Just about to start playing this. What's the best difficulty for a typical gamer to play this on?
Hard. It's what the game recommends. I died a shitload, but I'm not sure exactly how much normal would have prevented.

Ok, thanks.
Don't feel pressured to play it on hard. It's a difficult game overall, the alien's AI on hard is frustrating and borderline unfair. I'd start at normal and bump it if it's too easy.
I didn't mind the game's length but I gotta saythe 30 second ending after all that really blew
Just wanna let you know right off the bat - you'll probably get stuck at a certain point dealing with a squad of humans very early in the game.
From what I've seen, everyone does.

Guess you have to play on harder than normal difficulty for this to happen.
Yeah same. It's hard to feel tense for that long.Still don't know why it was so long. The length killed much of the momentum it had built to me. Tension and atmosphere are really good at first.
Had this in my backlog for ages. I just finished SOMA and loved it, is this comparable? It sounds like it might be too much of a slog. I liked that SOMA didn't last too long and that there were some serene moments.
You're right, the monsters were annoying at times in SOMA, so you would say dealing with the Alien is more fun? Not sure if 'tense' means 'stressful' lolWell, it's comparable in that there's a monster chasing you most of the time. I had the reverse experience, played SOMA right after Isolation. That probably wasn't the best move, because it really puts to light how limited the monster mechanics in SOMA are. On top of that, the designs make them seem like a joke compared to the Alien. The monsters in SOMA were more annoying than scary. With the Alien there's real tension, and you also have more options in dealing with the threat. Isolation is on another level in that aspect.

Haha ok. I'll definitely fire it up, so long as my gfWell maybe 'fun' isn't the right word since the Alien is a complete asshole, but definitely more engaging and varied. The Alien feels like a real nemesis with unpredictable behaviour, something the lame monster gallery in SOMA could only dream to have.
If you thought the monsters in SOMA were lame and/or annoying, it's time to try Isolation and see who's boss. Just judging from the monster mechanic, SOMA feels like it was made 10 years ago.
Yes, yes it is. Absolutely adore this game. A real 10/10 for me.
It's a pretty great and scary game but it goes on about an hour too long.
