killamch89 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Didn't we have this discussion about a month back? I think both of us agreed that it probably wouldn't be very good if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DylanC Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) This is a comprehensive review roundup: https://www.avpgalaxy.net/2019/01/28/alien-blackout-reviews-round-up/ To be fair, a 72 on Metacritic is decent overall. I picked it up and I’m really liking it - not amazing - but decent for 5 bones. The voice actor is the same actress who plays Amanda Ripley in Isolation and it ties in nicely with that game narratively. The atmosphere/audio is authentic but the AI of the survivors is a bit basic/rudimentary. 7/10 from me, personally, from what I’ve played. Each their own, of course.

skyfire Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I am starting get the mixed reviews. I have seen some people giving the positive reviews. And then there are some who absolutely hated it. I think due to the isolations expectations people tend to have different expectations for this game. And it showed in what they given in the rating for the review in such case. I'd say it was well made but the everyone have their own opinion.

The gameplay gets boring after a while. the Alien isn't really scary more so an annoyance. it really feels like the game could've used a better narrative. I just think it's a mediocre game much like how I thought >Observer_ was. Difference being that >Observer_ actually tried to address criticisms while Alien: Blackout was a new entry and a possible savior of mobile gaming. So yeah, just another mobile game to add to the heap of trash, playing TWEWY instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
