I like how the alien in this game doesn't have a simple pattern when its wandering around. It unpredictably moves anywhere. That's really what made this game tricky.
@John S That is really cool. I kind of did a mix of everything, hiding, sneaking away, flamethrower usage, so I didnt notice much changes to how it hunts me.
One of the worst things it learns is about the noise maker as if you use it too much it will begin to learn to follow where it was thrown from and just become more alert when it hears it instead of going to where it lands
I remember. The journalist had no idea how to play the game, didnt even try to learn and then complained about the game. He was literally too stupid to manage the gameplay on easy and expected a shooter. It really was the most retarded video review I ever watched
Same. My childhood fears pretty much stem from the Xenomorph. I bought the game on steam and have yet to actually dive in. Primarily because " I don't need that shit in my life". Lol. I still watch the videos though.
There is never a moment it lets up. There's never a moment where you feel like you've finally got a good grasp of things. Hide, go slowly, never run. Pray it doesn't decide to check under the desk.
Fun fact. The game actually has two AI's. Both independent and unaware of each other. One AI runs the game mechanics, and the other ONLY runs the ALIEN. Astounding concept really.
@Я не знаю как говорить по-русски one gives a hint to what part of the map you are at, then the other AI which is the alien itself, has to find you using vision and noise.
It's like an instinct, so relatable. After cowardly just pausing and loading a few times before he got to me I had to stop doing that and just accept my fate. Scary goddamn game
I wish it casted shadows! Doesn’t seem like a big deal but if it fills the corridor wall before you actually see it, I think it would be scarier and pretty cool
@@observantmagic4156 you literally have a sensor that tells you where it is behind walls, please enlighten me how it would be that much easier? Besides ill take a few percentage points of ease for a much more immersive and scary experience
When you're hiding under a desk never bring out the flamethrower unless you're going to use it. It's flame will always give you away and when the Alien attacks you won't have a chance to fire it.
Tom Paul You can’t kill the alien at all. Just stun him. And the flamethrower just scares him away. But if you don’t use enough flame on him on nightmare difficultly, then it won’t scare him off. He’ll just grab you and kill you. But on easy difficulties, he’ll grab you then let go and run away. Also... the alien adapts to your tactics, so (I’ve never seen this personally) but apparently he will get so used to the flamethrower, and won’t be afraid of it anymore. That he’ll eventually just kill you. So use it wisely.
@@Jdabomb93 its not that he get used to it, but it will be harder to scare it away. it will force u to spend flame ammo by staying back but not going into vents. flame is still the most effective, but it should be last resort weapon.

It's not that old of a game. The first Assassin's Creed game came out in the year 2007 & its graphics hold up to this day. This game came out 7 years later in 2014.

This game makes it seem like the Xenomorph has eyeballs and is looking for you, which it doesn't. Its giant brain is used as a sensory organ, so hiding under a table wouldn't work in a real Ridley Scott movie.
It does have eyes under the translucent dome. The things is if it had other senses to locate you why would a smoke bomb blind it? And it also sees through glass.
I bought an Oculus Rift specifically to play this game. I made it about half way through before "taking a break" (for like 2 years) because it's so damn stressful.
@@clayman1980 This is the game VR was made for. If you have an Oculus and know how to get the game running, it's pretty easy actually, it's worth trying.
It's not scary, you just have the fear of dying but knowing how the AI works, not even that scares me anymore We need a psychological horror game with this roaming monster AI based in liminal spaces to make you uncomfortable, scared, uneasy while giving you a false sense of security by making chill but creepy, old music play in the background, just to be interrupted by the creatures loud and terrifying footsteps
This was my absolute most hated room in the entire game lol. The alien patrols between this room, the hallway outside and the other room, and that's it.
The first time I heard that this game was scary I was like what!? You're kidding me I've watched the movies and it's not scary at all. Then I bought the game and I played for like 5 minutes and boy I was very wrong. Literally the scariest game I've ever played I wasn't sure if I was gonna finish it coz I was scared lol, but i did finish the game. It's brilliant!
Funniest shit I've ever heard Though I'm not going to play it anytime soon lmao I'll get it tomorrow for free on the Epic games store but won't play it no matter how good it looks. I'd be sitting on the toilet shirring while playing this
I made it through this game thinking it was fun and all that, but for years following that single playthrough I've had reoccurring nightmares from it. This shit can really get into you. One hell of a game!
Fun fact: the alien already knows where you are but it takes the longest route to find you- And the alien AI also adapts to your hiding patterns to counter you in the second half of the game-
If anyone noticed the detail in the game the first alien you encounter always has his tail just dragging around, but wen you encounter different aliens all their tails are just being held straight and up. That's mainly how I would always figure out where was Vlad and who wasn't. Awesome detail from the game
Honestly those things can cause more problems than they solve. I only use them and flares when I absolutely have to as they have a disturbing tendency to bounce off nearby furniture and back towards you. Far more useful in my experience against Joes and human enemies as you can carefully plan your throw rather than attempt a panicked fumble in the heat of the moment.
I am playing through isolation for the 3rd time and just did this area the other day, it seems to NEVER leave you alone in that area at all and when you FINALLY make it to the end you can't get out and then have to go back to the airlock. I bought it on release day and played it through then. Then couple years later played through it again. Now I am playing through it again and its still SCARY AF. I understand some that cant play it though, there are times where I just have to take a few days off of it cause my nerves are totally shot. Creative assembly built a masterpiece with this.
imagine seeing this game at 03.00 a.m. alone in home, saturday night, headphones max vol, and a drunken fool appears to scratch ur back I almost kill my sister
through first play through I saved on everything. through the second one, I'm saving even more. I think on third, I plan to do it without using any items at all lol
Idk if you know this but the Xenomorph's skull has an actual human skull with eye sockets, so it can see. Also, I know people are mixed on it, but in Alien: Covenant we see the point of view of the Xenomorph, and it's regular human vision but with a filter and slightly blurry because of the dome that covers it.
@@Veachie Repeat after me: Alien Covenant never happened. And no, xenomorphs can't see. Their skull is just a subproduct of spawning from a human host. They use a lot of other senses to localize their prey, mostly pheromones. That's why it's literally impossible to hide from a Xenomorph under the table, and also why they don't attack androids, since they don't emit pheromones.
@@Veachie They can sense her actions. But not see per light spectrum as we do. Xenomorphs have a LOT of senses, they can see you but not the way you and I do. It's on the damn wiki, go read it.
The atmosphere is what makes this game great. The attention to detail makes you feel like you are actually there. The alarms and lights and the area looking legit af. Also, what we seen here, I am assuming you aren't on the hardest setting. That is when the game gets real fun and the terror really sets in. Especially if it's your first time and you play like death actually matters. Such a thrill. You can't go and experience that again so I make sure to do it right and truly earn it. Now imagine this with a vr headset and maybe some speakers to give you a rumble when he walks by? The stuff nightmares are born from.
Great story to this game. Hard for cod / battlefield multi players or doomesq gamers to zone into but hd visuals and Dolby atmos makes it. Almost psychologically the most terrifying game ever and it puts anyone immersed in a desperate cat and mouse survival game. After completing each level it’s nice to just take deep long breaths and get heart back inside your rib cage
There was a harder mode with a failing scanner right? I finished it on that difficulty and the Alien became just a nuisance because its movements felt unfair and frequent reloads were required.
How it jittered towards you at 1:01 like I was about to pounce legit made me jump, I swear this game is more cinematic than some movies even when it's not trying to be
Remember when ign dissed this game for hard mode being "too hard" and the a.i being to smart? Lol I guess the bots from cod who just stare at you b4 they shoot on the hardest setting are what the world needs smh. This game is awesome and is what a HORROR game should be like. It's not simple and repetitive like every other horror survivor
One of the most freaky and stressful experiences I had with the alien was when it saw me, I pulled out the flame thrower as he started walking toward me. It just stopped, knowing what it was... and just stood there staring at me waiting for me to make my move. That dead stare it gave off letting me know it will kill me as soon as I turned my back. Awesome game for sure.
@@ryanfarrar9185 Electomagnetic impulse. Similar to a shark. Even though they don't have eyes, they are still able to project an image to their brain. Alien Covenant shows it from a green fisheye lense on how they see. It's more similar to radar than actual sight, but they seem to be aware of human actions like pressing buttons or in Aliens when the Queen and worker drones stopped pursuing when Ridley threatened an egg with the flamethrower.
I finished this on Switch while exclusively playing it with headphones on. Genuinely screamed at certain points but I love a good survival horror - admittedly the game is quite repetitive with the constant computer hacking and it’s a tad long but when it’s super simple and it’s you locked into a sector where you can hear the Xenomorph clanging about in the vents above…it’s beyond horrifying. The AI is truly brilliant, so unpredictable and made me shit my pants a few times. 5.9/10 from IGN because of frustrating AI?! It’s called playing the game stealthily, understanding all the radar cues and reacting to them. If the game had the exact AI routine it would be total wank. IGN blow my mind….let me work for them and sort things out there 🤣
Pausing at the end like that reminds me of my playthrough XD that shit was so intense I had to stop and calm down lots of times. When I got to the reactor core for the first time and the elevator doors open up I took one look and just turned my game off for a few hours lol
What I love about this game or any Alien/Predator game....is that it shows humans as we truly are compared to these two...a fragile little creatures. Humans run from both, Predators hunt Xenos as the ultimate prey, Xenos hunt humans for food, Predators hunt humans for sport (lesser trophy,if worthy).
Why do people want to play this? I mean I like watching the clips, but that's the most amount of stress I can deal with. I'd brick myself if I played it.
I've played horror games for years but this game is terrifying! Not knowing what's beyond each corner or what lies ahead the alien being unpredictable and having to deal with the alien people and the androids which are essentially terminators! All with badass graphics as an alien fan and a horror game fan this game is a masterpiece!
I thought Outlast was a stressful game but this shit takes the cake! I find myself FREQUENTLY pausing this to get a grip!🤦🏾♀️I know it’s a game but GAADAMN!!
Ever had the alien make that loud telltale hissing sound like it's suddenly seen you but it actually hasn't? Whenever it almost sees you and makes the hissing sound, like it's just doing a double take, those moments are terrifying because your breath catches in your throat and you can't tell if it's seen you or not.
I like how the alien in this game doesn't have a simple pattern when its wandering around. It unpredictably moves anywhere. That's really what made this game tricky.
John S If you use your flame thrower too much, the alien will just start ignoring it.
@John S That is really cool. I kind of did a mix of everything, hiding, sneaking away, flamethrower usage, so I didnt notice much changes to how it hunts me.

Sheesh i let out a massive sigh of relief and felt like I could breathe again after the video ended XD
Brought backmemories playes this when it first came out
One of the scariest games I’ve ever played
Alien has eyes? I thought they had like those ultrasonic vision or smth
Idk if you know this but the Xenomorph's skull has an actual human skull with eye sockets, so it can see. Also, I know people are mixed on it, but in Alien: Covenant we see the point of view of the Xenomorph, and it's regular human vision but with a filter and slightly blurry because of the dome that covers it.
@@Veachie thx, And yes I have seen alien: covenant
@@Veachie we first see xenomorph vision in alien3
@@Veachie Repeat after me: Alien Covenant never happened. And no, xenomorphs can't see. Their skull is just a subproduct of spawning from a human host. They use a lot of other senses to localize their prey, mostly pheromones. That's why it's literally impossible to hide from a Xenomorph under the table, and also why they don't attack androids, since they don't emit pheromones.
@@Veachie They can sense her actions. But not see per light spectrum as we do. Xenomorphs have a LOT of senses, they can see you but not the way you and I do. It's on the damn wiki, go read it.
The atmosphere is what makes this game great. The attention to detail makes you feel like you are actually there. The alarms and lights and the area looking legit af.
Also, what we seen here, I am assuming you aren't on the hardest setting. That is when the game gets real fun and the terror really sets in. Especially if it's your first time and you play like death actually matters. Such a thrill. You can't go and experience that again so I make sure to do it right and truly earn it.
Now imagine this with a vr headset and maybe some speakers to give you a rumble when he walks by? The stuff nightmares are born from.
Great story to this game. Hard for cod / battlefield multi players or doomesq gamers to zone into but hd visuals and Dolby atmos makes it. Almost psychologically the most terrifying game ever and it puts anyone immersed in a desperate cat and mouse survival game. After completing each level it’s nice to just take deep long breaths and get heart back inside your rib cage
There was a harder mode with a failing scanner right? I finished it on that difficulty and the Alien became just a nuisance because its movements felt unfair and frequent reloads were required.
I'd love to play this but don't think my anxiety could take it. Played amnesia years ago. Don't know if I could do a game like it again.
How it jittered towards you at 1:01 like I was about to pounce legit made me jump, I swear this game is more cinematic than some movies even when it's not trying to be
These vids keep showing up in my recommended, every time the pause menu comes up, I see "Load Pants" instead of "Load Game".
Remember when ign dissed this game for hard mode being "too hard" and the a.i being to smart? Lol I guess the bots from cod who just stare at you b4 they shoot on the hardest setting are what the world needs smh. This game is awesome and is what a HORROR game should be like. It's not simple and repetitive like every other horror survivor
One of the most freaky and stressful experiences I had with the alien was when it saw me, I pulled out the flame thrower as he started walking toward me. It just stopped, knowing what it was...
and just stood there staring at me waiting for me to make my move. That dead stare it gave off letting me know it will kill me as soon as I turned my back.
Awesome game for sure.
stare? i'm not familiar enough with xenomorph lore, so can xenomorphs actually see?
@@ryanfarrar9185 Electomagnetic impulse. Similar to a shark. Even though they don't have eyes, they are still able to project an image to their brain. Alien Covenant shows it from a green fisheye lense on how they see. It's more similar to radar than actual sight, but they seem to be aware of human actions like pressing buttons or in Aliens when the Queen and worker drones stopped pursuing when Ridley threatened an egg with the flamethrower.
1:02 the way his head snapped to look right at you 😂😂😂
Ah man playing this game was like watching Alien for the first time again
1:01 "GASP".. oop nevermind
my thoughts exactly hahaha
I finished this on Switch while exclusively playing it with headphones on. Genuinely screamed at certain points but I love a good survival horror - admittedly the game is quite repetitive with the constant computer hacking and it’s a tad long but when it’s super simple and it’s you locked into a sector where you can hear the Xenomorph clanging about in the vents above…it’s beyond horrifying.
The AI is truly brilliant, so unpredictable and made me shit my pants a few times. 5.9/10 from IGN because of frustrating AI?! It’s called playing the game stealthily, understanding all the radar cues and reacting to them. If the game had the exact AI routine it would be total wank. IGN blow my mind….let me work for them and sort things out there 🤣
The game ran good on the switch? Just curious
Pausing at the end like that reminds me of my playthrough XD that shit was so intense I had to stop and calm down lots of times. When I got to the reactor core for the first time and the elevator doors open up I took one look and just turned my game off for a few hours lol
I didn't realize I was holding my breath until a minute and sixteen seconds in.
Good thing you wore your brown pants.
Heheh Deadpool reference.
Wow that alien is dumb if it cant find you under the desk
It really isn't.
it seems he's most likely playing on novice difficulty
Have you played the game?
What I love about this game or any Alien/Predator game....is that it shows humans as we truly are compared to these two...a fragile little creatures. Humans run from both, Predators hunt Xenos as the ultimate prey, Xenos hunt humans for food, Predators hunt humans for sport (lesser trophy,if worthy).
Woaw you really knew how to play the game, that was a pleasure to watch : )
Why do people want to play this? I mean I like watching the clips, but that's the most amount of stress I can deal with.
I'd brick myself if I played it.
People just really really love horror and love getting scared so it's an acquired taste. Helps a lot if youre playing with a friend for company.
I remember the androids were scary too. "YOU ARE IN A RESTRICTED AREA" Walks towards you with malevolent intent.
@1:03 just look at that taillll slip into shadow, so good.
When the thumbnail straight up looks like it’s trying to “Tip-Toe” around you cause it’s scared too 😹
I felt that pause in my soul
there must be a BFG 9000 lurking around somewhere just....gotta....find....it....
Loved this game. You don't beat the game, you get through it.
This game makes me feel that we have vents and air ducts in our house
The thumbnail looked like the alien was moonwalking.
Ypu're stressing me out with this man
Aliens like that are my biggest fear you can’t pay me enough to play alone
Holy hills, I swallowed for a second. Risk in the las moment. But has saved.
I've played horror games for years but this game is terrifying! Not knowing what's beyond each corner or what lies ahead the alien being unpredictable and having to deal with the alien people and the androids which are essentially terminators! All with badass graphics as an alien fan and a horror game fan this game is a masterpiece!
@Peter Parlee oh of course they are just tough or more like the terminators before the t800 series
One of my all time fave games!
Even seeing clips this game makes my sphincter tighten
God this is a masterpiece. Only letdown was no Queen at the end.
I thought Outlast was a stressful game but this shit takes the cake! I find myself FREQUENTLY pausing this to get a grip!🤦🏾♀️I know it’s a game but GAADAMN!!
I played this game twice and it Was amazing. Hope a second Part come true...
Ever had the alien make that loud telltale hissing sound like it's suddenly seen you but it actually hasn't? Whenever it almost sees you and makes the hissing sound, like it's just doing a double take, those moments are terrifying because your breath catches in your throat and you can't tell if it's seen you or not.
That was very close ..... Huh, i love this game so much!
