Alien Isolation is the type of scary where you don’t want to take a single step forward out of fear of what might happen if you do. Alien Isolation is not that kind of scary… The lights being on or off, the visual of the monster, and the environment design isn’t really what makes it scary. Some games like Silent Hill and Fatal Frame are the type of scary where you’ll be looking over your shoulder, suddenly believing in ghosts, and preferring the lights on. There are different ways a game can be scary. But first, about the game: Alien Isolation (PS Systems) But then something stopped me, which is why I did not let myself play it tonight… I’ll talk more about that later. Four days ago, I started playing again from the beginning and found it to be no less great. So I picked it up used for a great price this time on PS4. I thought I would like to give it another shot. Now, it’s winter 2016, and I had been thinking about it… My very negative association had finally worn off, and I remembered what a technically great game it is. Thus, I returned the game and did not even consider playing it for another year. The fever-induced Alien nightmare was so unpleasant, that I couldn’t help but associate anything Alien with it. I couldn’t sleep, but was afraid of sleep at that point anyway. I couldn’t tell if I was asleep or awake, but felt trapped regardless… The next day, my sickness had become a full-blown fever, and I suffered the next two days, bed-ridden, watching Home Alone and Shrek 2 trying to keep the Alien image at bay. The image of the alien itself refused to leave my head, and I felt crushed by it. I was hallucinating, replaying moments in the game over and over. The chemicals in me were causing lack of cognition and seemed to turn these things into my personal menace.
#ALIEN ISOLATION PS3 REVIEWS MOVIE#
I laid in my bed trying to go to sleep, but I couldn’t get Alien out of my head and all the corridors and sounds associated with the movie and the game. With the Alien visage swirling in my head from multiple sources that night, that is when my sickness decided to ramp up into cold sweats and stomach aches, and my mind came under the influence of some terrible corruption. The game had gotten me in the mood to appreciate the original film, Alien, so I watched the movie after my play on the forth night. It was an especially physically exhausting sickness even before the fever, but if I took some symptom-reducing meds around noon, then my I would have enough physical and mental enthusiasm to play the game from a nearly normal state of mind, and that’s what I did. It also happened that this week I had a cold, which would turn into a drastic fever around the middle of that week. When I first played Alien Isolation on PS3, it was in winter of 2015 and I had rented it for the week. But it’s also partially my personal account of a rather negative and concerning experience with it. This post is partially a positive review for the 2014 game, Alien Isolation.
