Alien: Isolation. Review and walkthrough

Overview of the game Alien Isolation from the company developer Creative Assembly includes a brief description of the main advantages and disadvantages of the game. The project in this genre and under this universe has become a real sensation. Firstly, due to the fact that the game universe "Alien" has long been at death and urgently required reanimation. Secondly, the genre of horror-action games is currently oversaturated, but worthy of AAA-projects, except, perhaps, Outlast, did not go very long. After the release of the game immediately received praise from gamers and high marks on all popular gaming portals. What is so bribed players and critics Alien Isolation? The review will help to understand this. Let's start with the description of the game.

The plot of the game

Isolation events begin 15 years after the original first part. The daughter of the main character Amanda is sent with her rescue team to an abandoned space station. According to known data, it was there that her mother disappeared under unknown circumstances. Amanda had to find out the reason and, if possible, save the survivors.

But according to the laws of the genre everything goes not as we would like. Once in the space station, Amanda learns that the whole ship was captured by a terrible monster, and the survivors went insane and now pose a threat to the main character and her companions. When the research team realized this, it was already too late - the Stranger learned about their presence in his possessions and began to hunt. Amanda's life throughout the game is in constant danger. There is not one place on the ship that the Stranger could not reach.

Alien isolation: an overview of the pros and cons

We continue to get acquainted with the game. Review of Alien Isolation: Isolation can not do without praise for the wonderful atmosphere of the game. The developers carefully studied the original part of the film and recreated the environment of the ship in the game. Retro futurism from the film here is observed in everything: doors, monitors, corridors and so on.

Also, the creators on the hard five worked on the graphics Alien Isolation. The review can be devoted entirely to the only words of praise for the color scheme, the realization of steam and smoke, views from the portholes. Even despite the outdated game engine, Creative Assembly managed to squeeze out of it all the juice, so the game can wipe the nose of most nest-gene projects. Especially good is the console version of Alien Isolation PS4. Overview of its advantages can take more than one page.

The stranger finally became that horrible, fear-inspiring monster from the film. In previous games of the series it was an expendable material, which was exterminated by soldiers with the help of automatic weapons. Here the Alien is the only enemy, but what. The developers have tried to make the most perfect artificial intelligence. The monster reacts to the movements and actions of Amanda. Sometimes he can even outwit the player and take him by surprise. Kill him is impossible, or extremely difficult. At least, this is beyond the power of an unprepared girl scientist who has not previously faced such a danger. This moment glows the atmosphere to the limit.

Overview of the game Alien Isolation is more like a continuous eulogy. But how to do it differently? The game is almost devoid of shortcomings. Developers are sick of the bad name of the series, and they made a truly worthy horror. The game frightens not fashionable today skrimerami, and a tense atmosphere. When the Alien passes near you or runs through the ventilation shafts, your throat approaches and begin to sweat your hands. Is such a result of the work of the creators not worthy of applause?

On the wave of popularity the game received an expanded edition - Alien Isolation Digital Deluxe Edition. The review should not be emphasized on it. The addition offers 5 rather mediocre missions, which were issued alternately until March 2015. The console version also received the Alien isolation Nostromo Edition, whose review is worthy of a separate article. The smart mission of the "Death Squad" will add even more tension to the gameplay. On this, praise is over - all the advantages of Alien Isolation are described. The review proceeds to a brief description of the passage of this game. Let's move on to action.

Overview of the game Alien Isolation: the passage

In the process of passing you will have to overcome 18 full-fledged tasks. The game begins at the station Sevastopol. The first minutes of the game introduce the basic elements of management. Amanda begins her adventure from an unpleasant moment - through several corridors under the heroine the floor breaks down and she falls down. Then she finds the signal rocket and continues the way. The next goal is to turn on the generator to receive power on the ship. Literally through a couple of corridors you will meet one survivor. Try to contact him, then move to the large terminal hall, where you activate the generator. This can be done thanks to the drawings found.

Introduction

After half an hour of gameplay the game introduces a new character - Axel. From him, Amanda learns about the Monster, which it is better not to encounter. A new acquaintance will have to hold you up to the transit line, but he will perish at a meeting with the enemy. Then Amanda will have to move on alone. Along the way, for the first time we meet the Alien and we escape from it miraculously. After that, Amanda is waiting for a meeting with friends who are offering her joint efforts to obtain medicines for one of the survivors. To do this, you need to get into the operating room through Dr. Kuhlman's office. The pass can be found on the body of a dead guard, and the access code to the operating room is in the doctor's computer. In the operating room, we grab a first aid kit with medications and refer it to Taylor.

Scientific Tower Station

Friends tell Amanda how to get the main weapon against the Alien - a flamethrower. We need to get to the control center. On the way there will be one enemy, which can be stunned by electric shock. In the control room, disable the alarm and take the weapon. On the way back we meet the Alien. Amanda's friends wish not to risk and get rid of him. We finish all the tasks and return to the ship.

The final part of the game

The main goal - to escape from the station Sevastopol. In subsequent missions, preparation begins. Get to Sigson Synthetics. We rise on the elevator and find Samuels. Along the way, you have to deal with a complex security system and go through the room with poison gas. To do this, you need to find a face mask in front of this room. Once in the reactor, Amanda should restart two cores - Alpha and Beta. After that, fighting off the enemies, turn off the central core and leave the reactor.

Returning to the hospital, we find out that Taylor is much better, and she is ready to help Amanda. Now your task is to find a way to communicate with the ship Torrence. We find it using a tracking system. It remains to find the spacesuits and dock the station with the ship. We leave in open space and watch the final movie. Amanda was rescued from an abandoned station.

The result

Brief passage and review of the game Alien Isolation introduces the main aspects of gameplay and a brief retelling of the story. The article does not specifically disclose all the details and game situations, so that the first pass was holistic and strongly impressed by the player.

Creative Assembly managed to revive the name of the franchise. They did it with dignity and in a new industry of horror games. The developers have set a good example for imitation of other studios that are engaged in this genre. We hope that everyone will continue to be equal to Alien Isolation and to approach their games as carefully and comprehensively, as did the guys from Creative Assembly.
