Why Alien Isolation is Still the Best Sequel to Alien

After the release of the cult classic Alien in 1979, there's only been one authentic sequel that truly captures the atmosphere and the horror worthy of the xenomorph: Alien Isolation.

Nice piece, and i do love Alien Isolation, it scares the pants off me at times.

Kirstyjg2787d ago

Thanks! The only way to play it is with headphones and in the dark for the optimal heart attack experience

Alien Isolation, is a far better and more faithful expansion of the alien universe, than either Prometheus or Alien: Covenant.

Nitrowolf22788d ago

Agreed. Alien, Aliens, and isolation are superb.

Everything else after.....

Sciurus_vulgaris2787d ago

I personally find Aliens 4, Prometheus and Covenant to be incredibly dumb. Prometheus and Covenant don’t even look like Aliens films, the low sci-fi look and distinct artystyle of Giger were “thrown out” . Isolation was faithful to the look and feel of Alien to a tee.

Kirstyjg2787d ago

I actually liked Covenant, but purely for the scene with Michael Fassbender teaching himself how to play the flute..

Alien Isolation is a brilliant game that plays with feeling of solitude very well. However unlikely a sequel to Isolation is, it's one of the best horror games this gen.

Kirstyjg2787d ago

Although Alien Isolation is probably one of my favourite games I'm not sure I'd want a sequel. I wouldn't want what happened to the Alien films to happen to the game

I played through most of the PS4 version of the game but stopped because another game came out. I bought it last year for PC with the intention of using the VR mod but haven't gotten around to setting it up. I am glad I waited.

Great game, even better in VR. A little drawn out by the end, but I hope we see CA do something a little different with the sequel.

OtterX21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Sweet. I also rebought this game on Steam for the purpose of VR. I'll have to give it another shot w full immersive controls. I had only tried it out briefly before.

It's funny this was never officially released at retail as a VR game, bc it feels so perfect for it!
