Sega posts cryptic Alien: Isolation 2 teaser: 'A feeling of being safer than one really is'

Today, a teaser trailer called "False Sense Of Security" was posted by the Alien: Isolation YouTube account. An industrial door unlocks and opens into a gloomy, rainy cityscape, and the scene cuts to one of Isolation's emergency phone save points. It's hard to believe it's been 12 years since the first game scared the bejeezus out of most everyone who played it, but here we are with a sequel appro...

Alien Isolation is way too long because its Xenomorph got way too smart: 'At the time it didn't seem that long'

lien Isolation is my favourite horror game, but it's too long and I think that opinion is near unanimous. When it feels like it's drawing to an end it just keeps going, and its protracted runtime is exacerbated by the fact that it's an unbearably tense experience. I adore this game, I swear I do, but boy could it have used a trim... Read more.

Games of 2014 - Alien Isolation

The pitch read like an inevitable disaster: development studio known for only making RTS games to create a first-person horror with only one enemy, based on the film Alien. Not only that, but it was to release in the year following publisher Sega's last Aliens effort, the abysmal Colonial Marines. Things weren't looking good for Alien: Isolation. Creative Assembly absolutely pulled through, though...

To 'appease the people who thought the game was too long,' an Alien: Isolation modder trimmed the campaign length down to a svelte 46 seconds

Here at PC Gamer, we're willing to admit our admiration for those who can maintain a personal grudge for a decade or more. It's a rare dedication to the art of being a hater; keeping your contempt at a steady simmer for that long takes a lot of discipline. I'm not talking about the kind of curmudgeon who deals in cheap dunks. I'm talking about those who write negative Steam reviews after collectin...

Why Alien Isolation is one of the greatest PC games, and you should play it now

It's been ten years, but Alien Isolation 2 is actually in development. If you've played the original, this is the announcement you've both been waiting for and never thought would arrive - it's not quite up there, but after a decade, Alien Isolation 2 was at risk of gaining the same mythical status as Half-Life 3. If you haven't played the first Alien Isolation, however, today, right now, is the p...

To our fans around the world: It’s hard to believe that it has been 10 years since we embarked on our journey with the release of ALIEN: ISOLATION.

Alien: Isolation is my favourite horror game because it's taken me an entire decade to finish it

In this live service era, it's not that strange to spend years playing a single game, but alongside my various online timesinks there has been one anomaly: a staunchly singleplayer, offline horror game. Alien: Isolation just turned 10, and for this entire time I've been trying very hard to muster up the courage to finish it. After a decade of sweating and yelling I finally did it, only a...

Ten years on, Alien Isolation's biggest problem is its runtime

The appeal of tight, single-player games cannot be overstated; the type that stands the test of time, that you can revisit again and again, and that leaves an indelible impression after just a handful of hours of play. Early Resident Evil and Silent Hill, Max Payne, Portal - you know the ones. In fact, outside of megahits like Elden Ring, there seems to be a bit of open-world malaise setting in, o...
