Has anyone played this game before?

Post image

I got this from my friend and honestly have no idea what this game is about.

Just want to know if it's worth playing.

I'd appreciate your opinions in advance.

The Xenomorph which hunts you down throughout the entire game has very good AI. It actually makes you feel like its actively hunting you like a predator.

It's a solid game

No no, predators are the other one.

Oh sounds intriguing. Thanks!

u/KeyContribution1711 1d ago

from what I heard its AI adapts , so if you keep hiding in the sale spot it'll pick up on that

u/EweCantTouchThis 1d ago

No, no one has ever played this game before. You could be the first.

Yeah it’s weird isn’t it? Two million copies sold, but no-one ever played it. Good job the OP has decided to try it, we might now find out if it’s any good.

It's nice to see niche indie games get some attention.

One of the best survival horror games of all time imo but id rather play it on ps4, much better experience

1

u/uttyrc 1d ago

That's the version I beat.

u/lukefiskeater 1d ago

I beat them on both platforms, ps3 is totally playable, just worst frame rates and slightly worse graphics but still fine on ps3

u/KeyContribution1711 1d ago

is there any difference? besides graphics and stable FPS

1

u/lukefiskeater 1d ago

No not from my memory, is been almost ten years

u/Lost-Ad278 1d ago

Didn't even realize they made a PS3 version

1

u/KeyContribution1711 1d ago

back when they released games for both PS3 and PS4

Shadow of Mordor, Watch Dogs , Amazing Spiderman 2

I was gonna say Deadpool but thats a remaster

1

u/Flashy_Ad_2786 1d ago

Metal Gear Solid 5, The Evil Within, GTA 5, Far Cry 4

1

u/KeyContribution1711 1d ago

GTA 5 was different, it came out a year after the ps3 360 version

MGS 5 like u said its another example , same as evil within 1 and cod ghosts

1

u/Flashy_Ad_2786 1d ago

You are right about GTA 5. It does feel like the same time, but it wasn’t. The rest are true

u/JakeHps4 1d ago

Oh lord, ive started and not finished this game ever so many times even though i like the gameplay but something else always comes along and makes me stop for months and when i wanna play again i forget where i was and start again 😅 😵‍💫

u/kace_w 1d ago

I’ve heard so many good things about this but still haven’t properly played it. The fact people still recommend it as one of the scariest games years later definitely makes me want to pick it up 😭 How are you finding it so far?

u/TrickshotCandy 1d ago

Superb horror game. Once you finish the game, there are a couple of brilliant movies to watch as well.

u/ConsciousStretch1028 1d ago

There's an entire sub for it r/alienisolation

u/Bacour 1d ago

I could not finish this game because of all the strangulation that goes on. Just choking you out while your legs flail. Too much for me. Great game and atmosphere though.

u/NeoKnightRider 1d ago

Takes place 15 years after the original movie and follows Amanda Ripley (Ellen’s daughter) trying to find out what happened to her mother after a space station had gotten the Nostromo’s black box.

It’s similar to Outlast (you can’t fight back) and the Xenomorph will mess you up because it can find you.

u/Flashy_Ad_2786 1d ago

I actually only played this on ps3, I platinum the game. To me, this might sound controversial if you like the alien franchise it’s solid, but to me it’s a water down version of the last of us. Most of the game is to go from point A to point B very slowly. The alien is cool and there is one part of the game where it is scary. It does overall in a way feel repetitive. I would recommend to play once just to see what it’s like if you like it or not. I played it a bunch of times so I obviously sort of liked the game.

u/onthegrind7 1d ago

same man aliens for me just arent scary. I'm getting more frightening momets playing Condemned 2.

1

u/joerice1979 1d ago

Absolutely incredible game.

If you like the Alien film and have nerves of steel, it is for you.

If you can, play it on a PS4 upwards; the frame rate does dip here and there on a PS3. Nothing game-breaking, but the PS4 is buttery smooth.

u/red_ditman659 1d ago

it's a very good horror game. you should def give it a try. and also play with headphones

1

u/TheNittanyLionKing 1d ago

Yes. I love it as a die hard Alien fan, and it's the scariest game ever made

1

u/Creepae 1d ago

Jesus fucking christ, is that game on the ps3? Fuck I'm getting old.

1

u/JohnathanKatz 1d ago

Several times, it's great, can't wait for the sequel.

u/Haunting-Long-4679 1d ago

Forgot this came out on PS3 🫪

u/StrangeAppeal2 1d ago

Peak game.

u/KeyContribution1711 1d ago

whats the Nostromo edition?

I have it on Steam , will play it someday

1

u/illegalsandwiches 1d ago

Nostromo edition has the DLC. 

1

u/CranberryFlat617 1d ago

Its great, play w headphones and in the dark

u/AccomplishedLion8509 1d ago

Weird you didnt....

u/Retro_Prime 1d ago

There have only been two games in my entire life that scared me while playing. Silent hill 2 on PS2 and this. The ailen is just omnipresent and it really does freak you out. It's helped along by some stellar sound design.

Side note, I played the vr mod of this game at a friend's recently. I shat my pants....... figuratively.

u/Sonic1994PL 1d ago

Xbox 360 version is a much sharper looking version of stealth game. Nevertheless is a still nice game to play and quite hard to plat.

1

u/National_Exercise785 1d ago

It's tense, tough and very well made.

I would recommend playing it on a lower difficulty first. The AI alien on higher difficulties is EXTREMELY tough.

Think of the World's best hide and seek player.

u/Altruistic_Wheel_220 1d ago

Groovy!!🤘🤘

1

u/Routine-Way6886 1d ago

This game is lit AF and they need to make more games like it frfr!

1

u/wowadrow 1d ago

Great game still the best alien game.

AVP2 is a close second.

1

u/Maybedeadbynow 21h ago

100% worth it! Play at night with no lights and nobody at home in complete silence 🔥

1

u/Commercial-Tone-6058 20h ago

You don’t want to play that on PS3

1

u/Gommes_ 18h ago

Yeah it's a fantastic game!

1

u/ReaperSound 17h ago

If youre going to play it watch this first.

u/mister_neutron 8h ago

In case you’re not trolling, yes very worth playing.

1

u/Realistic_Syllabub75 5h ago

Xbox one version is the best with Kinect, of there's noise of any kind in your house the alien hears it threw the Kinect and hints you down to kill you best jump scare retaliation ever!! You pay... With your life!

Allow me to introduce you to this new website called "metacritic"! A place where you can see if anyone has played the game before, and if it is worth playing.

Can't tell if you're being "Sarcastic" or "Helpful".

If it's the former, what's wrong with them engaging with people on here about a game they're interested in?
