I just completed part 1 of Alien: Rogue Incursion and I really liked it. it feels like if Alien: Isolation was an action-horror FPS, but it also does a lot of things that I really wish Alien: Isolation had done:

• a lot more thought was put into the environments. like what is this room for? how does it fit into the overall layout of the area that you’re in? what is this division of the station for? etc.
• a lot more thought was also put into the objectives, like what kind of technology are you manipulating right now and to what end?
• there’s a lot of {manipulating physical objects in your environment} which I find very grounding. I especially love the rewiring minigame because it’s so seamless and feels like it’s just another part of the world that you’re interacting with
• overall the world just feels much more real and substantial than in Alien: Isolation. you can really take your time to appreciate little details and they will all make sense in context
• the intensity is never cranked up too high. I found the intensity of the second half of Alien: Isolation to be pretty exhausting - just being consistently high with no breaks
• the map is much smaller and more focused and there’s a lot of backtracking and Metroidvania-like exploration, so it’s possible to gain a sense of the layout of the station over time
• also, the story isn’t told especially well so I was able to not care about the characters and not be disturbed/upset by the parts that tried to hurt me, while still enjoying the lore and worldbuilding

so yeah I feel like 95% of players would find this game boring at best but I liked it so much that I’m replaying it on a harder difficulty, and I’m already finding new secrets that I missed on my first playthrough
