Lets review why this game owns:

1) Can't pick up dropped guns in an FPS in a year of our lord 2014
2) "Scary" background noises
3) Moronic AI that pretends to be intelligent by wallhacking
4) Luck based stealth system
5) Levels are 3 shades of brown, olive and metal covered in darkness

for real is this game good

people compared it to amnesia and amnesia worked as a short Indie game but wouldn't be much fun for a long rear end $60 game

is this game worth full price (I mean I'm not going to buy it or anything)

I don't know, but the idea was to given the Alien clear verbal cues so the player can learn them and respond to them. I think it's a neat idea but I never played the game. Also apparently the AI is supposed to get better over the course of the 20 hour game so it looks like the Alien is "learning".

here's hoping for a sequel where they get rid of that stomping and hissing and make the Alien the silent lethal murder holocaust-in-a-can it's supposed to be

maybe Alien 3: Isolation, where you try to keep enough mongrels alive to kill the thing and then yourself before Weyland-Yutani shows up

the even worse AI will make that game a hoot

that would be incredibly unfun to play

and it'd kill the tension when you hide and know the thing is looking for you like a roided out roommate who knows you're two months late on the rent

I'm hopelessly in love with filthy neon futures, so I like the look of a dark gray ship broken up by muted whites and lots of dim vibrant colors

Make you feel like the whole place was cobbled together from a thousand abandoned night clubs and metal factories, and the alien is ready to loving boogey

drat. Never thought about famous sci-fi action film "Aliens" in this way before. Your brilliant movie thoughts have opened my mind to new thoughts. God bless.
