Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition Reviews
All in all, I recommend Alien: Rogue Incursion, but… not if you’re a newbie to VR or are prone to motion sickness. Play a few other games first to get worked up to this one, and then you can enjoy it with the rest of us. You won’t regret picking the game up if you’re an Alien fan.
Alien: Rogue Incursion has surprised me for the better and is the perfect culmination to a great year of virtual reality video games. The game has a metroidvania approach and creates an atmosphere of terror and danger that gets you right into the action. Although the final part is a bit tedious and the game only tells the first part of a bigger story, I totally recommend it, especially if you are a fan of the saga.

Alien: Rogue Incursion is a frighteningly impressive game that nails the tone of the series and is the title that could push the common perception of VR forward. The save system is a bit harsh, but the sheer immersion and fear that the game specializes in makes this a VR must-play.
Alien: Rogue Incursion had a huge potential, where it could have delivered one of the best horror experiences in virtual reality, but unfortunately it totally botched it. Instead of focusing on one aspect, Survios tried to split the game into two genres, additionally ending with an unpleasant cliffhanger. It could have been so great, and in the end it came out barely okay.

Alien: Rogue Incursion does a lot of things right. It skilfully transfers the claustrophobic atmosphere of the first Alien films to VR: the alternation of light and darkness, the nested corridors and rooms and the omnipresent Xenomorphs ensure that you are constantly on edge – even when you get into a certain routine in fighting the Alien. The disadvantage compared to other survival horror games is that there is essentially only one type of enemy here – and not, as in Doom and Co., a wide range of creeps. But the intense moments of the game, when Zula just reaches the safety of the Panic Room or wins a fight with the literally last bullet, make up for that. The setting with the rescue mission is somewhat generic, but Survios has put a lot of effort into the dialogue and dubbing. The game definitely fulfils the most important criterion: it feels like a real alien adventure.

Alien: Rogue Incursion is one of the best VR and Alien games ever made. The game not only showcases that Alien has a great potential in the gaming world (again), but it also shows how far VR gaming has come. It is one of the most immersive and fun experiences I’ve ever had on PSVR2.
Alien: Rogue Incursion is able to capture the visual identity and the scary atmosphere of classic movies and survival horror games in a manner that is brought to life in virtual reality in a much more significant way. It is very stunning to look at, and the controls are even more impressive.
Alien: Rogue Incursion was the best virtual reality experience I've had to date, it's a truly immersive and well-set game, and delivers an unprecedented story and an audiovisual experience with plenty of interaction and tactile responses, all in an atmosphere with terrifying tones, and enemies that intelligently use the different angles of the scenarios, there are times when it gives you chills.

Alien: Rogue Incursion makes for an excellent VR horror game that successfully delivers the series’ best scares through a whole new perspective. It works and it is incredibly fun to play. From the game’s chilling atmosphere to the intense gunplay, this is Alien like you have never experienced it before. Survios has done an excellent job.
With Alien: Rogue Incursion, Survios once again showcases their expertise in creating engaging virtual experiences. Opting for a more action-focused approach rather than the stealth of Isolation, they successfully capture the essence of exploration and the franchise's tense atmosphere. Fans will enjoy Zula Hendricks' adventure in the claustrophobic environments of the Cradle of Castor, filled with elements that make the iconic xenomorph so captivating. The game is exciting and fun, though it has some coding issues and a somewhat repetitive final segment. Otherwise, it's a must-play for fans who love the thrill of space horror.
