10 Years Later, I Think I Finally Understand Alien- Isolation Hate–But It's Still A Masterpiece

Alien: Isolation celebrated its 10-year anniversary on October 6, 2024. Below, we reexamine how the despite its great ideas, the game may not have communicated its expectations clearly enough. This piece was written before the announcement of a sequel, with the original director returning.

It’s been a decade and I’m still mad about Alien: Isolation.

I’m mad that one of the best horror games that exists, if not one of the finest video games ever, has been met with relative obscurity rather than accolades over the last decade. It’s a travesty that we never saw an Isolation sequel (mobile game notwithstanding) to tease out more of its story and characters, create more worlds using its phenomenal take on the aesthetic of the 1979 film, and further develop the often-groundbreaking and always-terrifying elements of its design. Alien: Isolation deserved better.

I tend to replay Isolation every year or two, and I revisited it again this year on Hard mode. At this point, I’m pretty good at Isolation, retaining just enough from past runs to deftly handle a gang of murderous androids or complete a power system restart puzzle quickly and efficiently, before enemies have a chance to react.

But then there’s the alien.
