To give you an example, I learned fairly quickly that the Alien in the game has absolutely no patterns to what it does. This extends to how he gets into rooms, searches areas, and how it just reacts to it's environment. I'm used to horror games (resident evil, outlast, amnesia, etc.) that abide by a certain rule set whether that's the enemies only checking lockers you're not hiding in or stop following you once you reach a certain checkpoint. In Isolation once I got a few rooms past the Alien I thought it was safe to go full sprint only to hear the scream of the alien behind me followed by being chased to my death.
You also quickly learn that weapons are completely useless in this game as the first thing you pick up is the classic Aliens flamethrower that gave me a false sense of protection. You then find out later on that the time that it takes to aim the thing you're already dead.
The demo didn't even touch on the crew interaction that's said to be a key part of the game. From what I've been told I'm hoping the human interaction is comparable to certain movies like "The Thing".
In short...Day 1 purchase for me.

Like AlexRNd said you just gave this game a lot more luv than it did a day ago. As you have played the game and given you point what others will get is this game is fucking hard which to me is what is needed in games today.
With most ''Gamers" today bitch about there are no games to play, what I see is most of them just watch some geezer play and then follow what they did and say they have beaten the said game, Nothing wrong in a little help if you get stuck.
So with what you say no matter how you come at this game you have to play this game for ''yourself'' very interesting.
Now if the geezers that are developing the game just get that across in the marketing they will find that they will get a little more luv for the game.
As the dlc's are going to be released later I will get this at another time but I think you just made those who are getting the game dayOne feel a little better.
