I’ve always seen following walkthroughs as a second-hand experience but in the right circumstance, especially tough linear games, it can be the key to sanity. I have limited time to solve some puzzles and frustration can grow rapidly.
It’s been 2 years I explored the Alien Isolation environment, it’s a brilliant and artistic re-creation of the early years of Ripley but really difficult as the chilling music and sound effects of the Alien hunting you distract your from objectives. Unlike other Alien titles, you have no big guns so you are forced to use stealth which adds up to a scary game of cat and mouse.
So let’s cheat, whoops sorry, I mean look up a walkthrough.
Some sites are dedicated to creating the best walkthrough as soon as the game is released and YouTube is filled with Pros, fanatics, commentators and streamers. Some authors have taken to documenting and selling complete illustrated walkthroughs which must be tough considering all the free stuff out there.
