Where I sign on, not off, to Alien: Isolation [#Alien movie franchise fans will get that, I swear]: So consider this a brief blurb instead about my intro to the game. On booting it up, I started to get goosebumps from the fecking Menu Screen. When checking the Credits, I nodded internally with approval at the sound of [Ellen] Ripley’s voicemashing the phrase “This is Ripley”. Everything about the load screens and the initial cinematic grabbed me: I even managed to overlook the cringey cardboardishness of the human characters in the excitement of knowing I was playing Amanda Ripley, Ellen’s daughter [and yes, youre soon-to-get an entire other post about just why the Alien Franchise is excruciatingly important in my nogginscape].
