Description

HOW WILL YOU SURVIVE?

Experience fear in its purest form with Alien: Isolation, a survival horror game built upon relentless tension and life-or-death stakes. Set fifteen years after the original Alien™ film, players step into the shoes of Amanda Ripley, daughter of the iconic Ellen Ripley, as she embarks on a harrowing quest to uncover the mystery surrounding her mother's fate.

Taking on the role of Amanda, you must navigate a world rapidly spiraling into chaos, caught between a population gripped by panic and desperation, and a cunning, merciless Alien that refuses to be outsmarted.

With limited tools and no safety net, survival demands that you scavenge every resource available, think on your feet, and rely on your instincts — not merely to complete your mission, but to make it through each moment alive.

Face a threat that never stops hunting – A truly intelligent and reactive Alien tracks your every move, using its heightened senses to pursue you relentlessly, ensuring that fear is never far away.

Adapt or perish – Breach security systems, gather critical supplies, and construct makeshift tools to handle whatever stands in your way. Choose your approach — slip past your enemies undetected, throw them off your trail, or meet them head on.

Unravel a world of secrets and broken trust – Lose yourself in the richly crafted environment of Sevastopol, an aging decommissioned trading station drifting at the edge of known space. Navigate complex relationships with a diverse cast of survivors inhabiting a world defined by paranoia and betrayal.

Before departing Earth, Ellen Ripley made a promise to her daughter Amanda — that she would be home in time to celebrate her 11th birthday. That promise was never kept. Amanda never saw her mother again.

Now, fifteen years on, Amanda — working as a Weyland-Yutani employee — receives word that the flight recorder from her mother's vessel, the Nostromo, has been located at the remote outpost of Sevastopol Station. The chance to finally find answers proves impossible to ignore. Yet when Amanda and her crew reach Sevastopol, it becomes immediately clear that something has gone terribly wrong. A shadowy, unknown threat lurks within the station's depths, leaving destruction in its wake.

To discover the truth about what happened to her mother, Amanda must come face to face with the very same terrifying force that tore them apart.

Developed using the CATHODE™ engine.

Really fantastic game. Beautiful visual and sound design. Story and gameplay are lacking a bit but it's made up for by the execution of the environment and the alien. Absolutely would recommend even if you're not really

3x gekauft, 3x durchgespielt. Auf PS4, Xbox Series X und jetzt auf Steam. Alien: Isolation ist noch immer das beste Alien-Game weit und breit und wird es vermutlich für immer und ewig auch bleiben.

This is THE best game I know of that has Xenomorphs. It's great to speedrun aswell, although my lower spec laptop makes it harder for me to get better times. If you love Xenos and want to truly look at their beauty,

Bought this game on Xbox One back in 2014, PS4 after and on Switch. Now playing through it again on PC with Max settings multiple times already I gotta say this is 100% the perfect horror game that'll make you genuinely
