You ever read a review and then when you play a game and they said something was good or bad and you just find yourself not feeling it like they did? Its not that you hate them or think that they should be relegated to a hell of reviewing only flappy bird clones and youtube fodder but at the end of the day that part of the review just wasnt relevant to your experience?
Well thats what im experiencing right now with alien isolation. I mean from everything I love the gameplay from start to finish. I noticed some reviewers complained about this middle section in teh game where your givin a shotgun and the game goes from stealth to a bit more actiony. Well im not gonna go into too much detail but I felt that was a bit off.
For one it was a nice break from all the intensity of dealing with the alien and not a boring middle part.There were story elements during these points that I was able to better absorb at my leisure and it felt like a reward for having survived against the alien so many times before. For three it wasnt just "hold down right trigger and be an awesome marine OMG!" It was like "I have to wait till the right moment or I wont be able to kill all of these enemies. Then they will be on me and Ill be backed into a corner"(Shooting too late cost you an extra shell which are precious whilst waiting too long they would be on you)
So yeah for me this point in the game was perfect. I havent finished the game yet but my progression on hard has went pretty smooth all things considered and I love it.
So what about you escapists? At what point have you found yourself just going "Nah Im not seeing it this aspect of the game is nothing like he said it would be?"
