Alien Isolation
Added 2024-09-01 04:46:36 +0000 UTCI don’t care how many accolades this game receives or how much praise it garners, I hate Hidey Games. That’s a term I invented just now for this particular genre. You know the kind, games where the monster is soooo scary they don’t even let you fight it, and make you creep around the entire game with a flashlight hiding in lockers. These kinds of games are great for a sleep aid and not much else.
In it’s defense, Alien is a perfect fit for this genre, and it’s cool to have a game that feels more in line with the first film than the sequels. So yeah, i respect it, doesn’t mean i have to like it. Call me a meathead if you must but I still prefer the shooty ones.
This game in particular is so mind numbingly tedious i couldn’t even lose it, cause i couldn’t find the fucking Alien! Who’s the one hiding here? I was making as much noise as possible running in circles trying to figure out where to go because the entire stupid ship looks the same. I have to assume the alien was off in some dark ventilation duct, wrapping it’s second mouth around it’s own scary wiener. It sure as fuck wasn’t interested in killing my noisy complaining ass.
Maybe it’s called Alien Isolation cause I’m literally alone, the alien is fuckin off somewhere else! To hell with this game and every un-scary Hidey Game like it.
