Isolation really doesn't get enough credit. Solid concept, story, gameplay, world building and stays true to the original. Hope they make a sequel.

This game needs a damn sequel because it was a masterpiece!

[xtntxex]

This game honors the original film and yet it stands strong on its own as a survival horror game. Would love to see a sequel to this.

Best game ever made, . The detail is amazing. The Story is great. Would make a great movie

[Xendrius]

Alien isolation was perfection. And it runs smooth as butter.

I don't want a mobile game, what I really want is Alien Isolation 2

[PonderingGhost]

Being a super fan of the first three movies, especially the first, this game was a love letter to those fans such as myself. The game far exceeded my expectations as few games do. It was the reason I bought a PS4 and the only PS4 game I got a Platinum trophy for. Not dying on a perfect play through on Nightmare mode was truly terrifying. It had me on edge the entire time. To Creative Assembly, thank you for creating an experience I will never forget. Thank you for making the Xenomorph terrifying again, a feat that Sir Ridley can't recreate anymore. Thank you for bringing legitimacy to the Alien video game franchise. I don't foresee this game being toppled as far the Alien Universe experience goes. The other one that comes close is the Alien vs Predator game for Atari Jaguar. That game far exceeded my expectations as well.

This game deserves not only a second part but a movie

Greate work!!! For me, this is not just a game - this is a real gift for a fan of the Alien Universe. Thank you so much to your team!
Respect from Russia.
P.s. I really hope to someday see the continuation of this story. And so it was you who developed it.

One of the best and most atmospheric horror games there are. It was the first game we played on our first playstation and it just blew us away. We always looked for a similar experience after that but no game came even close to this nerve wracking atmosphere.
I would be so happy if they made a sequel!

I must say thank you Creative Assembly. You guys have breathed into life a game that I have wanted ever since I saw the first Alien movie in 1998 as a child. All these years and to finally have a game to do ALIEN justice is phenomenal. Thank. You.

Now please, make a game to do ALIENS justice and show Gearbox how its supposed to be done.

What's glorious with this game, aside of the astonishing tribute payed to Alien:

It's really an indie concept in an AAA skin. Not afraid to piss anybody off by deaths or by making them feel bored from spending minutes in a locker. Where's my guns, set pieces and explosions I'm used to see in my blockbuster games? 4 outta 10.

It's a miracle this was at all greenlit. And this also only happened because of Creative Assembly's alien fandom -- and guerilla style pitching to Sega. Same as the movie: one of a kind.

This game sets the bar. Other game developers should take note..

[faryanshah]

Absolutely 10/10 score very best game horror / sci-fi ever. Hope team sequel for part 2

[cjay]

Please give us a sequel to this masterpiece!!

[Capellofficial]

The head tilt at 2:58, yeah admit it. You did that too when you were trying to hide.

[DanielS]

These creators should do for The Terminator what they did for the xenomorph. We need a game that captures the horror of the Terminator like how we have it with the Alien.

[jolesco]

Best horror game ever, still play it, simply nothing else like it

[jackgaulsfitnessvlog]

fucking love this game. played it 5 times now on nightmare mode

[TheActs]

Amazing game! Really feel many elements and props from the sequel ALIENS was also included, possibly indirectly. Set decor, rewire system, sound effects... shoot just finished the game and watched Aliens the last two nights. Watched Alien about a week ago...
