First of all, do NOT pay any attention to the 92% positive reviews. All of the positive reviews must be inflated by Alien fanboys. Trust me. This is NOT a good game. Where the ♥♥♥♥ do I even begin?

In the eight hours I played this before I rage quit, the majority of the time spent, I was either annoyed or frustrated. SO much time is spent hiding from enemies, specifically the alien, just waiting for them to get the ♥♥♥♥ on so you can progress. The stealth mechanics are absolute trash (in this game's defense, almost every stealth game's mechanics are trash, so this was just par for the course). Even when you're sprinting, you feel like you're crawling on the floor on all fours. There is no mini map, so I was constantly having to pull up the full map, and every time I did, there's a visual effect that happens that is super annoying, especially when you see it every couple of minutes. The very first mission was bugged, and I had to look up what to do online to make sure I wasn't completely stupid, only to find out that it's bugged. There are times where I would be hiding, and the alien would look me dead in the face and not notice me. Other times, there is no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ way the alien would see me but would bolt directly to me or my hiding spot and kill me. It got to the point where I didn't even want to explore and enjoy the world because I was constantly just trying to get to the next save point because THAT whole system is a mess. Yeah, I get it. The game came out in 2014, but I'm sorry, we've had autosave and save anywhere features for a long time before 2014. And when you die, having to redo everything you did the last ten minutes over and over, gets really freaking old.

I finally rage quit when I was just trucking along, following the waypoint on my motion tracker that the devs expect you to have up pretty much the entire game after you get it (which is insanely stupid). I rounded a corner, saw one of those map update things, interacted with it, turned to my right, saw a big group of people, thought to myself for a split second, 'Who the hell are these people?', and then proceeded to get one shot by one of them. I have no clue who they are or why they were even there. I actually thought that I was supposed to get shot until the load checkpoint screen came up.

I've been gaming for about 34 years, and I can safely say that Alien: Isolation is one of the most overrated games I have ever played.
