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
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.
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
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.

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.
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.
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
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
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).

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.
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.

That brings the term close quarter to a new level. So if you like to stay in hiding while shitting your pants and in-game progress is not that important to you ... Isolation is your game !
This is the only game i have played that actually scared the living shjt out of me. I have never played a game that caused such fear and tension since. Credit to the development team for this game.
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 🤣
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.
So my kid set the game up for me while I was out of the room and I was the first person in the house to play through this. Everyone was intrigued watching. This game frustrated the everliving s*** out of me. I would get stuck at some parts for weeks. I was so confused as to how this game was so ridiculously hard. Then we beat the game, and I got an achievement for fighting through it on nightmare... I looked at my kid, and I was like oh what happened to putting it on normal buddy, to his reply, "I wanted to see how mad you would get". Fair enough, and it was quite mad. There were times I almost broke the TV cuz I couldn't get out of a stupid room because of him.
Nah, I couldn’t play this type of game without constantly pausing. I remember watching a gameplay of this and you could literally hear/see the Alien sprinting towards your location the moment the player made a loud noise by mistake. Shits scary.
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.
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
Don't worry guys... The pause at the end is the OP taking the time clean the shit off of him they he blasted when he found out it was in the same room.
I beat the game on hard too. The only relatively safe place to hide is under desks that have no direct sightline. I've had the Alien pace around a table for minutes when I accidently made too much sound, but it still won't find me because it won't check under tables. Lockers on the other hand are a death trap, and should never be used.
For some reason this reminds me of a dream I had as a kid where there were so many xenomorphs in my neighborhood that the roofs and walls of the houses were just shimmering black. I had to double take even in Dreamland to confirm what I was seeing lmfao.
I remember playing this in hard mode. There's a point in the game we're you died like more than a hundred times and don't get scared anymore but get really annoyed instead
I had a close call once thanks to a bug I survived ! I was crawling near an "underground vent" when I heard the Alien hiss then scream and charge at me. I quickly went in even if it was technically too late and then created a chaos I was too far away from the opening so it couldn't do the cut scene and grab me but I was too close to allow the "going in the vent" animation. It decided to join me in the vent by "escaping" through the roof and spawning with me underground and since the door wasnt closed yet I got out ! I could now detect it trying to find me but I was already out haha. Also another cool bug allowed me to see an albinos (texture was completly off so I turned on my flashlight and I have a clip of a white alien killing me noice)
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.

That was very close ..... Huh, i love this game so much!
This is the only game i have played that actually scared the living shjt out of me. I have never played a game that caused such fear and tension since. Credit to the development team for this game.
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
You left a brown stain under the table.
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.
So my kid set the game up for me while I was out of the room and I was the first person in the house to play through this. Everyone was intrigued watching. This game frustrated the everliving s*** out of me. I would get stuck at some parts for weeks. I was so confused as to how this game was so ridiculously hard. Then we beat the game, and I got an achievement for fighting through it on nightmare... I looked at my kid, and I was like oh what happened to putting it on normal buddy, to his reply, "I wanted to see how mad you would get". Fair enough, and it was quite mad. There were times I almost broke the TV cuz I couldn't get out of a stupid room because of him.
The way this game fucks with your anxiety is worser than getting caught by the xenomorph. Lol
Nah, I couldn’t play this type of game without constantly pausing. I remember watching a gameplay of this and you could literally hear/see the Alien sprinting towards your location the moment the player made a loud noise by mistake. Shits scary.
Good thing you wore your brown pants.
Heheh Deadpool reference.
Alien is kinda sus, I saw it venting
this dude knows how AI works at professional level
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.
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
This game as scary as the movie. I hold my breath for a second.
I'm so bad at sneaking in video games. I just panic and start running away 😂
2:44 Moment to Cry.
They had to pause that shit after lol. Prolly went to go get a drink from all that stress
Don't worry guys... The pause at the end is the OP taking the time clean the shit off of him they he blasted when he found out it was in the same room.
1:00 that glitch tho hahaha
how does he not see him, the dude is literally down there with no cover and the aliens eyes are panning around allot
Lol nice walks like a member of the Scooby-Doo gang in a haunted mansion....
When the thumbnail straight up looks like it’s trying to “Tip-Toe” around you cause it’s scared too 😹
This game is the epitome of a 'close call'
I beat the game on hard too. The only relatively safe place to hide is under desks that have no direct sightline. I've had the Alien pace around a table for minutes when I accidently made too much sound, but it still won't find me because it won't check under tables. Lockers on the other hand are a death trap, and should never be used.
I've known him to just walk past an automatic door for it to open, with me stood on the other side in full view, and he just ignores me.
Ох, это было очень близко..
2:07
Alien: Wait a minute I came in here for something
honestly kinda seems like proper lighting would be the aliens worst enemy.
Close my ass, you were virtually safe!
This game looks terrifying, I’ve never wanted to be chased by a xenomorph and I can see why now.
Any chasing by the Alien is short lived as you will die very quick.
God you watch one hour long play through of Alien and TH-cam thinks you’re the number 1 Alien fan
Jesus Christ I got so tense and I'm watching a TH-cam video
Loved this game. You don't beat the game, you get through it.
One of the most underrated games in history
Holy hills, I swallowed for a second. Risk in the las moment. But has saved.
what a brave man, i wont move until he completely gone.
That mission of the game he NEVER leaves, he will stay around that area constantly
Love Alien, but I physically can't bring myself to play anymore than 10 minutes of this game, it freaks me out just too much, I can't do horror games
When they paused the game....
I felt that
For some reason this reminds me of a dream I had as a kid where there were so many xenomorphs in my neighborhood that the roofs and walls of the houses were just shimmering black. I had to double take even in Dreamland to confirm what I was seeing lmfao.
I remember playing this in hard mode. There's a point in the game we're you died like more than a hundred times and don't get scared anymore but get really annoyed instead
Looks scarier than the 1979 Alien movie!
I had a close call once thanks to a bug I survived !
I was crawling near an "underground vent" when I heard the Alien hiss then scream and charge at me. I quickly went in even if it was technically too late and then created a chaos I was too far away from the opening so it couldn't do the cut scene and grab me but I was too close to allow the "going in the vent" animation. It decided to join me in the vent by "escaping" through the roof and spawning with me underground and since the door wasnt closed yet I got out !
I could now detect it trying to find me but I was already out haha.
Also another cool bug allowed me to see an albinos (texture was completly off so I turned on my flashlight and I have a clip of a white alien killing me noice)
I just did this part last night. Boyy was it hard! He kept spawning right at the entrance lol
I just realised I’ve been holding my breath for 2 minutes now😳
Pauses to eat a slice of Nope-a-roni pizza.
Playing it for the first time last night and decided to go straight to hard mode. Turns out I suck at stealth
