PayPalIf you fancy scaring yourself silly this weekend, be sure to check out Alien: Isolation - The Collection which is 70% off on the Feral Interactive store.
Note: Buying from the Feral Store gives you a Steam key. This is your chance to get a cheaper game and support Feral directly, as they get a bigger cut since this cuts out Steam.
It's an incredible game all around and I've put plenty of hours into it. It scares me something silly, so I had to play it in small segments to not overload my heart.
Alien: Isolation – The Collection contains all DLC, including two stand-alone missions set aboard the Nostromo, in which players become a member of the original crew, and five mission packs that add new maps, playable characters and challenges to the Survivor and Salvage modes.

This game is so good! If you haven't played it yet, go get it.
Let yourself get sucked into the great atmosphere of this game as Creative Assembly managed to bring the feeling Ripley must have had in the first Alien movie into a game. Probably the best Alien game available, for sure the best Alien game on Linux ;)
But learn to read the signs, the game gives you. Otherwise you might get the impression the game would be unfair (at least some gamers claim that), which it isn't at all. You always have a chance. Be brave, but not too perky.
Aww man, I envy everybody who hasn't played it yet and can make this experience fresh from the beginning ;)
I hope there will be a sequel.
edit: ah yes, and it is great to watch other players streaming this game. So if it happens you get a copy, add yourself to the streaming list here, so we can all watch you :D

Can somebody tell me, from their experience, does Alien Isolation works on GTX 560 and how good it performs?
GTX 560 is just below minimum system requirements (Nvidia 6xx series) so I am worried will/how it will work on my machine.
Thanks in advance.

At least a Steam key, don't know if there's a pure download as well.

I can't say anything about a 560, but I used to play this on a GTX 650 Ti Boost and got very good fps (mostly 60 even) on pretty high settings. Maybe that helps for comparisons.
I need to get back to this. I kept getting killed by impatience. :P

tested on GTX 750ti and GTX 860m works really good for me.

Is there really a difference between buying from Feral store and get a Steam key, and buying directly the key from Steam? #honnestquestion

Yes, Feral gets more money when buying directly from them!

Bingo, as keys are generated for free by developers, Steam doesn't get their 30% cut for sales outside of Steam.Is there really a difference between buying from Feral store and get a Steam key, and buying directly the key from Steam? #honnestquestion
Yes, Feral gets more money when buying directly from them!

I bought it, and now I'm afraid to playHonestly it's really cool! Turn off your lights, pump up the volume and dive in the game!
I've played for around 4h I think and it's like an Alien movie where you are the hero, I LOVE IT!

I can handle the xenomorphs. But, what gets me are the facehuggers. They scurry along the floor.
You don't know where they are coming from. I hate those things.

It's an awesome game and I played it from start to finish, would highly recommend anyone to buy it!!
The button pushing/pulling/activating gets rather tedious after a while. Also the constantly hiding really slows down the pace of the game and can get frustrating.
Favorite part was throwing a noise maker and watching the alien butcher all the guards.
