Forums - Gaming Discussion - Alien: Isolation Review IGN- 5.9 / 10

Who goes off one review to determine if a game is good enough or not anyway.  Read a couple who give it a high score, then read one or two that give it a low one. Get a nice balance that way.

Why are only positive opinions valid?


I believe he is saying its cherry picking




       


15-20 hours? that's too long for a survival horror set in a small ship, a 3-5 hour at most game should have been Sega's target and just charge $30-$40 for it and it would get no negative reviews as the biggest problem mentioned by all the negative ones so far is it's repetitive after the 5 hour mark.

Sega took on this instead of Beyonetta 2 lol

How the fuck is unpredictable AI classed as a bad thing, in an Alien-based horror game?

Doesn't sound too great from that review.

How about the 9s and the 10s? Or do you just go by IGN?

Sounds alright. The only thing I find worrying is the complaint that it's overlong. A game outstaying its welcome is one of the worst things it can do. It's always better to leave the player wanting more than to have the game become a monotonous plod.

The complaint about unpredictable AI isn't really explained very well. I don't know how to read that other than, "I died a lot."



Gamespot gave a 6 too.

So when both those 2 sites have similar scores I tend to question the reviews less.

In all honesty was anyone really expecting the game to get more than a 75 meta?
