Action Alien: Isolation takes place a decade and a half after the events of the space horror film Alien. Here players will have to transform into a girl named Amanda, who is the daughter of Ellen Ripley. The heroine is an engineer for the Weyland-Yutani megacorporation, who must fly to the Sevastopol space base after she discovers that there is a Nostromo flight recorder there, which can answer all questions, including the location of her mother.

In the game “Alien: Isolation” the main location consists of numerous corridors and ominous tunnels. The station is preparing to be decommissioned and is in extremely poor condition, with constant flickering lights, poor functioning of automated doors, many tangled wires and steam flowing from damaged pipes. Sometimes cramped corridors turn into larger zones, but events unfold mainly in space-limiting locations.

The gameplay involves more sophisticated methods of confronting the alien monster. Players can shoot, but this will only anger the enemy, and another stream of fire from the flamethrower will only scare them away for a couple of moments. The essence of survival is that gamers need to be more cunning than their opponent and try to destroy the monster. Thus, the gameplay becomes an exciting and protracted game of hide and seek with the Alien. The gameplay combines stealth and survival, where the gamer will have to outwit dynamic artificial intelligence.

Here you can understand when the alien will be nearby, but it is impossible to predict where exactly he will attack from. He can be exposed by the sound, which turns out to be a signal to hide or run. In addition to the xenomorph, there are other difficulties in Sevastopol. For example, damaged androids scurry around the base, destroying people they come across. They can be killed, but destroying them requires a lot of resources. They are slower than the aliens, but are also quite deadly.
