Trivia
Instead of following a predetermined path, the artificial intelligence of the Alien has been programmed to actively hunt the player by sight, sound, and smell. The Alien A.I was programmed with a complex set of behavioral designs that progressively unlock as it encounters the player to create the illusion that the Alien is learning from its encounters with the player and adjusting its hunting strategy appropriately. This includes the ability for the Alien to investigate "secondary sources" of disturbances. For instance, if it notices a locker or air lock is open, the Alien will search for who opened it.

Goofs
Despite the fact the Anesidora crew apparently explore the exact same area of the cargo hold as Kane, there is no sign of the open Egg that should remain from when he was attacked.

Quotes
[first lines]
Ellen Ripley: Final report of the commercial starship Nostromo. Third officer reporting. The other members of the crew - Kane, Lambert, Parker, Brett, Ash and Captain Dallas are dead. Cargo and ship destroyed. I should reach the frontier in about six weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up. This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off.

This is the Alien game we've been waiting for!

After many games that ranged from horrible to decent, Alien fans have finally gotten the game they deserve. Alien Isolation is an excellent survival horror game that nails the atmosphere, mood, and paranoia from being on a derelict ship like the first alien.

The gameplay is great. Moving around feels natural and using items and weapons is nice and efficient. You get a wide variety of tools and weapons to help you survive, and they all can be useful rather than some being completely useless, and you can use great strategies with these items. The graphics and sounds are great too.

The survival element is the strongest. The game nails the mood and atmosphere and really makes you feel like your on that ship, especially when the Alien is around. The Alien has an amazing AI and is completely unpredictable. So you always have to be on your toes when it's around. There are also androids (which are pretty creepy) and paranoid survivors you have to deal with and while you have weapons to defend yourself, gunfire attracts the alien, so you have to be careful.

The only negative part about the game is that the later parts have many false endings and involve a lot of backtracking, which can get tiring for some. The game could have easily been 2 hours shorter, but overall, Alien Isolation is a great game and something Alien fans will love. highly recommend it.
