Alien: Isolation (Xbox One) in Kenya

A tense stealth horror game for Xbox One in which you survive on a space station with one deadly alien.

Alien: Isolation is a first-person survival horror game from Creative Assembly for Xbox One, set in the world of the Alien films, where you are hunted by a single, intelligent creature. Available in Kenya from City Gadgets Kenya, this page is for shoppers searching "Alien Isolation Xbox One", "Alien Isolation Kenya", "survival horror Xbox One", "Alien game Xbox One", "buy Xbox One games Nairobi", "stealth horror game" or "Xbox One games Kenya".

Alien: Isolation does not give you an army or an arsenal. It gives you a motion tracker, a few tools and an alien that is far smarter than you would like.

Key specs at a glance

Specifications come from published manufacturer and retail specification sheets. Gaming accessories are sold in several versions with different colours, model codes and platform labels, so please ask our team to confirm the exact model, colour and version in stock before you pay.

What's in the box

What Alien: Isolation is

Alien: Isolation was released in 2014 by Creative Assembly and Sega. It is set fifteen years after the first Alien film and follows Amanda Ripley, the daughter of the original film's hero, as she searches a failing space station for answers about her mother. The station is dark, damaged and not empty. People who search for "Alien Isolation Xbox One" or "survival horror Xbox One" usually want to be scared in a thoughtful way.

The game is slow and tense rather than action-packed. It is about hiding, listening, planning and staying calm when your heart rate rises.

The alien that hunts you

The heart of the game is a single creature that stalks you through the station. It cannot be killed by normal weapons, and it does not follow a fixed script. It listens, searches and learns, so a hiding place that worked once may not work again. This gives the game a feeling of real danger, because you can never be sure that the corridor ahead is empty.

You deal with it by hiding in lockers and under desks, creating distractions, using your motion tracker and moving carefully. You can use tools such as a flamethrower to drive the alien away, but only for a short time. Surviving is a matter of nerves.

Crafting, tools and other enemies

You find materials around the station and use them to craft items such as noisemakers and smoke devices. These tools create openings for you to move or escape. You also meet other threats, including hostile humans and synthetic androids. Dealing with them calls for different tactics from dealing with the alien.

Resources are limited, so each choice matters. Spending a tool now means you may not have it later.

Atmosphere and sound

The station is built to look like the original film's future, with old computer screens, thick cables and heavy doors. The sound design is a major part of the fear. You hear distant footsteps, creaking metal and the beep of your motion tracker. A good headset or a good sound system adds a great deal, but play at a safe volume.

Play in a dark room if you want the full effect, and make sure you are ready for a game that does not release the tension quickly.

How long is it?

The main story takes many hours, and the pacing is deliberate. Some players find that a few hours at a time is enough, because the tension is tiring. You can save at certain points, so plan your sessions around save points.

Is it suitable for children?

No. Alien: Isolation is a horror game with a mature rating on the case. It contains frightening scenes and violence, and it is not suitable for young children. Parents should check the rating and use Xbox family settings. Adults and older teenagers who enjoy horror will find it rewarding.

Playing it on your Xbox

This is an Xbox One game that normally runs on Series X and Series S through backward compatibility. A Series S has no disc drive, so ask us for a digital option if you own one. Check your free storage before you install, and keep your console on a surge-protected extension. A power cut in the middle of a tense scene is bad for the nerves and for unsaved progress.

Tips for survivors

Learn the motion tracker first. It shows movement, but it also gives away your position, so use it carefully. Keep to the shadows, avoid running when the alien is close and listen carefully to every sound. When in doubt, wait. Patience is more effective than panic.

Save often when the game allows. If you die, think about what went wrong and try a different route or a different hiding spot.

Common questions before buying

Is it very scary? Yes. It is a tense horror game, so it suits players who enjoy being frightened.

Can I kill the alien? No. You can only drive it away for a short time and avoid it.

Is there multiplayer? No. It is a single-player game.

Is it suitable for children? No. It has a mature rating, so check the case.

Is it a disc or a digital code? We confirm this for the specific unit before you pay.

Does it work on a Series S? A digital copy can run on a Series S through backward compatibility, but a disc cannot, because the Series S has no disc drive.

Questions we hear often about Xbox games in Kenya

• Is it safe to buy a game from a shop in town? It is safe if you buy from a seller who shows you the item, gives you a receipt and explains the terms. We tell you whether the stock is a disc or a digital code, and which edition, before you pay.

• Will this game work on my Xbox? That depends on your console and on the edition. Tell us whether you own an Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Series X or Series S, and we will confirm. A Series S has no disc drive, so a disc will not play on it.

• Do you deliver in Nairobi and outside? Yes. Orders confirmed before 3pm are delivered the same day in Nairobi, and outside Nairobi we deliver by courier, typically 1 to 3 business days after dispatch. The delivery charge is confirmed before you pay, and M-Pesa is accepted.

• Is the game new? We list new items and show you the sealed pack. If a pack looks opened or damaged, tell us before you pay.

• Can you recommend what else I need? Tell us your console, your storage space and your budget. We would rather recommend one good game than sell you several you will not finish.

Making the most of the atmosphere

This game is best played in a quiet room with the lights low, a good sound setup and no interruptions. If you share the console, tell the household that you are playing, because a sudden sound or a person walking into the room can make a tense moment worse. Do not play late at night if horror makes it hard for you to sleep.

If you use a headset, keep the volume at a comfortable level. The game plays on sudden loud sounds, and listening at very high volume for hours can harm your ears. Take breaks, drink water and look away from the screen now and then.

Who should skip horror games

Horror is a matter of taste, and there is no shame in avoiding it. If you do not enjoy tension, or if you have a household with young children who might wander in, it may be better to pick another game. Alien: Isolation is more than a jump-scare game, and the fear builds slowly, which some players find harder than a sudden shock.

If you are not sure, watch a short video of the first hour of gameplay before you decide, then call us if you still want it. We can also suggest calmer games from our list, such as Reus, or action games such as Sunset Overdrive.

The game rewards patience and attention, and it is one of the best examples of its genre. For the right player, it is a memorable experience.

Ordering from City Gadgets Kenya

Tell us your console and whether you want a disc or a digital copy, and we will confirm what is in stock. We can arrange same-day delivery in Nairobi for orders confirmed before 3pm, and M-Pesa is accepted.

If you would like to improve your sound for the game, ask our sales team about a gaming headset that works with your controller. A good headset is one of the best upgrades for a horror game.

Call or WhatsApp us on 0745 575 931, or visit the shop at New Alnoor Exhibition, Shop 7, Second Floor, Taveta Road, Nairobi CBD, if you would like to see the game pack first.

If you are buying for someone else, check their age and tell us about it. We would rather suggest a more suitable game than see a young player frightened by a game meant for adults.

What to expect from your first session

Your first session will probably be slow, and you may die more than once. That is normal. The game teaches you through failure, and every death shows you a little more about how the alien behaves. Give it a couple of hours before you decide whether it suits you. Many players who find the start hard end up loving the game once they settle into its rhythm. If the tension becomes too much, pause, step away and return when you are ready. It is a game meant to be savoured, not rushed.

If you are playing with a friend watching, agree who holds the controller and when to swap. Sharing a horror game is half the fun, and it makes the scary moments easier to bear.

Final buying notes

Before you order Alien: Isolation (Xbox One), take a minute to think about whether you enjoy slow, tense horror. If you are unsure, call or WhatsApp our sales team on 0745 575 931 with the model of your Xbox and what you like to play, and we will tell you honestly whether this game suits you.

We would rather lose a sale than sell you something that does not suit your setup. We let you inspect the pack, and we confirm any detail that is not published, such as the format and the edition, before you pay.

You can visit the shop at New Alnoor Exhibition, Shop 7, Second Floor, Taveta Road, Nairobi CBD, or we can arrange same-day delivery in Nairobi for orders confirmed before 3pm.

Playing Xbox games in a Kenyan home

Most Xbox owners in Kenya play on a console in a sitting room or bedroom, often shared by family members of different ages. A few practical habits make the experience better. Plug the console into a surge-protected extension, because Kenya's power can spike when it returns after an outage, and keep the console where air can flow around it, never in a closed cabinet. Dust is a constant, so wipe the console and controller with a dry cloth and keep discs in their cases.

Games take space. Many modern games are tens of gigabytes, and an older game can still receive large updates. If your console is almost full, delete finished games and keep only those you play. A game you delete can be installed again later, as long as you have the disc or the licence, and your saved progress is kept on the console or in the cloud when you are signed in to your Xbox account.

Which Xbox does this game play on?

Xbox games are made for particular generations of console, and it helps to know yours. The Xbox One family includes the original Xbox One, the Xbox One S and the Xbox One X. The Xbox Series family includes the Series X, which has a disc drive, and the Series S, which has no disc drive. Many Xbox One games also run on the Series consoles through backward compatibility, and some run better there. Games made for the Xbox 360 and the original Xbox are a separate matter, and only some of them run on newer consoles.

The most important practical point is the disc drive. A Series S cannot read discs at all, so a disc version of a game is useless on a Series S, and you would need a digital version instead. If you own a Series S, tell us before you buy. If you own a Series X, an Xbox One S or an original Xbox One, discs work, subject to the compatibility listed on this page.

We list each game for the platform named on its page. Whether the item in stock is a disc or a digital code, and which edition, is confirmed per unit, so ask us before you pay and we will tell you plainly.

Online play, updates and your Xbox account

Some features need an internet connection. Online multiplayer on Xbox normally needs an Xbox account and, for most online multiplayer games, an active Xbox online subscription. Updates and patches download over your home connection. In Kenya, a fixed home fibre or a stable router connection is better than mobile data for large downloads, and you should check your data bundle before you start a large update.

Keep your account details private. Never share your password with a seller or a stranger. We do not need your account password to sell you a game, and you should be cautious about anyone who asks for it.

Age ratings and family settings

Games carry age ratings, such as ESRB and PEGI ratings, which guide whether a game suits a child. A rating is a general guide and does not replace a parent's judgement. Xbox has family settings that let a parent set age limits for games, set screen-time limits and manage spending. If children play on your console, take ten minutes to set up a child account, and talk with them about online safety, including not sharing personal details and what to do if a stranger is rude.

How to check your game when it is delivered

1. Inspect the packaging for damage before you sign. A disc game should be in a clean case with an unscratched disc.
2. Check that the title, the platform logo and the edition match what we confirmed with you.
3. If it is a disc, look at the disc surface for scratches, and check that the case includes the disc and any inserts we confirmed.
4. If it is a digital code, check that the code arrives intact and has not been used, and redeem it on your own account as soon as you can.
5. Install the game on your console and play for a few minutes, so that any problem shows up while you can still tell us.
6. Contact our Customer Relations team on 0794 488 806 straight away if anything is wrong.

How to avoid fake or unsuitable games

Game discs and codes can be copied or sold in the wrong region. Watch for these signs.

• Check the packaging and the print. Blurry artwork, spelling mistakes, a missing platform logo or a missing rating label are warnings.
• Check the disc. A genuine disc has sharp printing and consistent markings. A hand-written or blank disc is not genuine.
• Check the region and language. Some versions may be locked to a region or lack a language you want, so ask us.
• Watch the price. A price far below the market for a recent game is a reason to ask why.
• Be wary of shared accounts. Be careful of any offer to share an account instead of selling you a game of your own, because accounts can be recovered by their owners and you may lose access.
• Buy from a seller with an address. Choose a seller who gives a receipt and explains the warranty, and avoid paying a stranger before you have seen the product.

Warranty and stock

Warranty and return terms for games depend on the format and the seller, and opened games and redeemed codes are generally not returnable unless they are faulty. We confirm the format, the platform and the exact terms in writing for the specific item before you pay, and Customer Relations on 0794 488 806 handles questions after purchase. Keep your receipt and the case.

Strengths and limits

• Faithful to the look of the original films
• A single-player game that works offline

What to keep in mind:

Who should buy the Alien: Isolation (Xbox One)

• Fans of the Alien films
• Players who enjoy stealth and horror

Compare before you buy

Compared with an action horror game. Action horror gives you strong weapons. Alien: Isolation takes them away, so it is scarier but less forgiving.

Compared with a stealth game. Many stealth games let you outsmart simple guards. Here the enemy learns, so the game stays tense.
