Alien: Isolation is a widely praised horror game and arguably one of the best titles based on the Alien franchise. However, the game has been criticised for its length, and if you’re wondering how far you are into the game or simply how long you have left, it may be a good idea to see how many missions are in Alien: Isolation and what they involve with our guide below. Please note, there will be spoilers in this guide.
Alien: Isolation Mission List
There are a total of eighteen missions in Alien: Isolation, all of which vary in length and difficulty. Many players find the beginning of the game somewhat easier, encounter a difficulty spike when first facing the Xenomorph, and then encounter another difficulty spike just before the game’s halfway point, although it’s usually smooth sailing towards the end of the game.

How long is Alien: Isolation?
The main campaign of Alien: Isolation takes around 19 hours to complete, depending on the difficulty and your struggle against some of the game’s obstacles and enemies.
Is Alien: Isolation difficult?
Alien: Isolation can be difficult, as the game’s objective is to avoid enemies, rather than facing them, and you have little to no tools in defending yourself, usually meaning instance death. Thankfully, there are several difficulty options, allowing you to customise the game to however challenging you want.
Are there any Alien: Isolation missions without aliens?
*SPOILERS* Yes! The first, eighth, ninth, eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth missions do not have any aliens. The other missions either have a fully active alien or an alien that crawls around the airvents and can attack.
