The gameplay of Giger's Alien is characterized by a blend of stealth mechanics and action elements, though it suffers from clunky controls and frustrating respawn mechanics that detract from the experience. While the initial stages focus heavily on stealth and evasion, players eventually gain more powerful abilities that enhance gameplay, making it more engaging as they progress. Despite some bugs and a lack of depth in certain mechanics, the evolution system and skill-based gameplay provide a satisfying experience for those who enjoy stealth-action games.
- “Although somewhat buggy, overall this was an enjoyable and addictive stealth/action game with some nice skill-based mechanics.”
- “You can really feel a change in gameplay when you evolve, and I loved the last evolution the most, a real powerhouse compared to the initial larva.”
- “Relatively simple stealth gameplay, the evolution as you go is really interesting and makes the game continue to be spiced up as you go.”
- “From the writing and the plot to the implementation of game mechanics and graphics, it leaves a lot to be desired.”
- “I'd just recommend not sticking around to kill everyone as this game's biggest problem is that every enemy and elixir respawns when you die, leading to really annoying or frustrating gameplay.”
- “For the mechanic of hitting explosive barrels with your spit, the hitbox for the barrel is quite hard to read to the point where it's pretty much just luck.”

The graphics in the game are generally considered satisfactory but lack the impressive quality expected in modern titles, with some reviewers noting a retro-futuristic aesthetic that they enjoyed. However, performance issues and a lack of adjustable settings have led to frustration, as the visuals do not compensate for the overall gameplay experience, which many feel is lacking. Overall, while the graphics are passable, they do not elevate the game to a top-tier level.
- “The visuals are fantastic, with an alien franchise-like super retro-futuristic vibe. Love it.”
- “Graphics: satisfactory, if unimpressive and basic.”
- “And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics.”
- “The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better.”
- “From the writing and the plot to the implementation of game mechanics and graphics, it leaves a lot to be desired.”
- “I didn't think a game like this would be so graphics-intensive that it becomes unplayable.”
