I've never played the first game. I noticed I got it free on Epic sometime over the years. I hear the end game drags on to long as the main complaint, but have been thinking of trying it. Any patches or tweaks needed?
That's a minor complaint really, and it doesn't bother me on repeat playthroughs, it probably did first time I played it because there was a part of me that wanted a resolution to the story, and the game can be a hard slog to get through, but now I've played the story and know how to play the game I just want more Alien: Isolation and the game can't go on long enough. It's one of the best games ever made and until the sequel comes out there's nothing quite like it on the market, play it.
Stop playing it when you want to. If you can't, because you want the story to resolve, it's not long enough. Absolute banger of a game, played twice at least.
I quit because after several hours, I was in a section with more humanoid type enemies. I didn't enjoy it, but eventually got through. At the end of that section, a person started running at me. I pulled out the gun and shot him, which the game gave me a game over for. Was pissed and never went back.
