Xenomorph ultimate nightmare become reality

tottaly unpredictable, which is awesome

Panel is tomorrow night.

I usually play games to relax, but I had AI sitting in my library and I love the Alien franchise so I decided to give it a go.

Man what a ride! I have never been so stressed playing a game in my life. While it was far from relaxing, it was incredibly satisfying to make progress. Every save point reached and level passed felt like a huge achievement.

A few times I almost threw in the towel (Hospital Section) but I persevered and I’m so glad I did!

I now get the appeal of survival horror and will definitely play the second game when it comes out.

For now though, I need to recover so it’s time to destress and play Spyro the Dragon.

The flamethrower.

After she awakens in the makeshift hive, how does she still have it in her possession? That's a big ass piece of equipment. I would go as far as to ask, how come she still has all her belongings intact after being abducted by the Xeno and being taken God knows where? Shouldn't she have lost them along the way?

That would make sense realistically AND narratively. It would've been better if she had come to and realised all of her stuff is gone. Except 1 medkit,.of course (if you had one to begin with at that point). Then she could've *found* a gun from a nearby body. The rest of the mission then could've unfolded the way it does.

This way several issues could've been avoided:

1. The logical one of course. You really can't be abducted by the xeno, knocked out, taken to an undisclosed location, bound to a wall and then wake up to find all your stuff with you. That just doesn't make sense. Getting abducted by Steve is a horrifying and traumatic experience. *If* you manage to make it out alive, losing your stuff should act as a reminder of what exactly you survived.

2. Since after that point, you're only fighting off a few facehuggers, having that much firepower dilutes the horror. A gun and a medkit, along with some building material for medkits along the way, should've sufficed to keep the tension and the pressure on.

This way all the old reliables- the distractions, the weaponry, even the motion tracker- are GONE. A gun and a medkit. Two basic things you started your journey into this nightmare with. Just that this time the whole station is in a free fall as well.

THAT'S how you know you're in the endgame.

What do guys think?
