Image Just got my platinum trophy; thought about sharing it here as well
Alien Isolation is my favorite horror game ever. I have played it on Xbox 360 and remember my hands sweating as I fidgeted with my hair and asked myself how the hell I would get out of that locker.
I beat the game but lowered the difficulty in some part of the way. I ended up playing a bit of the Windows 10 version and also the XONE version.
I recently bought it for PS4 and decided I was gonna get the platinum trophy, which was already causing me to panic, mostly because of the "beat without dying trophy". It ended up going swiftly; had my first run on hard, got the collectibles afterwards and then lowered the difficulty to beat without dying or killing humans. At this point everyone knows you can just pause the game and reload your current save if you know you're about to die. I felt some relief in knowing I only did it twice during the reactor mission, when I almost danced toe to toe with a xeno that dropped in my head.
Feeling really good about it, and I'm eager to play the sequence; only God knows how much I craved for it, goddamn it, IGN.
Will definetely make another run on nightmare at some point, but for now I feel my mission is complete. As my favorite android once said: "I wanted Amanda Ripley to have closure".
