My brother got me Alien Isolation for an early Christmas present, and I finally got around to playing it tonight. I wanted to wait to do a stream of it, so I wouldn't get too absorbed into the game, but I was so weary because I get embarrassed by my voice easily. I was tired and wanted to finally play it. At first, I was really really impressed. Great voice acting, fantastic visuals (minus the horrid lip-sync). Then I was really really disappointed. It was a bunch of following people in set paths and wacking them with a stick to get by. It wasn't really scary, it was closer to a first person metal gear solid rip off. It started to get better with the synthetics, though still not too fun because they're still on a very obvious and clear pattern, and they didn't pull off crazy unfair moves like the humans from earlier. After I finally got passed all that and got into the bits with the alien though, the game got really really good again. I was practically crying at every step it took, and somehow still pulling off sneaking around it. Sometimes literally standing next to a door it walks through. I stopped the stream a ways into the medbay, got way more viewers than I expected too, because I was too tired and kept dying easily and not reacting at all to the scary bits. Pretty excited for what might be next.
