As a passionate gamer, I couldn't contain my excitement when I heard the news of a potential sequel to Alien Isolation. Despite being a Nintendo fan, I couldn't help but be amused by the announcement of the Alarmo alarm clock, which was released at a time when everyone was hoping for the Switch 2. It seemed like a clever move by Nintendo to troll their fans, and I couldn't help but admire it.
But the real highlight of the week for me was the revelation that Sega is working on Alien Isolation 2, with the original director on board. This came as a complete surprise, and I couldn't be happier. In fact, I would go as far as to say that this is the best news I've heard in the gaming world in a long time.
I absolutely loved the first game, but I also recognize that it had its flaws. It wasn't a huge commercial success, and it received mixed reviews from critics and players alike. So, how did it manage to secure a sequel? As a fan, I have some ideas on what the developers should focus on to make the sequel even better.
First and foremost, I believe that the story should be more original. Despite its lengthy 18-hour gameplay, the story didn't have a significant impact. The initial premise of Ripley's daughter searching for her mother was intriguing, but it was quickly overshadowed by the repetitive gameplay of escaping and dealing with the evil corporation. This has been a recurring theme in most Alien media, and it's time for something new. The introduction of a rival company hinted at a potential twist, but it was never explored. And let's not forget the abrupt ending, which left players with more questions than answers. Regardless of whether there was a guaranteed sequel, this was a poor way to conclude the game.
My next suggestion is to add more variety to the gameplay. While I appreciate the absence of combat in the first game and the focus on stealth and survival, I believe that the sequel can benefit from some action and more enemy types. It doesn't have to be a full-blown shooting game, but a few more gameplay elements like puzzles and varied enemies can make a huge difference. I would love to see a farm or a zoo setting with different types of xenomorphs, and perhaps even other alien species infested by the xenomorphs. And let's not forget about the facehuggers, which were underutilized in the first game. We saw in the movie Alien: Covenant how terrifying they can be, and I believe they should play a more significant role in the sequel.
But aside from these changes, I believe that the developers have an excellent starting point. The game's graphics and atmosphere are spot on, and it's genuinely scary. These are the essential elements that make players like me fall in love with the game, despite its flaws. So, maintaining these aspects while addressing the issues mentioned above can make Alien Isolation 2 the best survival horror game and movie tie-in of all time.
In conclusion, I can't wait to see what Sega has in store for us with Alien Isolation 2. As a fan, I have high hopes for the sequel, and I believe that with the right changes and improvements, it can surpass its predecessor and become an iconic game in the horror genre.
