Alien: Rogue Incursion - Part One: Evolved Edition Reviews
If you like to dabble in Alien games and haven’t played Alien Isolation as yet, I’d recommend that over this. If you’re a true Alien fan and happen to love VR, grab that version of Rogue Incursion instead. If you’re still reading, don’t have VR, and don’t mind a $45 AUD price tag, then this one is for you, warts and all.
Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition loses the one thing that made it feel distinct.
Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition is a worthy addition to the Alien canon of games. It isn’t all out action like Aliens: Fireteam Elite, but requires you to use your brain as well as your trigger finger. I just wish the save system was better.
This flat-screen version of Alien: Rogue Incursion – Part One isn't as tense as its VR counterpart, and its gameplay isn't as exciting as a result, but it remains a solid experience for Alien fans. Just be prepared to backtrack a lot in the latter half and perhaps be disappointed by its unsatisfactory ending.
Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition delivers a fun and engaging experience, balancing action and stealth within the Alien franchise universe, with a well-crafted setting, exploration, and soundtrack that enhance immersion. The VR adaptation to the conventional version was well executed, preserving the essence of the game. However, certain visual glitches take away some of the experience's shine, and the tension and terror don't quite reach the level of Alien: Isolation. Even so, it's a solid title and recommended for fans of the series and the genre.

Alien Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition – Part 1 offers the chance to experience this adventure for anyone who doesn't have VR headsets and is a fan of the Alien saga. It's certainly a "slightly watered-down" version and lacks some of the flaws that the virtual experience provided, but it's still a very entertaining and fun game to play.

Alien: Rogue Incursion nails the atmosphere, spectacle, and sense of place, but struggles to maintain the essential threat level.
Alien: Rogue Incursion Part One – Evolved Edition’s name is nearly as long as its runtime on console. I was able to clear the entire game in roughly 3 hours, though I knew where to go and what to do after having played it once in VR. Without that immersive interactivity, what was already a mediocre title is made that much worse.
Alien: Rogue Incursion - Part One: Evolved Edition proves to be a surprisingly solid adaptation of the VR version. While still retaining some traits of its original DNA, Survios has managed to deliver an atmospheric, adrenaline-filled FPS that respects the spirit of the saga. Despite some inevitable limits due to the transition from VR to traditional consoles, the action sequences, the carefully crafted atmosphere, and the strong technical performance make this edition a must-play for fans of the franchise.

I don’t know how or when “Part Two” will take shape, but I’m eager to see its conclusion as soon as it’s ready. Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition really nails the look and feel of the first two “Alien” movies, especially with the through-line mimicking them as well. I love the tension that comes and goes as you play through the game. Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition transforms the once VR-only experience to a very capable, thrilling, and stunning episode for flatscreens.
Just like plenty of other Alien game developers, Survios tries to chase that Xenomorph dragon that has only been caught by a select few. Even though Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition theoretically ticks quite a few boxes to ensure success, it unfortunately fails in delivering a truly thrilling Alien experience, mostly caused by poor enemy A.I. and lackluster gunplay. If you're a die-hard Alien fan who's only looking for a reason to keep shooting at ammo absorbing but frankly docile Xeno's, there's some fun to be had. Otherwise, I'd advise you to skip this expedition.
