![]() Although the location has to sell the claustrophobia, dread, and isolation of a derelict deep space station, the true star of the show is of course the Alien. The ship the Torrens and the space station Sevastopol are both incredibly faithful pastiches and remixings of the classic Alien film sets and locations - sometimes in spirit, sometimes literally a recreation. When I first played it, I loved the 70's sci-fi aesthetic, with ugly CRT monitors on a space station built by the lowest bidder. Now, I love survival horror, sci-fi, and Alien, so this game is like a godsend to me. This turned into quite an essay, I hope you'll bear with me.Īlien Isolation is a bit of an oddball - it's a high budget AAA movie tie-in that is actually quite good and a great adaptation of its source material.
