Alien: Isolation is the scariest horror game ever made, and it both surprises and baffles me how, since it launched way back in 2014, nothing has come close. Creative Assembly set a new standard for the genre, but it seems it was too high a standard. No developer, no matter how talented, has managed to match it in terms of pure, nerve-shredding terror—and I don't think anyone ever will. Isolation increasingly feels like a true one-off. A singular, special moment in video games that will never truly be replicated. But why does it work so well?
If you've got an Alien itch you can't quite scratch until Alien: Rolumus releases, GameSpew has rounded up the best Alien games to tide you over.
Fans (myself included) are clamouring for a direct sequel to this fantastic game and hope for an Alien: Isolation 2. But will this great game ever get another instalment?
tbh it doesn’t need a sequel. Fantastic game but not something to make into a long running series.
Also included are Alien: Isolation, Dead Island Definitive Edition, Outlast 2, and more.
Good month imo. I'll play Gotham Knights and House of Ashes. I'm finishing up Disco E on Steam right now - that's a superb game.
It's such a travesty that we don't have Alien Isolation 2.
Alien Isolation is a great game, but it's not the end all be all since its release. We've had many great horror games come out since.
Critics did not like this one, either. I bought Callisto Protocol today. 👌
Agreed.
Yep, the best horror game I've ever played. I can't think of a close 2nd. Dead Space I guess, but that's a very different experience.
