I do not know the AI in Alien: Isolation but what I know is that Thomas said multiple times that they deliberately keep the AI of enemies very simple and instead rely on the imagination of the player. They make encounters very short and have several different enemies each with a unique system behind it so that the player cannot easily spot the underlying mechanic.

Is Frictional Games going to do something with SOMA's monsters to try to compete with Creative Assembly's Xenomorph AI?
Gonna add my own mustard here:
In my opinion it wouldn't hurt if the AI could make the monster walk around immovable objects instead of hoping to phase through them.
Except this has been already fixed in AAMFP, then I stand corrected.

That's great news, all the other times we had to wait half a year or more to get the video version.
Thomas is an idol of game design. There are quite a lot of good games out there, but Penumbra and Amnesia are definitely masterpieces in history.
Masterpieces in history are also the following ones in the genres RPG, Adventure, and Racing:
- Gothic (2001)
- Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine (1999)
- Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed (2000)
No modern game is better. Frictional Games is one of the rare developers of the "modern times" whose goal is to maintain those ultimative design qualities.

Gothic is the most bugged and unfinished game I have ever played. How is that a masterpiece?
I hope SOMA comes out in the summer or christmas period.
