There's a 25% off code on the front page. Should make it £24.

But seriously, it is going to be the Resurrection one.

10 Minutes.

Thanks ! Hoping for the best.
Alien has such an incredible potential in the gaming space, it would be a crying shame for the game to be disappointing.

I expect 8/10 to be the average.

It just doesn't have to be the clusterfuck Colonial Marines was and I'm in, I don't even need a 9/10.

Oof

Dayum. Pre-order cancelled!

... actually I was going to cancel anyway due to SO Mordor and The Evil Within. Nothing to do with review scores.

I'll still pick this up in a few months.

 

[Totobeni]

seems like AvP2 will stay the best alien game.

 

[888]

Wow wide gap in reviews. Interesting.

 

[AniHawk]

y'all gotta stop posting aliens quotes for an alien-inspired game

alien isolation reviews | in space no one can hear you cream
alien isolation reviews | hello my baby hello my darling hello my ragtime gal
alien isolation reviews | i cant lie about your chances but... you have my sympathies

 

[EGM1966]

Wow wide gap in reviews. Interesting.

I'd be surprised if reviews aren't all over the place. The core mechanic is hardly standard and anything this different always tends to be polarising in opinions.

Some are gonna hate the save system and some love it, some are gonna hate Alien randomness and trial by death and some are gonna love it.

Luckily I know I'm gonna love it so I'm in whatever.

The game seems to run really well on mid-range PCs. Top end GPUs like the 290X and 980 crush this game even using maximum settings.
