Alien is my favorite movie and I tend to like this kind of game but so far I have at best felt indifferent and at worst become irritated with several aspects of the design, for example:
- Hideous aliasing that isn't fixable
- Immersion breaking on screen objectives, cut-scenes and fixed animations
- Bug that stops me from exiting the 'rewire' menu, forcing a reload
- A n unimpressive introduction that didn't grab me
- Full of cliche's like a horror movie/Alien theme park ride ticking every cliche box
- Graffiti EVERYWHERE, very distracting
- Completely bland characters
- A general lack of a feeling of urgency to the story
- Kind of........boring, just a bunch of (beautifully designed) corridors and a gameplay loop the likes of which I have experienced many times in games like Dead Space
I'm really pissed off because i was ready to love this game but it really isn't clicking! I realize i'm early on, having only just met the Alien but i'm lacking any compulsion to continue. Does anyone else feel the same? Should I keep playing?
