Nope. Story is the same. The way you approach it, can be different, but that is it ! Can't judge the DLC, because i never played it.
But it's cheap and very tense with headphones. Campaign is also lenghty,which i like, but it can drag on. It has issues, but i have fun with it.
Read/watch review before buying. Vote with your wallet :)

No problem. Also..i read this in the forum:

New buyers beware: a game breaking bug during Mission 14 HAS STILL NOT been fixed.
Pobably never will.
Just feel I have to warn new costumers that, despite this game being loads of fun, they never cared to patch a gamebreaking bug that many customers have during mentioned Mission.
Me, and loads of other people, have been unable to finish the game ever since purchase because of this. If was worth the money untill mission 13... wich is as far as many of us are gonna get. Now its just wasted money. Just google ''misison 14 bug'' and you will see how massive this is and never was there anything done by devs to patch this.
Keep this is mind before purchasing, it will probably ruin your fun up ahead, and keep you from completing the game alltogether.

Lower the resolution, should help with it....probably
Just a friendly warning hahaha :)

The game has great replay value. It usually takes years for me to replay a game but I've played this three times in six months. The difficulty level you choose to play the game on changes things quite a lot.

Replay is a low point of the game.

The story and the main game are of a high calibre, however.
You'll play it at least twice.

The thing that really works is the "a.i." the Alien has. It's scripted, but beatifully realised.
It's "The Alien" you've known about in the films you've seen so far.
It looks like the Alien; it acts like the Alien and it attacks like the Alien in a very disturbing way.

There are scipted sequences you'll see, where it crawls toward you in the way that you see it in the movies, just before it finishes you off, that are simply astounding.
That's no motion capture. Somebody in the development team rigged that animation to how they've seen the Alien move and duplicated it perfectly.

It's an AAA game completely obscured by the Alien so that the game itself tends to fade out too quickly because of it.

They almost had it.
Almost.
Then they released DLC - which only made the situation worse.

It is so well done I think it has great replay value: the same reason some people like me went to see Aliens twice in one day when it came out in the cinema. How many times have I watched Alien? Too many! How many playthroughs of this game do I have? Not enough! Not yet....

Stop playing cracked versions of the game, before making such statements.

It's scripted.

Non-scripted AI hasn't appeared in a computer game yet.
And we'll probably not see "purposeful AI" for another decade.

Games like Alien Isolation rely on a miniscule portion to make a game work the way it does and for the work you need to do to play it out as a game.

Non-scripted purposeful AI is where you would likely never be able to finish the game, unless the game design periodically "turned it off" and you got to do what moved the game forward.

If you like it you will want to do replays. There is a lot to be checked out, different diifficulties. different tactics, tools and so on. First time players do rarely understand what's really going on in this game, they are mostly busy with surviving and miss a lot of details.
During backtracking i experienced some random events related to the appearance of civilians, friendly or hostile.

This game's replayability is quite high in my opinion. I have 126 hours invested in it, which is a lot for a single player only game (the most I have ever invested in a single player game).

The campaign itself is quite lengthy (about 20 hours), which I replayed several times on both Hard difficulty and Nightmare difficulty, as gameplay varies significantly in those difficulties. The plot won't change each time you play, but the unscripted and random AI will keep you entertained each time nonetheless.

On top of that, the game gives you a chance to free roam on some of the missions, and there's plenty of interesting lore related items to find on Sevastopol that you wouldn't find during the standard missions.

Some of the DLC is also quite nice if you enjoy the core mechanic of the cat and mouse play with the Alien. Safe Haven, Lost Contact and Last Survivor are personal favorites of mine.

It isn't scripted, it's random.

Maybe you should read my original post, before making a ignorant comment like this.
It cleary says that i am refering to another post ( from another person in the forum).
Ergo: i came not from me !!
This was friendly warning to a new player, who is thinking of buying this game.
And FWI, i have this game on the PS4 !!!!!

If this is the bug with the elevator, I've encountered that. Lowering all the graphical settings to the lowest possible options seems to help. (Oddly enough, I then had a bug a couple times where the next room loaded but there was no dialogue/objectives/etc., but that fixed itself after a few tries.)
