Outstaying your welcome: Alien Isolation

I hated playing The Evil Within. I quit after two or three passes with the first encounter and its unfriendly checkpoints.  It felt tired and forced, and held back vital mechanics from the player in favor of cheap scares.  It annoyed me and did not value my time.
I reminded myself of this the 10th time I tried to make it through the medical section in Alien:Isolation.
