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
 
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.
 
Of interest to PC gamers :

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.
