Anyone who doesn't like Alien Isolation when dogshit like RE7 exists, is a genuine faggot. Alien Isolation is the one game I wish was 30 hours instead of 16, and I think the devs were so good at setting up scenarios that I think they could have done it. Anyone who thinks it's too long genuinely has no taste but will defend RE7's ugly mosquito house, boring ass SAW section or the dogshit square shaped boat or it's worthless final boss.

RE7 has a great boss with Marguerite, from a style and idea standpoint (ripping off one of my favorite movies [REC]), but other than that, RE7 is absolutely mogged by Isolation. RE7 is a 6-8 hour game and I wanted to end sooner because of how dogshit it was becoming because it was clear Capcom had 0 fucking ideas other than poorly ripping off Outlast (and making what is essentially Outlast for pussies)

It's a pretty good six-eight hour Alien game that by a terrible twist of fate grew several times that length. It just keeps going when it shouldn't.

Alien Isolation fucking sucks

THe pacing is garbage, the ending makes me groan in pain and the flamethrower ruins everything.

Who the fuck thought giving the player a tool to mitigate 100% of threats 40% into the game would result in a fun experience? It completely breaks immersion too because it works 100% of the time and then there's some treshold you have to pass before it works again on the Ayy lmao, so in a game where you're supposed to be shitting your pants and crawling around, you can literally just spray the one threat and move along to the objective. I played on the highest difficulty btw, so don't talk shit about how "the alien gets resistant to it" - no it fucking doesnt

TLDR this games fucking boring because nothing happens in the plot and the gameplay is babymode from start to finish. I admit the first couple of hours were some of the best horror I've ever played but the game never gets more interesting than the first encounter. I do not understand why people champion this garbage game

it's a good game but normies and redditors are mad because the alien ai is too good and finds you most of the time

Nah, Darkwood is much better at atmosphere and engaging gameplay where you're not crawling around for hours.
It's just a much better game.

its better than reddit evil but that isnt saying much. alien isolation is pretty boring too.

survival horror is the most overrated shit genre in gaming
