I'm playing the xbox one version with head tilt kinect turned on but background noise turned off.
I've put a few hours in this evening and am glad I picked it up. I think any Alien fans or survival horror fans will like it on what I've played so far.
At first I thought the controls were a bit floaty, they can be adjusted but I've adapted to them now and it's not an FPS.
Graphics are very pc-ish, and the lip sync on characters is hilarious but other than that graphically it's solid. I don't know much about frame rates or anti aliaising or whatever but it's clean and no tearing present.
Soundwise it's superb, the incidental music really ramps up the tension and it's foreboding throughout.
The pacing is also very good. I've found it quite tiring to play because it's captured the edge of the seat feeling even from the start of the game. I'm not usually into stealth games but have felt compelled to check everything out and move very slowly through the environment.
There are a couple of niggles though. I'm about 4 hours in but probably not as far as I should be because I've ended up wandering around for half an hour on a couple of occasions and then found an easy to miss vent or switch. It would be good to know if others get stuck in the places I have because it's not normally a problem.
I've died quite a fair bit too particularly when
I'm a fiend for collectibles and they are neatly marked out on the map, although I'm sure I will miss some of them.
Achievements seem ok but there's a 100g for a no deaths run which seems a bit of a tall order.
Any specific questions, happy to try and answer.
How do I add a poll?
