Care to elaborate, haha? Heard some people say its amazing. But I always got that vibe that it didn't look like my cup of tea. Pure survival shooter shit.

Er, no. It's pure survival horror. There are guns in the game but it's not even remotely close to being a shooter. Pretty sure I never fired a shot during my entire playthrough, if I did it wasn't actually aimed at an enemy.

isolation is a very stealth-based game, in the first 70% of the game you will die if you are spotted by the alien basically. you have to throw stuff around and sneak around it. the save system kinda sucks, so you will have to redo like 15-45 mins of effort many times when you die. if you hate stealth, jump-scare, and long-times-between-save-checkpoint games you will hate this game, if you like that kind of stuff you will enjoy it.

If you like survival horror--the strict definition of the genre where you have very limited tools to fight with and spend most of your time running and hiding from an invincible Bad Thing--absolutely. Think Silent Hill/Clock Tower/Haunting Ground/Rule of Rose/Siren/Penumbra/Amnesia, not Resident Evil/Dead Space/Evil Within.
Or Alien, not Aliens. If you're a big fan of the movie, the amount ofdetailthat they put into the Sevastopol to make it faithful to the original is really damned impressive.

This is what I disliked about it in reality. It got to the point where everytime I died I just stopped playing and would pick it back up a few days later.

Make sure you pick up the expansion/DLC, After Dark.
It makes Tourism not worthless and fixes some of the traffic issues.

Thanks a ton for mentioning cities: Skylines. I'd never heard of that game and picked it up. Took a break from getting my ass spanked in Dark Souls 2 and played it for awhile last night. This is probably the first game in years (besides League) that I see myself going over 100 hours in.
edit- Is there a colorblind setting, or a colorblind mod for this game? I tried a few of the color palettes, but they didnt seem to be aimed at color blind losers.

If anyone is interested, there's a turn-based RPG called Avernum: Escape From the Pit on sale for $2. Definitely a low budget game but I'm finding it to be quite enjoyable for the $$.
