I have this game wishlisted but I'm a little worried about the difficulty curve or just... difficulty in general? Is this game punishing or is it like most stealth games? I can handle most stealth games.

It's pretty much as I said in the review, where the Alien can kill you instantly if it spots and charges for you. Early on, you outright have to avoid the Alien or toss something loud, in a completely different direction, to guide the Alien away. It's only a little later on where you start getting items that will "shoo" the creature while in a face-to-face confrontation. There also have been instances late in the game where the Alien actually crawled in wall vents after me. HOWEVER, I have seen other playthroughs where the same happened very early. Dunno if it was because they were making too much noise or a different difficulty setting?

I should also mention I originally started my playthrough on the difficulty above normal, but switched it back to normal when the armed humans were being too annoying.

I'll wait for another sale and play on the easiest mode possible.
