Amanda investigates the disappearance of her mother, <a href="Ellen_Ripley" title="Ellen Ripley">Ellen Ripley</a>, aboard the space station Sevastopol, which is in disarray due to years of corporate negligence and the threat of a rampant <a href="Xenomorph" title="Xenomorph">alien</a> creature. The game emphasizes <a href="Stealth_game" title="Stealth game">stealth</a> and <a href="Survival_horror" title="Survival horror">survival horror</a> gameplay, requiring the player to avoid, outsmart, and fight various enemies with equipment such as <a href="Firearm" title="Firearm">firearms</a>, a <a href="Motion_detector" title="Motion detector">motion tracker</a>, <a href="Stun_baton" class="mw-redirect" title="Stun baton">stun baton</a>, and a <a href="Flamethrower" title="Flamethrower">flamethrower</a>.

Alien: Isolation was designed to resemble the original Alien film rather than its more action-oriented 1986 sequel <a href="Aliens_(film)" title="Aliens (film)">Aliens</a>, and features a similar lo-fi, 1970s vision of what the future could look like. It runs on an <a href="Game_engine" title="Game engine">engine</a> built to accommodate the alien's behaviour and technical aspects such as atmospheric and lighting effects. Creative Assembly intended to make Alien: Isolation a <a href="Virtual_camera_system" title="Virtual camera system">third-person</a> game, but used <a href="First-person_(video_games)" title="First-person (video games)">first-person</a> to create a more intense experience. Several <a href="Downloadable_content" title="Downloadable content">downloadable content</a> packs were released, some of which relive scenes from the original film.

Alien: Isolation received positive reviews and sold over two million copies by May 2015. Its retro-futuristic art direction, sound design, and <a href="Artificial_intelligence_(video_games)" class="mw-redirect" title="Artificial intelligence (video games)">artificial intelligence</a> were praised, while its length received some criticism. Considered one of the <a href="List_of_video_games_considered_the_best#2014" title="List of video games considered the best">best games ever made</a>, Alien: Isolation won several year-end awards, including Best Audio at the 2015 <a href="Game_Developers_Choice_Awards" title="Game Developers Choice Awards">Game Developers Choice Awards</a> and Audio Achievement at the <a href="11th_British_Academy_Games_Awards" title="11th British Academy Games Awards">11th British Academy Games Awards</a>. It saw <a href="Porting" title="Porting">ports</a> to <a href="Linux" title="Linux">Linux</a> and <a href="OS_X" class="mw-redirect" title="OS X">OS X</a> in 2015, <a href="Nintendo_Switch" title="Nintendo Switch">Nintendo Switch</a> in 2019, and <a href="Android_(operating_system)" title="Android (operating system)">Android</a> and <a href="IOS" title="IOS">iOS</a> mobile devices in 2021. It was also added to the <a href="Amazon_Luna" title="Amazon Luna">Amazon Luna</a> service in 2021. A <a href="Alien%3A_Isolation_(TV_series)" class="mw-redirect" title="Alien: Isolation (TV series)">web series adaptation</a> was released in 2019. In 2024, Creative Assembly announced that a sequel was in development.

Alien: Isolation is a <a href="Single-player_video_game" title="Single-player video game">single-player</a> <a href="Action-adventure_game" title="Action-adventure game">action-adventure</a> game with an emphasis on <a href="Stealth_game" title="Stealth game">stealth</a> and <a href="Survival_horror" title="Survival horror">survival horror</a>. The player controls <a href="Amanda_Ripley_(character)" class="mw-redirect" title="Amanda Ripley (character)">Amanda Ripley</a> from a <a href="First_person_(video_games)" class="mw-redirect" title="First person (video games)">first-person</a> perspective,<a href="#cite_note-Game_Awards_nominees-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-PCGamer_review-2">[2]</a> and must explore a space station and complete mission objectives to progress forward in the story while avoiding, outsmarting, and defeating enemies.<a href="#cite_note-USGamer_guide-3">[3]</a> Specific objectives vary across each of the nineteen missions, but can range from activating computers, talking to <a href="Non-player_character" title="Non-player character">NPCs</a>, collecting certain items or reaching specific areas.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> The player can run, climb ladders, sneak into vents, crouch behind objects to break the line of sight with enemies, and peek over or lean around for a safe view.<a href="#cite_note-USGamer_guide-3">[3]</a> The player also has the ability to go under tables or inside empty lockers and cabinets to hide from enemies.<a href="#cite_note-USGamer_guide-3">[3]</a>

Amanda encounters various enemies throughout the station, including hostile human survivors and <a href="Android_(robot)" title="Android (robot)">androids</a>. The player can either eliminate them or avoid them using stealth or distractions.<a href="#cite_note-USGamer_guide-3">[3]</a> The main antagonist, the <a href="Xenomorph" title="Xenomorph">Alien</a> (or otherwise referred to by the game's characters as "The Creature"), appears briefly during certain sections across the first four missions, but begins continuously pursuing the player after the completion of mission five, "The Quarantine". The Alien cannot be defeated, requiring the player to use stealth tactics in order to survive.<a href="#cite_note-PCGamer_review-2">[2]</a> Instead of following a predetermined path, the Alien has the ability to actively investigate disturbances and hunt the player by sight or sound.<a href="#cite_note-USGamer_guide-3">[3]</a> Along the way, the player can use both a <a href="Flashlight" title="Flashlight">flashlight</a> and a <a href="Motion_detector" title="Motion detector">motion tracker</a> to detect the Alien's movements. However, using any of these increases the chance of the Alien finding the player. For example, if the Alien is close enough, it will be attracted by the tracker's sound, forcing the player to use the tracker wisely and remove it as soon as it detects motion.<a href="#cite_note-USGamer_guide-3">[3]</a> The motion tracker cannot detect enemies when they are not moving and cannot determine if the Alien is up in the ducts or on ground level. On the game's hardest difficulty setting, Nightmare, the motion tracker is unreliable and the in game <a href="Mini-map" title="Mini-map">mini-map</a>, used to navigate and locate objectives, is unavailable.<a href="#cite_note-USGamer_guide-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-GSpot_review-5">[5]</a>

Although Amanda gains access to a <a href="Revolver" title="Revolver">revolver</a>, <a href="Shotgun" title="Shotgun">shotgun</a>, <a href="Captive_bolt_pistol" title="Captive bolt pistol">bolt gun</a>, <a href="Flamethrower" title="Flamethrower">flamethrower</a>, and <a href="Electroshock_weapon" title="Electroshock weapon">stun baton</a> over the course of the game,<a href="#cite_note-EuroG_review-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-GI_tips-7">[7]</a> Alien: Isolation emphasizes evasion over direct combat by providing limited ammunition.<a href="#cite_note-PCGamer_review-2">[2]</a> The player can also craft useful items by collecting schematics and different materials. Items include <a href="Electromagnetic_pulse" title="Electromagnetic pulse">EMP</a> detonators, noisemakers, <a href="Molotov_cocktail" title="Molotov cocktail">molotov cocktails</a>, and <a href="Pipe_bomb" title="Pipe bomb">pipe bombs</a>; these can help the player deal with enemies.<a href="#cite_note-EuroG_review-6">[6]</a> For example, the noisemaker can be used to attract enemies in a particular direction. The Alien is <a href="Pyrophobia" title="Pyrophobia">afraid of fire</a>, so using flame weapons will force it to temporarily retreat. The player has a limited amount of <a href="Health_(game_terminology)" title="Health (game terminology)">health</a> which decreases when attacked by enemies; health is restored with medkits, which can be crafted with materials in Amanda's inventory, although all of the Alien's attacks (unless it is retreating) will result in instant death.<a href="#cite_note-USGamer_guide-3">[3]</a>

The space station is divided into sections connected by trams and elevators. Some doors require certain actions before entry is allowed; for example, some require a keycard or entry codes, while others need to be hacked by an access tuner or cut open with <a href="Oxy-fuel_welding_and_cutting" title="Oxy-fuel welding and cutting">a welding torch</a>.<a href="#cite_note-GSpot_review-5">[5]</a> Computer terminals and rewiring stations can be used to access information and trigger actions such as disabling security cameras or manipulating the station's air-purification and alarm mechanism. These actions may help to momentarily divert the attention away from the player's position.<a href="#cite_note-GSpot_review-5">[5]</a> To <a href="Saved_game" title="Saved game">save</a> game progress, the player needs to locate a save station terminal and insert Amanda's access card. There is a three second pause before the save can be completed, meaning the player can be killed while attempting to save.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> If Amanda dies, the player will have to restart from the last saved point.<a href="#cite_note-Gamasutra_save_system-9">[9]</a> In addition to the campaign mode, Alien: Isolation features a special mode, called Survivor Mode, in which the player must complete objectives within a time limit on different challenge maps while being hunted by the Alien.<a href="#cite_note-Survivor_Mode-10">[10]</a>

In 2137, fifteen years after her mother <a href="Ellen_Ripley" title="Ellen Ripley">Ellen</a> went missing onboard the <a href="Alien_(film)#Plot" title="Alien (film)">USCSS Nostromo</a>, <a href="List_of_Alien_(franchise)_characters#Amanda_Ripley" title="List of Alien (franchise) characters">Amanda Ripley</a> learns from <a href="Alien_(franchise)#Premise" title="Alien (franchise)">Weyland-Yutani</a> android Christopher Samuels that the Nostromo's <a href="Flight_recorder" title="Flight recorder">flight recorder</a> has been recovered and taken to Sevastopol, a <a href="Space_station" title="Space station">space station</a> owned by Seegson Corporation which orbits the <a href="Gas_giant" title="Gas giant">gas giant</a> KG-348 in the <a href="Zeta_Reticuli" title="Zeta Reticuli">Zeta Reticuli</a> system. Samuels offers Amanda a place on the retrieval team to give her closure, and she accepts. Amanda, Samuels and Weyland-Yutani executive Nina Taylor travel to the station via the USCSS Torrens with the help of the ship's captain Diane Verlaine. After finding the station too damaged to dock, the trio attempt to enter it via a <a href="Extravehicular_activity" title="Extravehicular activity">spacewalk</a>, but their <a href="Extravehicular_activity" title="Extravehicular activity">EVA</a> line is severed by an explosion, and Amanda is separated from the others.

Making her way through the station, Amanda discovers that it has descended into chaos due the presence of a hostile <a href="Xenomorph" title="Xenomorph">alien creature</a> onboard. She eventually finds the flight recorder, but discovers that its data has been corrupted. Amanda then makes her way to Samuels and Taylor; retrieving medical supplies for an injured Taylor, she meets <a href="Marshal" title="Marshal">Marshal</a> Waits and follows him back to his bureau. There, Amanda meets the imprisoned captain of the USCSS Anesidora, Henry Marlow, who explains he recovered the flight recorder and went to <a href="Aliens_(film)#Plot" title="Aliens (film)">LV-426</a>, where his wife was impregnated by a <a href="Xenomorph#Facehugger" title="Xenomorph">facehugger</a> before she fatally birthed the creature on Sevastopol. Waits convinces Amanda to lure the creature to one of the station's modules, where it can be ejected into space. However, Waits ejects the module with Amanda still inside, forcing her to space-jump back to Sevastopol using a <a href="Space_suit" title="Space suit">space suit</a>.

Amanda returns to the bureau to confront Waits, but before she arrives Sevastopol's service androids begin killing the remaining humans, including Waits. Working with Waits' deputy Ricardo, Amanda links up with Samuels, who sacrifices himself to help her access the control core of Sevastopol's <a href="Artificial_intelligence" title="Artificial intelligence">artificial intelligence</a> APOLLO and is destroyed in the process. Amanda also learns from Ricardo that Taylor was secretly sent to retrieve the creature and freed Marlow. At the core, Amanda discovers Weyland-Yutani purchased Sevastopol from Seegson before she arrived at the station, ordering APOLLO to protect the creature at all costs. Amanda informs APOLLO that the creature is no longer onboard, but it responds by stating that "reactor scans are unverified". Descending into the reactor, Amanda finds a nest with numerous aliens, and initiates a reactor purge in an attempt to destroy it. However, this inadvertently forces the aliens to leave the nest, and they begin to hunt Amanda again.

Ricardo informs Ripley that Marlow has returned to the Anesidora, and she follows him. There, Amanda discovers a personal message from Ellen before being confronted by Marlow, who attempts to overload the ship's reactor to destroy Sevastopol and the aliens. Taylor, who also went to the Anesidora, knocks out Marlow but is too late to stop the overload and both are killed in the subsequent explosion, forcing Amanda to flee the ship before it is destroyed. The explosion damages Sevastopol's orbital stabilizers, causing the station to slowly drift into KG-348's atmosphere. Amanda contacts Verlaine for extraction, but a facehugger attacks Ricardo, forcing her to leave him. After helping the Torrens detach from the station, Amanda enters the ship just before Sevastopol is destroyed. However, she finds an alien has boarded the Torrens and killed Verlaine as well; cornered into an airlock, she ejects both herself and it into space. Some time later, a searchlight finds an adrift and unconscious Amanda.

Alien: Isolation was developed by <a href="Creative_Assembly" title="Creative Assembly">Creative Assembly</a>, which is best known for their work on the <a href="Total_War_(video_game_series)" title="Total War (video game series)">Total War</a> <a href="Strategy_video_game" title="Strategy video game">strategy video game</a> series.<a href="#cite_note-Edge_feature-11">[11]</a> A game based on the Alien series from <a href="20th_Century_Fox" class="mw-redirect" title="20th Century Fox">20th Century Fox</a> was conceived when Creative Assembly finished <a href="Viking%3A_Battle_for_Asgard" title="Viking: Battle for Asgard">Viking: Battle for Asgard</a> in 2008, after the publisher, <a href="Sega" title="Sega">Sega</a>, acquired the rights to develop Alien games in December 2006.<a href="#cite_note-Edge_feature-11">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-Alien_license-12">[12]</a> A six-person team developed the first prototype to pitch the idea, wherein one player would control the Alien manually while another would conceal themselves in an environment and try to hide from the creature. The game captured the attention of Sega and the project was eventually approved.<a href="#cite_note-Edge_feature-11">[11]</a> As Creative Assembly had no experience with survival horror games, it hired people from studios such as <a href="Bizarre_Creations" title="Bizarre Creations">Bizarre Creations</a>, <a href="Black_Rock_Studio" title="Black Rock Studio">Black Rock</a>, <a href="Crytek" title="Crytek">Crytek</a>, <a href="Ubisoft" title="Ubisoft">Ubisoft</a>, and <a href="Realtime_Worlds" title="Realtime Worlds">Realtime Worlds</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Edge_feature-11">[11]</a> According to the director, Alistair Hope, the team grew from "a couple of guys crammed in with the Total War team" to 100 by 2014.<a href="#cite_note-Edge_feature-11">[11]</a>

Creative Assembly designed the game more in line with <a href="Ridley_Scott" title="Ridley Scott">Ridley Scott</a>'s 1979 film <a href="Alien_(film)" title="Alien (film)">Alien</a> than <a href="James_Cameron" title="James Cameron">James Cameron</a>'s more action-oriented 1986 sequel <a href="Aliens_(film)" title="Aliens (film)">Aliens</a>.<a href="#cite_note-PCGamer_Making_of-13">[13]</a> To help them authentically recreate the atmosphere of the film, Fox provided three terabytes of original production material, including costume photography, concept art, set design, photos, videos and sound effects.<a href="#cite_note-PCGamer_Making_of-13">[13]</a><a href="#cite_note-18_things-14">[14]</a> The artist John Mckellan said, "It was a proper gold mine. We saw angles of things we'd never seen before."<a href="#cite_note-PCGamer_Making_of-13">[13]</a> During the first stage of development, the developers deconstructed the film to find out what made its setting unique. This would allow them to build new environments that were faithful to it.<a href="#cite_note-PCGamer_Making_of-13">[13]</a> The composers deconstructed the film soundtrack to identify the main cues and extend the soundtrack to fill in the length of the game.<a href="#cite_note-GameFront_feature_4-15">[15]</a> The developers also met the Alien and <a href="Blade_Runner" title="Blade Runner">Blade Runner</a> editor <a href="Terry_Rawlings" title="Terry Rawlings">Terry Rawlings</a>, who gave them additional insight.<a href="#cite_note-PCGamer_Making_of-13">[13]</a>

Rather than pursue a shiny, high-tech <a href="Science_fiction" title="Science fiction">science fiction</a> look, the designers recreated the setting and feel of Alien using the work of the concept artists <a href="Ron_Cobb" title="Ron Cobb">Ron Cobb</a> and <a href="Jean_Giraud" title="Jean Giraud">Mœbius</a>.<a href="#cite_note-18_things-14">[14]</a> As a result, the game features a lo-fi, 1970s vision of the future, with features "clunky" machinery such as phone receivers, monochrome displays and distorted <a href="Cathode_ray_tube" class="mw-redirect" title="Cathode ray tube">CRT</a> monitors.<a href="#cite_note-PCGamer_review-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-18_things-14">[14]</a> To create period-authentic distortion on the in-game monitors, the developers recorded their animations onto <a href="VHS" title="VHS">VHS</a> and <a href="Betamax" title="Betamax">Betamax</a>, then filmed those sequences playing on an old portable television while adjusting the tracking settings.<a href="#cite_note-18_things-14">[14]</a> As digital hacking had not been conceived in the 1970s, the hacking device was built the way it would have been built on the set of the film, and requires players to tune into a computer's signal while selecting icons on its screen.<a href="#cite_note-18_things-14">[14]</a> The team had a rule of not creating anything that the film crew could not have created as a prop in 1979.<a href="#cite_note-GameFront_feature_3-16">[16]</a>

Creative Assembly wanted Alien: Isolation to have a story that was closely related to the film. They explored a story set 15 years after the film which would involve Ellen Ripley's daughter and the Nostromo's flight recorder.<a href="#cite_note-PCGamer_Making_of-13">[13]</a> The writer Will Porter said creating the backstory for Amanda was "refreshing" as he felt that she was an overlooked character.<a href="#cite_note-Hero_Complex_Amanda-17">[17]</a> The actress <a href="Sigourney_Weaver" title="Sigourney Weaver">Sigourney Weaver</a> reprised her role as Ellen Ripley to voice small sections because she felt that the story was interesting and true to the film.<a href="#cite_note-Weaver_voice-18">[18]</a> Along with Weaver, the original Alien cast, which includes <a href="Tom_Skerritt" title="Tom Skerritt">Tom Skerritt</a>, <a href="Veronica_Cartwright" title="Veronica Cartwright">Veronica Cartwright</a>, <a href="Harry_Dean_Stanton" title="Harry Dean Stanton">Harry Dean Stanton</a>, and <a href="Yaphet_Kotto" title="Yaphet Kotto">Yaphet Kotto</a>, reprised their roles for the separate <a href="Downloadable_content" title="Downloadable content">downloadable content</a> missions, marking the first time they were reunited since the release of the film.<a href="#cite_note-IGN_DLC-19">[19]</a> All the characters were created with 3D face scans.<a href="#cite_note-GameFront_feature_2-20">[20]</a> The story was rewritten about a year before release; elements of the previous story were discovered in a console build.<a href="#cite_note-Old_Story-21">[21]</a>

Alien: Isolation runs on a proprietary <a href="Game_engine" title="Game engine">engine</a> that was built from scratch by Creative Assembly.<a href="#cite_note-18_things-14">[14]</a> Previously used in <a href="Viking%3A_Battle_for_Asgard" title="Viking: Battle for Asgard">Viking: Battle for Asgard</a>,<a href="#cite_note-Clive_Gratton_Engine_Talk-22">[22]</a> the engine was adapted to accommodate technical aspects such as the atmospheric and lighting effects and the Alien's behavioural design.<a href="#cite_note-18_things-14">[14]</a> The engine's <a href="Deferred_shading" title="Deferred shading">deferred rendering</a> allowed artists to place "hundreds" of dynamic lights in a scene and achieve great geometric detail.<a href="#cite_note-AMD_Gaming-23">[23]</a> A major <a href="Toolchain" title="Toolchain">toolchain</a> update occurred six months into development. Although the new tools eventually improved <a href="Workflow" title="Workflow">workflow</a>, they initially caused major disruptions because previous work had to be discarded or <a href="Porting" title="Porting">ported</a> into the new tools, taking valuable development time away from the team.<a href="#cite_note-Clive_Gratton_Engine_Talk-22">[22]</a> The Alien was designed to look similar to <a href="H._R._Giger" title="H. R. Giger">H. R. Giger</a>'s original design, including the skull underneath its semitransparent head. However, the designers did alter its humanoid legs with recurved ones to provide the Alien a walk cycle that would hold up to scrutiny during longer encounters with the player.<a href="#cite_note-CraveOnline_article-24">[24]</a> Between 70 and 80 different sets of animation for the Alien were created.<a href="#cite_note-18_things-14">[14]</a> The Alien's <a href="Artificial_intelligence_(video_games)" class="mw-redirect" title="Artificial intelligence (video games)">artificial intelligence</a> was programmed with a complex set of behavioural designs that slowly unlock as it encounters the player, creating the illusion that the Alien learns from each interaction and appropriately adjusts its hunting strategy.<a href="#cite_note-18_things-14">[14]</a> The gameplay designer Gary Napper said, "We needed something that would be different every time you played it. You're going to die a lot, which means restarting a lot, and if the Alien was scripted, you'd see the same behaviour. That makes the Alien become predictable, and a lot less scary."<a href="#cite_note-18_things-14">[14]</a> The save system was inspired by a scene in the film where Captain Dallas uses a key-card to access Nostromo's computer, Mother.<a href="#cite_note-Gamasutra_save_system-9">[9]</a>

The developers originally planned to add a feature that would allow players to craft weapons, but the idea was ultimately discarded. According to Hope, "We thought about what people would want to do in order to survive. We explored different ideas, and one of them was fashioning weapons to defend yourself. That was quite early on, but then we realised that this game isn't really about pulling the trigger."<a href="#cite_note-PCGamer_Making_of-13">[13]</a> Another cancelled feature was the Alien's iconic acid blood as a game mechanic, which could melt through metal like in the film. Although the feature was reportedly implemented at one point, it was removed because the developers felt it would take the game in a "weird" direction.<a href="#cite_note-PCGamer_Making_of-13">[13]</a><a href="#cite_note-18_things-14">[14]</a> Although the game is played from a first-person perspective, it was developed for a considerable amount of time in <a href="Virtual_camera_system" title="Virtual camera system">third-person</a> view. The perspective was changed after the team realised that first person changed the gameplay experience significantly. Hope explained that, in third-person view, Alien: Isolation would have become "a game about jockeying the camera and looking after your avatar. But in first-person it's you that's being hunted. If you're hiding behind an object and you want to get a better view of your surroundings, you have to move."<a href="#cite_note-PCGamer_Making_of-13">[13]</a> Development took four years after Creative Assembly pitched the idea to Sega.<a href="#cite_note-PCGamer_Making_of-13">[13]</a> Alien: Isolation was <a href="Software_release_life_cycle#Release_to_manufacturing_(RTM)" title="Software release life cycle">released to manufacturing</a> on 9 September 2014.<a href="#cite_note-Going_gold-25">[25]</a> It is dedicated to Simon Franco, a programmer who died during development.<a href="#cite_note-EuroG_honour-26">[26]</a>

Critical reception for Alien: Isolation was "generally favourable", according to review aggregator <a href="Metacritic" title="Metacritic">Metacritic</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Metacritic_PC-56">[56]</a><a href="#cite_note-Metacritic_PS4-57">[57]</a><a href="#cite_note-Metacritic_XONE-58">[58]</a> Josh Harmon of <a href="Electronic_Gaming_Monthly" title="Electronic Gaming Monthly">Electronic Gaming Monthly</a> felt that Alien: Isolation "succeeds as a genuine effort to capture the spirit of the film franchise in playable form, rather than a lazy attempt to use it as an easy backdrop for a cash-in with an ill-fitting genre."<a href="#cite_note-EGM_review-62">[62]</a> Writing for <a href="GameSpot" title="GameSpot">GameSpot</a>, Kevin VanOrd praised the tense and frightening gameplay, stating that "when all mechanics are working as intended, alien-evasion is dread distilled into its purest, simplest form."<a href="#cite_note-GSpot_review-5">[5]</a> However, he criticised the "trial and error" progression and frustrating distances between save points.<a href="#cite_note-GSpot_review-5">[5]</a> Jeff Marchiafava of <a href="Game_Informer" title="Game Informer">Game Informer</a> stated similar pros, but criticised the voice acting and dialogue.<a href="#cite_note-GI_review-63">[63]</a>

The visuals and atmosphere were praised. Polygon editor Arthur Gies felt that Alien: Isolation is "a beautiful game, full of deep shadows and mystery around every corner," while Dan Whitehead of <a href="Eurogamer" title="Eurogamer">Eurogamer</a> praised the lighting and unusually compelling environment design.<a href="#cite_note-EuroG_review-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-Poly_review-68">[68]</a> IGN's Ryan McCaffrey gave high marks to the retro-futuristic art direction and sound design, writing: "From wisps of smoke that billow out of air vents to clouds of white mist that obscure your vision when you rewire an area's life-support systems in order to aid your stealthy objectives, Isolation certainly looks and sounds like a part of the Alien universe."<a href="#cite_note-IGN_review-67">[67]</a> Similarly, PC Gamer said that the art design sets Alien: Isolation apart from the likes of <a href="System_Shock" title="System Shock">System Shock</a> or <a href="Dead_Space_(2008_video_game)" title="Dead Space (2008 video game)">Dead Space</a> and creates a "convincing science-fiction world, with machines and environments that are functional and utilitarian, rather than overtly futuristic."<a href="#cite_note-PCGamer_review-2">[2]</a>

The characters were criticised; Game Informer stated that "Amanda exhibits little growth or personality, other than concern for her fellow humans and a desire not to die gruesomely,"<a href="#cite_note-GI_review-63">[63]</a> while Blake Peterson of <a href="GameRevolution" class="mw-redirect" title="GameRevolution">GameRevolution</a> noted that none of the characters are fully developed. According to him, "we never spend enough time with them to build the emotional bond necessary for their inevitable deaths to mean anything."<a href="#cite_note-GameRev_review-64">[64]</a> <a href="GameTrailers" title="GameTrailers">GameTrailers</a> said that most of the computer terminals contain unoriginal logs to describe predictable events, but also remarked that reading reports from different computer terminals "grounds Sevastopol in an appreciable way."<a href="#cite_note-GT_review-66">[66]</a>

Writing for <a href="GamesRadar" class="mw-redirect" title="GamesRadar">GamesRadar</a>, David Houghton praised the Alien's advanced artificial intelligence, stating that "progress becomes a case of 'if' and 'how', not 'when'. Movement is measured in inches and feet rather than metres, and simply remaining alive becomes more exhilarating than any objective achieved."<a href="#cite_note-GRadar_review-65">[65]</a> Peterson praised the gameplay as tense, scary and effective, writing that Alien: Isolation is "a solid, incredibly striking example of the [survival horror] genre that uses its first person perspective to greater personalize the horror".<a href="#cite_note-GameRev_review-64">[64]</a> PC Gamer credited the crafting system for creating "a lot of unexpected depth", allowing players to outsmart enemies in multiple ways.<a href="#cite_note-PCGamer_review-2">[2]</a> The Survivor Mode was praised by Chris Carter of <a href="Destructoid" title="Destructoid">Destructoid</a>, who felt it offered players different feelings and experiences each time they played it.<a href="#cite_note-Destruct_review-61">[61]</a>

Although the gameplay was praised by several reviewers, some found Isolation unnecessarily long, repetitive, and unforgiving.<a href="#cite_note-GSpot_review-5">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-IGN_review-67">[67]</a><a href="#cite_note-Poly_review-68">[68]</a> In a mixed review, McCaffrey felt that it did not offer many options of survival, requiring players to spend most of their time hiding in lockers "staring at the motion tracker".<a href="#cite_note-IGN_review-67">[67]</a> Polygon criticised the overexposure to the Alien, turning Alien: Isolation into an irritating experience. As Gies explained, "Every time I thought I heard the monster, every blip on my motion tracker, was a cause for a tightness in my chest at first.
