### 3/5 — اا

*2026-07-21, version 1.3.1*

شلون الكه التكمله

### 4/5 — Melhor jogo do mundo

*2026-07-15*

O melhor jogo que ja joguei mas só achei meio caro o jogo todo ser 80 reais mas jogo perfeito o gráfico a qualidade tudo perfeito parabéns

### 5/5 — Perfect for a long haul flight

*2026-06-08, version 1.3.1*

Grab a controller and some noise cancelling headphones and enjoy. Beautiful port of a fantastic game.

### 5/5 — I’ll never forget this :]

*2026-06-05, version 1.3.1*

When I was 9 my dad gave me his PS4 and he bought this game.

It was so FUN and incredibly terrifying at the same time soon I’ll be 11 and I have to admit this is an amazing game.

The story line is peak and the gameplay is SO SMOOTHER THEN SMOOTH.

I really loved the game and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANY FANS OF HORROR AND ACTUALLY GIVES YOU CHILLS down your spine I really enjoyed this I hope you do too


:U plus it’s a 10/10 stars!

### 4/5 — No Audio

*2026-05-27, version 1.3.1*

I love this game on the PC and it has been ported fairly well, but I have zero audio and no, I do not have the mute function currently operational on my device..The audio bug is specific to this game. I can immediately go to several other games such as subnautica and audio instantly works, I can play movies going directly from the game and audio works.I checked my options and its on the speakers with max audio volume etc.. still no audio, had it not had sub titles I would have just tossed this game.. Other than that the game runs true to the PC, my only other pref would be to somehow put away the item in your hand, I click the holster icon and it still remains ready to use and can be accidentally used if my thumb swipes the icon..

### 4/5 — Too long to load

*2026-05-25, version 1.3.1*

The game was good, but it took forever to load

### 4/5 — 《希望官方加个中文翻译》

*2026-05-08, version 1.3.1*

什么时候能加个中文啊 游戏很好但是看不懂，劝退了

### 5/5 — Awesome! But missing achievements!

*2026-05-07, version 1.3.1*

Besides the missing achievements that all platforms have (except the Switch), this game is just awesome. Gameplay is awesome. Sound is awesome. This was my dream come dream when I played so much of it back in 2014 that I hoped that it comes to mobile. The performance is great. You can dial it up or down based on your iPhone or iPad's hardware. 

Played it on every platform so I had to get it. I even 100% the achievements/trophies. Sadly, the fact this version doesn't have achievements is upsetting a little. It needs to be added. It's not too late!

### 5/5 — One of the best games I’ve ever played

*2026-04-30, version 1.3.1*

I keep replaying it over and over

### 5/5 — Más juegos así

*2026-04-28, version 1.3.1*

Muy buen juego aunque alien hasta que no pagas la demo no te lo encuentras

### 5/5 — Amazing game!

*2026-04-26, version 1.3.1*

Thank you Feral for bringing this amazing game to iOS, it’s such a nice game and the porting you did is just incredible. Now please bring Sleeping Dogs to iOS too! Pretty Please!

### 5/5 — Mon avis

*2026-04-25*

Je n’ai pas l’habitude, de laisser des avis mais la je me devait de le faire. Ce jeu est l’un des meilleurs (selon moi). Du design, scénario, sans oublier l’IA de l’Alien qui est bluffante. Un  grand merci aux développeurs pour cette expérience !

### 5/5 — Best mobile experience ever

*2026-04-24, version 1.3.1*

Such an intense and scary game, totally worth the cost and the graphics are perfect. I have an IPhone 11 and this game works completely normal with no lag at all. Highly recommended.

### 3/5 — Jogo muito bom, bem otimizado

*2026-04-20*

Só estou dando essa nota pq o salvamento automático não tá funcionando, ai o alien me mata e eu volto do ultimo save longe pra caramba, isso ta raiva demais

**Developer response:** Alien: Isolation exige que os jogadores salvem manualmente seu progresso nos pontos de registro (representados por uma cabine telefônica de emergência). O jogo também salva automaticamente ocasionalmente, por exemplo, ao iniciar uma nova fase. Um ícone de fita adesiva aparecerá no canto superior direito da tela quando o jogo estiver salvando. Você retornará ao seu último ponto de salvamento caso seja eliminado no jogo.

Alien: Isolation utiliza muita memória do sistema; se o seu dispositivo estiver usando muita memória enquanto executa várias tarefas, ele poderá fechar aplicativos minimizados para liberar memória para aplicativos ou tarefas ativas. Isso significa que, ao tentar retomar Alien: Isolation, o jogo poderá precisar ser reiniciado. Portanto, recomendamos que você salve seu progresso sempre que vir um ponto de registro, pois o jogo retornará ao seu último ponto de salvamento ao ser reiniciado.

### 5/5 — Um dos mas top que joguei❤️❤️

*2026-04-04*

Cara esse jogo é simplesmente sensacional, a IA do alien é simplesmente muito daora é difícil skksk e realmente passei muito susto , mas zerei e posso dizer que jogo lindo istupendo eu recomendo….

### 5/5 — Having a Blast

*2026-03-30, version 1.3.1*

It’s been six months since i started playing, and i’ve been doing it daily ever since. 
Even if you complete story a few times, Survivor Mode Challenges are always fun to do, 
Xenomorphs Ai is very dynamic so everytime you play he’ll be somewhere else.
Graphics look almost same as console/PC, basically everything is same content-wise as console ver.
For this price you get whole collection (everything game has to offer.) and it’s absolutely worth it e v e r y single dollar, 
Thank You Feral for such amazing port!

### 1/5 — We need CHINESE

*2026-07-22, version 1.3.1*

Chinese please

### 1/5 — Let down by not being fully MFI controller compatible

*2026-07-11, version 1.3.1*

I have a Gamevice MFI controller that works pretty much perfectly with all other games but is rendered virtually useless with this since the sprint and crouch inputs are set as pressing down the joysticks.  My controller doesn’t have pressable joysticks and although there are spare buttons available on it that could be used as inputs instead, the game doesn’t allow you to edit the inputs. It would all be very simple to fix but Feral aren’t interested. And to add insult to injury, Apple have it in their “great with controllers” section. And I don’t see why I should have to buy one of the “compatible” controllers as the developers suggest , my controller is MFI and predates the game, the onus was on Feral to make their game compatible for all MFI controllers, and it’s not true that there’s nothing that can be done, hundreds of apps on here offer controller remapping, the missing control inputs could easily be remapped to other spare buttons.
