Press release info below:
QuoteIn an original story set fifteen years after the film, players take on the role of Ellen Ripley’s daughter Amanda, who seeks to discover the truth behind her mother’s disappearance. Marooned aboard the stricken space station Sevastopol along with a few desperate survivors, players must stay out of sight, scavenge for resources and use their wits to survive as they are stalked by an ever-present, deadly Alien.

The labyrinthine Sevastopol is an incredibly detailed world that conceals hundreds of logs and hidden items which provide clues to the mystery behind the station’s catastrophic decline. As they explore, players will crawl through air vents, scope out hiding places, hack computer systems and deploy gadgets in a constant bid to outsmart the terrifying Alien, whose unpredictable, dynamic behavior evolves after each encounter.

Alien: Isolation – The Collection will include all DLC previously released for the game including two stand-alone missions set aboard Ellen Ripley’s ship the Nostromo, in which players become a member of the original crew and attempt to evade, contain, and ultimately escape the Alien. The Collection also includes five mission packs that add new maps, playable characters and challenges to Survivor and Salvage modes, outside the main story.

"The technology aboard the Sevastopol harks back brilliantly to the original film," said David Stephen, Managing Director of Feral Interactive. "As players glance at the glowing interface of the motion tracker while desperately hoping the alien doesn't hear its bleeps, they'll experience the same creeping terror felt by the original crew of the Nostromo..."

Rewatching this review now to see if I wanna get this or not sometime.

** potential spoilers.
I too love RLM but they didn't like the game. So I'd suggest watching the following to balance out the opinions (again spoilers guys):
