I love RLM to death, but that review of Alien: Isolation is pedantic and probably based off of poor gameplay. I wonder if Rich and Jack were in a bad mood that week.
If you go slow as shit in A:I and hide in every goddamn locker when being chased (instead of pressing on,) the game will seem tedious. Going slow only increases your chances of getting killed and having to reload. If you stop screwing around and play smart, it's not nearly as slow (and dull) as they make it out to be. It seems like they were playing with glitchy AI, too (which does happen occasionally.)
I don't know what the fuck they were expecting with a game based on the first Alien movie, but set on a huge derelict space station that's on lockdown. Why is it surprising that you'll have to get past barricades and door locks when people have tried to hide in certain wards? It's not like Resident Evil games where it makes no goddamn sense that every third door is locked and the key is placed in an attic behind another locked door, with that key placed in a trap, behind another locked door whose key is stuck on a book.
Alien: Isolation is by no means perfect, but they make it out to be a complete pile of shit (when I guarantee you their poor gameplay ruined the experience.)

I've always found Red Letter Media to be bitter and trying much too hard to find flaws and reasons to dislike things while at the same time attempting too hard to be funny.
