Alien: Isolation

So far one of the most uncomfortable video games I have played, because of the atmosphere, the sounds and even the lights make the enviorment scary.

I can say with full confidence that this is one of the best horror/thriller games of all time. It's unfair, wants you to take risks, and built to be against you at all times. It's a treat for horror fans who wants to feel uncomfortable and helpless. It's not one of those horror games where, when you master the game you become the threat. Alien: Isolation makes you feel like the prey at all times. My favorite part of the game was the Xenomorph's Nest. The atmosphere had me on my seat's edge. Didn't feel that threatened by a game, EVER. Amazing horror game! Would die because li'l Xeno decided to check the same room I was hiding in for a fifth time again!

any survival horror fan must try this!

A good legacy to the original movies, the game is atmospheric with a good storyline, plus plenty of tension and jump scares! Only four stars due to reprtition in quests and story drags a bit near the end.

This is a stealth, suspense, horror game first and foremost, with some minor puzzles to solve for progression. The game places you in a space station around a gas giant, and the game mechanics force you to sneak around whether it's to avoid other inhabitants with weapons, killer androids or of course the Alien itself. The game is very well done graphically, with appropriate lighting that really captures the dark feelings of the original movie. It also has that same 'lo-fi' tech feel with the amusingly 70's tech terminals etc. I've carried out almost no combat, and instead have played stealth, but enjoyed the progress. One tip is that the save points can be sparse, so it's worth returning to a save point after completing some tasks to re-save, or you can find yourself having to redo a lot, and with the Alien it's very unpredictable were it will be at any given time. If you like horror, sci-fi and stealth games, this is definitely recommended. It's not as good as Prey, but a definite 4/5.
