What players say
93% of 66,928 reviews are positive · 90% of 335 in the last 30 days
Players most often praise the station’s visual design and sound, along with the Alien’s unpredictable hunting behavior. The main complaints are that the campaign runs too long, objectives and environments grow repetitive, and the Alien can feel random or linger near hiding spots.
