Why did IGN give this game a 5?
I can't decide whether to get this or not. 5 is a very low score. Not sure if the people who are saying this is good are the vocal fanboys. How to decide?

Well its IGN who have in the past sold good reviews and given bad reviews when people refuse to pay for a good one so I wouldn't listen to much to anything they say.

Chances are they gave the game to a sports fan to review and he spent the whole time screaming "I wana touch down the alien but hes not a baseball!!".


I can understand that people who dont like survival horror would hate this game as it involves a lot of sneaking around avoiding stuff which can be tedious for people who don't enjoy that kind of thing, however reviwers should either take the genre into account (if they like it or not) OR leave the review to be done be somebody who does enjoy that genre.
I'm pretty sure IGN and other sites like it are just in it for the money via ads. Since this game won't appeal to everyone, they score it low. Allow me to explain.

IGN will score more commonly-played and familiar games higher. Especially bro games such as CoD, Battlefield, or Halo, since those are popular and keep fans coming back to feed their 'I'm part of the good crowd' ego. Recently, we've seen a decline in those scores, because even the fans are unhappy with how the franchises have been handled. For instance, if they scored Battlefield highly after the debacle that was launch, their readership would drop because the fans would think that IGN was in DICE's pocket. Likewise, if they rated this game highly, their readership would go out, buy the game, find that it was not to their liking, and blame IGN for the high rating, and their readership would also drop there too. If readership drops, their ads get less hits, and they lose money.

Additionally, that would bring negative press to an already niche' game, deterring undecided players from buying the game, even those who might like it, based on forum traffic and the opinion of the cut-and-paste, corporate-money-farm gamer of today. So consider it a blessing in disguise that we don't have a bunch of noob-tubing shooty-bang-bangers waltzing around the forums saying how much the game sucks balls, or whatever.

Who said girls cant enjoy video games? Almost half of gamers are girls. Anyway 10/10 imo and one of my new favorite games. Alogn with the half life games, system shock 2, bioshock infinite and stalker shadow of chernobyl. Buy it and ♥♥♥♥ IGN's payed reviews.

Listen to the King of the North. He speaks wisdom and truth.

I like you, I shall name thou my squire :D
IGN are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, you should never trust them for reviews. Use metacritic or polygon as they are much more reliable.
IGN gave godhand 3/10

they are a trash site, never taken any notice of what these jokers say.

alien isolation is a much better game than evil within

...and all evil within players are on their way to start the war of the 2014 AAA titles.
I personelly ignored evil within as it really just seems to be the worst parts of silent hill and resident evil.

My opinion is, that the reviewer rushed through the game and therefore had massive problems with the game.
It's a really simple thing with this game: The more unpatient you are, the more often you're going to die. A german Reviewer from "Gamestar" rushed through the game, too and gave it 73% claiming that the game ist unfair and you basically you don't have a chance to prevent deaths, at all. A few days he tried the game, again with more patience and...well...yesterday he revised his Review and rated the game with 80%.

Don't let the low scores hold you off from buying this game. This game is good.
(and a must-have if you're into the Alien-Franchise)
From what I've seen of it its mediocre, not scary just gory, horribly mechanics, story which is random for random sakes, letterbox view cutting off half the screen with black bars

Then theres something I HOPE they removed.. in early builds at least a random enemy would spawn which 1 shots you unless you have 100% hp and puts you on 1 health otherwise, and this enemy would spawn at any time at any place meaning when your in the middle of fighting enemies he'll spawn behind you and 1 shot you and he could even spawn at the bottom of a ladder you NEED to go down meaning you literally can't do anything but reload and hope he doesn't randomly spawn there agian...

Hopefully they at least got rid of that dumb idea so tis just mediocre instead of outright awful
Lol I think hes talkign about the evil within...

Yeah, my bad....sorry man!
You're not a smart man if you rely on IGN to tell you what game to buy.
gone are the days when peopel think for themselves....oh wait I don't think people ever did anything like that
No, no, IGN's review is good. And valid. It is just the other type of gamer, who doesnt appeal to Alien Isolation. And that is how the reviewer felt about it, and you might as well.
Technically Alien Isolation is top notch. But for gameplay, everyone has to make his own opinion. I have seen female gamers on Twitch not able to continue because they were too scared, screaming, trying to turn away from the screen in order not to get scared, hittting the ESC key in every exciting situation in order to commit, etc. But also girls who were not appealed by the scary atmosphere at all, mostly with a comment like "this game bores me".
Perhaps they lack the experience of any advance in game, it can be tenacious and tense.
About half of all female gamers i watched on Twitch just loves the game.
