AV Club: I like the way space looks in Alien: Isolationthe inky blackness of the void outside, the amber starlight spilling in through a window. Its resplendent. But you dont get to see much space in Alien: Isolation. Instead you get to see the monochromatic hallways of the Sevastopol space station, variously scorched and graffitied. You get to see a lot of dreary offices, abandoned and indistinguishable, as well as any number of sleek metal access tunnels, disused elevator shafts, and dimly lit vents. But what you get to see most of all in Alien: Isolation is lockers. The interiors of lockers, more specificallyperson-sized coffins of the same dull gray steel, each fitted with a narrow window of horizontal slats.

GamingLives takes a look at Alien Isolation: "You see, this game, unlike all the others, isnt inspired by Aliens. This one is pure Alien. That means you wont be in room with strobing emergency lights, firing off pulse rifles to the sound of baby elephants being butchered. Instead, this is all future-70s tech, beige padding, claustrophobic air vents and synthetics that are still a little bit twitchy. You wont be in the middle of the room spraying bullets like Hudson during his last stand. Nope, youll be crouching in the shadows armed with nothing more effective than a flask full of gummy bears as an alien stalks you. But that wont be right away. Alien Isolations pacing is a little bit like the movie that inspired it. For the first hour not much happens.

Weve all played games that are frustratingly easy, as if the game designer decided that their audience was not smart enough to figure out the game mechanics on their own. Legend of Grimrock 2 by Almost Human Games, on the other hand, is a game that honours the players intelligence through its mind-bending riddles and puzzles and uncompromisingly challenging combat. Like the easy game that holds your hand, Legend of Grimrock 2 is at times frustrating, but in the best of ways. Youll get stumped by a puzzle and throw down your mouse in defeat, only to come back ten minutes later having deciphered the solution. Youll get beaten by a boss three times in a row, then go off and find a buried treasure with epic loot to help you kick its butt. Its a system that makes you feel truly smart and powerful for each puzzle solved and enemy trumped.
