Alien Isolation is a game that captures the essence of Alien in profound ways. But does it stick too close to the film that inspired it? Is Amanda Ripley's story too similar to that of her mother? Spoiler alert: the answer is no. But on this episode, Jaime, Patrick, Christian, and guest CP have a hell of a time coming around to that conclusion. For…
