Amanda Ripley goes to the space station Sevastopol looking for answers about her mother and finds a single Xenomorph hunting the crew. The alien can't be killed and learns from how you hide. It's the most faithful Alien game ever made.

One alien, one station, and fifteen hours of pure panic.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- The alien AI is genuinely scary
- Perfect 1979 retro-future look
- Tense from start to finish
Not so much
- Runs a few hours too long
- Save stations can punish you hard
Play it if fans of the first Alien film and stealth horror.
Skip it if players who hate trial-and-error deaths.

Alien: Isolation doesn't have cheat codes. The tips and secrets below are the next best thing.
Tips
Play it better
- Walk, don't run; running makes noise the alien hears from far away.
- The motion tracker beeps too, so lower it when the alien is close.
- In lockers, lean back and hold your breath when the alien sniffs at the door, but don't hold it too long.
- Noisemakers and flares pull the alien away from where you need to go.
- The flamethrower scares the alien off, but each burst makes it stay away less long.
- Save stations take a few seconds to save; check the tracker before you start.
- Humans and androids can be lured into the alien's path to clear them out.
