Analog Addiction writes, "So. SEGA could not help itself. After the critical mediocrity of 2013s Aliens: Colonial Marines, SEGA felt it necessary to publish another game set in the Alien universe. According to VGChartz, SEGAs disappointing shooter at the time of writing has managed to sell 1.11 million units across all three platforms (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC). Whether this total is seen as a success or not is up to the companys Board. Nevertheless, why would SEGA want to pump out another game set in the Alien franchise in such a short period of time since the last one, which disappointed many anticipating consumers. It is quite simple really: This is not the same team who made Aliens: Colonial Marines. The gameplay is reminiscent of a different genre and we have already seen the main concept of Alien: Isolation work successfully."

Chris West of SpawnFirst writes: "I believe it might be very safe to say that the expectations for Alien: Isolation aren't very high thanks to the disaster that was Aliens: Colonial Marines. With consistently low scores and multiple "Worst Of 2013" nominations, including #3 worst game of 2013 on SpawnFirst, Colonial Marines remains as the poster child for terrible movie tie-in games and possibly the worst game the franchise. So Aliens: Isolation doesn't have to do too much to be better than Colonial Marines, but there are many things it must do right to be both good, and win back any betrayed fans and gamers."

Tyler from All Age Gaming writes "Our fair readers, another year in gaming has come and gone. 2013 was a brilliant year, full of brilliant, well-made games for players of every type. However, for every single passionately made, emotionally charged and intellectually involved experience released this year, there were also idiotically made pieces of dross to match. This was the year that gave us the likes of The Last of Us and Legend of Zelda: Link Between Worlds, only to be balanced by Aliens: Colonial Marines and Ride to Hell: Retribution."
