If you haven't heard already, alien isolation is getting a sequel... Now hold on fanboys, this isn't your grandma's sequel, no, no, no, no.
This sequel... is a MOBILE EXCLUSIVE!
Where do i begin... First off, has anyone ever sat down for prolonged periods with a phone in their hands? Yeah, you get uncomfortable. It's a hassle to have to move every few seconds because you need to get comfortable to play your games while ALSO still being able to look at your phone screen, which is only comfortable if you put it on your lap. But then that means that you have to look down, which puts stress on your neck overtime, then your neck gets stiff and do i NEED to go on from there?
Secondly, the studio from the first game isn't making the second game. The game was originally made by Creative Assembly but now it's being made by D3 go, who is known for taking established IP's, making mobile games out of them, and then squeezing every penny out of them before moving on to the next thing. So pretty much like EA but with IP's instead of studios.
Thirdly, I don't quite understand what the game is trying too be. It's clear it's supposed to be a horror, strategy game, but you have a crew, and you're trying too escape. Which probably means that you have too command a crew while ALSO yourself trying to dodge the alien. That mechanic sounds frustrating too begin with, sense that means that most of the time, you have to be staring at the monitor in your hands too check on your teammates, while also trying too tell where the alien is, and at the same time, ALSO trying to get to the exit yourself. You also have too make decisions based on how much power you have left and who or if you should sacrifice someone for the sake that you come out alive, which begs the question:
Why should i care? What's too stop me from just sacrificing someone every round for the sake of it just so i can make it too the end? The website says there is consequences, but doesn't explain what those consequences ARE. Does everyone just get sad?
I honestly want too hear what everyone else has too say on this, because frankly, i don't think this is a good way too make a sequel, and OFFICIAL sequel i might add, to the alien franchise.
