Alien: Isolation — A Masterpiece of Immersion

Happy Halloween 🎃 Timecodes: Intro: 0:00 The Danger: 3:47 The Humans: 6:50 The Androids: 9:31 The Alien: 11:26 Alien Intelligence: 17:30 Lay of the Land: 25:06 Immersion Through Engineering: 33:43 The Narrative: 37:07 Conclusions: 46:57 Things I couldn't fit into the script: 48:08 Alien: Isolation is a survival horror game created by Creative Assembly. It is a spin off of the main Alien Franchise centering around Ellen Ripley's daughter Amanda Ripley. Alien: Isolation's atmosphere and immersion is truly something that I have never experienced before. This game truly immerses you into the experience of being a space engineer. I've never played a game that recreates a world I've already experienced in uninteractive medium in an interactive one. That's pretty much the reason I chose to write about this game. I am open to discussion in the comments!
