A man chooses. A slave... nevermind. That's too bad. =) Still, definitely worth it, unless you need to feel like a god killing everything in sight. In such case, this isn't the game for you.

I think you're the only person in the world who has called this game short; several reviews docked it for being too long!
The second round of DLC was released today; I ended up buying the season pass so downloading now!

I think he meant the length of the DLC, not of the game proper...

Oh
In fairness to you, when I first read that exchange, I inferred it the same way. My immediate thought was, "You thought the game was short - WTF?"

The graphics and sound of this game continue to impress me, and I really don't feel like the graphics especially got enough praise. I think this is one of the best looking next-gen games out there. The lighting, depth of field, modeling of the environments, its all very cinematic and immersive. I'd call it one of the least video-game looking video games out there.
Agreed.

Right?! I mean there's plenty of other beautiful next-generation games (The Last of Us, GTA V, Unity), but I don't think any others look as realistic as Isolation. Just a couple screengrabs pulled from brbZoning's YouTube video of yesterday's new DLC for example...

Yeah. The audio makes the game.

Speaking of which, I played the game at family's house last week, experiencing it for the first time without surround sound/headphones, and its nowhere near the same experience. Like, I don't even know how a person could properly play the game if the speakers built into their television was their only source of sound. It was like I'd lost my sense of hearing; I couldn't determine where the alien was in relation to me, nor could I hear the thumping of his footsteps at all (the television speakers couldn't produce that low of a frequency). Not only was the immersion completely ruined, but the game felt unplayable from a strategic standpoint.

yeah thats pretty much how I see it too.... even my TV room has a soundbar and speakers in each corner. It's the only way to go

Few games have such great positional audio. Others I can recall would be the Crysis games, and Jedi Outcast.

Did this ever get patched for PS4? There were save issues with 1.02 update.

This is by far the most underrated game of the year, IGN gave it a 5.9 what a joke. It a masterpiece and a must have for any alien fan out there.

How about some sympathy for me guys.. I still have an older TV. 
I almost don't want to play the damn thing now, seeing I don't have a large paper thin HD monitor & 8.1 up the wazoo.

true, they are useless and not so subtly biased towards whoever has the most $$$
I give AI a solid 9/10, it loses a point for its underwhelming ending
edit: actually I would say .5 of a point for the ending and settle on a 9.5
