Alien: Isolation is a singleplayer first-person survival horror, stealth, action and shooter game in the Alien series.
The PC version lacks a voice detection feature from the console versions where the player must maintain the microphone's noise level during the game.
The anti-aliasing that ships with the game is rather poor but can be improved.[3] See Anti-aliasing (AA).

Anti-aliasing (AA)
- The built-in anti-aliasing methods don't clean up aliasing and shimmering on high-contrast edges well enough, thus it might be preferable to use TAA instead, which will provide better performance than using downsampling methods such as NVIDIA's DSR.

Issues fixed
Missing sound-effects (High FPS Issues)
- When frame-rates are high, there are issues playing audio sound effects during the following (known) scenarios:
- "Alien kills Ripley" death scenes.
- "Working Joe kills Ripley" death scenes
- "Ripley struggles against Working Joe" combat scenes
Cap FPS with RTSS[10] |

Brightness issues
- When using a flamethrower or plasma cutter, there is a chance that the whole screen will become excessively bright and blurry. The issue is likely connected with the trainer for the game.
Change anti-aliasing setting in game options[citation needed] |

Crashing every 15 minutes on Windows 10
- Game plays normally but crashes every 10 to 15 minutes on Windows 10. This issue is caused by a touch screen keyboard service.
