Alien: Isolation | Meeting the almighty AI APOLLO and dying too many times in the Nest

Gameplay Part 5

Discover the true meaning of fear in Alien: Isolation, a survival horror set in an atmosphere of constant dread and mortal danger. Fifteen years after the events of Alien™, Ellen Ripley’s daughter, Amanda enters a desperate battle for survival, on a mission to unravel the truth behind her mother's disappearance.

As Amanda, you will navigate through an increasingly volatile world as you find yourself confronted on all sides by a panicked, desperate population and an unpredictable, ruthless Alien.

Underpowered and underprepared, you must scavenge resources, improvise solutions and use your wits, not just to succeed in your mission, but to simply stay alive.

In this playthrough we cover:

Mission 12 - Synthetic Solution:

Amanda Ripley reaches Seegson Synthetics in pursuit of Samuels, who has gone against protocol to access APOLLO’s core directly. The facility is now overrun with hyper-aggressive Working Joes, forcing Amanda to navigate assembly lines and control centers while staying out of sight. When she finally locates Samuels, he’s in the process of overriding APOLLO’s systems, sacrificing himself in a last-ditch effort to help Amanda. His actions succeed in opening a path to the core, giving Ripley a slim chance to confront APOLLO and uncover who’s truly pulling the strings.

Mission 13 - Consultation:

Amanda enters APOLLO Core, descending into the sterile, humming heart of Sevastopol’s artificial intelligence. Inside, she interfaces directly with the system, demanding answers about the Xenomorphs and the station’s lockdown. What she learns is horrifying — APOLLO isn’t acting on its own, but under orders from Weyland-Yutani, which has paid Seegson to preserve the alien lifeform at any cost. As Amanda restores limited station control, she discovers there are multiple creatures aboard, confirming her worst fears: ejecting one into space didn’t end the nightmare — it multiplied it.

Mission 14 - The Descent (Part 1):

Determined to stop the infestation once and for all, Amanda makes her way to the Reactor Core, where the Xenomorph presence has grown out of control. Traversing the shattered corridors and unstable engineering decks, she discovers evidence of alien nests spreading throughout Sevastopol. The deeper she goes, the more grotesque the environment becomes — human remains cocooned in resin, eerie hisses echoing through the dark. After clearing multiple lockdowns and restoring power to the elevator, and taking out androids, Amanda descends into Central Reactor Maintenance, preparing to face whatever horror waits below.
