What would scare the Alien? (April Fools' Day Special)
10DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything (clips & music) used in the video.
Normally I wouldn't give a damn about April Fools' Day because of my cynic attitude, but considering how well it goes with the idea I'm about to represent to you in this video, I'll make a happy exception.
Creative Assembly's Alien: Isolation became one of my all-time favourite games and not due to any light reason: the game captures a rollercoaster-like terror terrifyingly well, overflows with low-fi sci-fi (retro future) and most of all, it is faithful to the original movie that still can give you some scares no matter how many times you watch it.
But still, it's not a perfect game that hasn't got a single flaw in it. Recycling of the environments, monotonic mission pattern and of course, the ”unforgiving” difficulty. With the last one of these flaws, however, I can deal with, since I actually like it that the game gives you a real challenge rather than no challenge at all.
I can understand however, why is it that some people complain that the game is too hard. No one has an infinite amount of patience and that goes for me too. Even though I have huge respect for late H.R. Giger's terrifying creation, at some points of the game I got furious. Both at myself and at the game, but in the end it taught me to think and react into situations better. Just like a survivor should.
Still, just a couple of days after completing the game I couldn't bury a thought that goes like this: ”What scares that son of a bitch? What turns a fearless monster into a scared little child?” and that's the idea of this video: to show you that there REALLY is something that our ”friend” is afraid of. But what is it? Find out by watching!
