We finally arrive at the space station and some explosive action happens during the space walk over.
It's a fun reminder how unimaginative 1970s sci-fi was.
Exposed pipes, monochrome monitors running what looks like DOS, venting steam. The Torrens – the ship that's transporting us to the space station where the flight recorder is – is totally retro. Is she going to start talking about trade federations and midichlorians next? Where's the alien, already? Some British lawyer goes on about how she's being sent to check out the Nostromo because it cost the company a lot of money, blah blah. What does pushing an unmarked button on the wall in Amanda's quarters do? Oops – it turns out it's the shower. I push "X" and mission accomplished! This game is easy. What if everyone in the game is in fact a Bishop android?įirst objective: get dressed. It's hard not to notice how rubbery the animation of their faces looks. The flight recorder of the ship she was on has been found and the guy says it'll help Amanda get "closure." We meet Amanda Ripley as she's welding aboard some non-descript space ship.Ī guy from the company – that evil corporation that permeates the Alien franchise – wants her to go find her mother. What happens in the first hour: Grainy flickers of the screen invoke the feel of 1970s sci-fi. Why we should care: This game abandons the fast-paced action of recent (terrible) Alien games and goes back to its roots with horror. What it's about: Amanda Ripley, daughter of Ellen (Sigourney Weaver in the Alien movies), is on a quest to find her mother.
