When it comes to the alien franchise the games always go with the James Cameron offering since it offers more of something that could be turned into a game. Most have failed in that respect except for a few, no one never attempted to go with a more horror approach until now. The game is what I expected and more with a few drawbacks but with more pros than cons. This isn't an action based title as it's more effective to hide from the creature rather than go head on, simply because the alien is almost invincible and is not easily swayed away. The alien AI in this game is also quite impressive as it can be a bit unpredictable while also utilising new tricks to trip you up. The Alien isn't your only enemy though as there are the slightly creepy working Joe androids who can turn against you if you do something they don't like, and even human survivors who have grown to distrust any strangers that trespass their areas! The alien can and will attack the survivors a la Farcry 3 (if you can manage to get its attention to that area while the androids go largely unharmed from the creature). All in all, if you like survival horror games where it's more about how to get past the problem rather than mowing down everything that moves, or are an avid Alien fan, then this game might be right up your alley.
