Questions about DLC:

[Mudd]

I got this on sale a long time ago and I'm finally playing it. I noticed there is a bunch of DLC and the "season pass." Is the season pass a collection of all the DLC? How much would I be missing out to not get the DLC and/or the Season Pass? Please do the best you can to not give spoilers in your responses. Thanks!

No, the season pass is a collection of 5 add-on packs - Trauma, Corporate Lockdown, The Trigger, Safe Haven and Lost Contact. It doesn't include Crew Expendable and Last Survivor DLC. If you want ALL the DLC then you get the complete collection.

If you want an idea of what the season pass is, there is a free survivor map that comes with the original game, called 'Basement'. In the main menu if you click on Survivor Mode it should be in there. Play it after you've finished the game, and if you like it, the season pass is pretty much like that but bigger levels.

The other 2 DLC crew expendable and last survivor are just short add-on stories that tie in with the original movie Alien, rather than Alien Isolation.

Should you get them all. Yes, if you enjoyed the main game and want more of the same, they are definately worth it. Like I say, try the free Basement level out in Survivor mode and see if you like it. I think Safe Haven and Lost Contact were fantastic DLC. None of them have any achievements, they just add more hours to the game.

I didn't really like the DLC it's different than the main game you get a bunch of random missions fetch this thing turn on that generator and do it all against a time window for score with no story content just go get the thing it tells you to or get to the elevator, instead of sneak through the ship avoiding the alien at your own pace thinking up creative ways to outsmart it. It's like the arcade version of short segments of the game you can play over and over for faster times on the scoreboard if you're into that kind of thing. It does have a couple new areas though.

The only ones I don't have are last survivor and crew expendable so not sure if those have any story to miss out on I guess they weren't included with the season pass when I bought it so know it doesn't include all of them which I think is a dirty trick, and it doesn't say what it even includes unless you look at every single DLC individually and find out about half way down the page it says "don't buy this if you own the season pass you'll be charged twice." And then you have to guess that since it doesn't say that on Last Survivor and Crew Expendable that it's not included? Pretty stupid to get an extra 5 bucks out of customers. So yeah I don't own those DLC's.

Those two were Pre Order bonuses

Well if after a decade they're still not included in the season pass they should at least make it clear on the store page. All I'm saying.

You have to do a Sherlock Holmes puzzle to find out what you get and even then it doesn't definitively say.

It very clearly says on the Season Pass page what it includes though

Definitely worth getting the season pass if you enjoyed the gameplay of the campaign. It's like a collection of 9 mini missions and optional tasks (each with its own map), plus two mini-campaigns (Lost Contact and Safe Haven) each with 2 distinct maps connected by a safe room where you get a series of objectives and have to choose your path each time.

Last Survivor and Crew Expendable (the Nostromo missions) can be purchased separately and are usually only like $1 each when on sale.

Where? The only button on the season pass is "add to cart" and no info about it on there.

Oh I found it, you have to add it to your cart, then go to there, and you can click it and see what comes with it. Freaking Sherlock Holmes puzzle man. There's no link to that page, with the season pass info from the store page for me.

And first time reading reviews for it seems like I'm not the only one thinking the season pass should get you the other two they sneakily leave out of it.
