8 Best Movie Licensed Video Games Of All Time

8. Alien Isolation (Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC)

Alien: Isolation isn’t a movie tie-in in the strictest sense, as it didn’t actually accompany any movie release, but it is still an excellent game which reproduces very faithfully the thrills and scares present in Ridley Scott’s 1979 horror classic Alien.

The triumphant follow-up to Aliens: Colonial marines, a game which may go down as Gearbox Software’s greatest failure, Isolation takes what made the original trilogy great and amplifies it.

Series fans have long marveled at the horror of deep space and the dread associated with being locked in a confined environment with an unknown hostile being. This concept is at the very core of Sega’s 2014 digital masterpiece. In fact, one segment of the DLC is a scene-for-scene re-enactment of the final act of the original movie.

Many segments of the game feature little more than the player, an escape route, and a horrific Xenomorph standing in the way. Without any truly lethal means of defense, players must keep their wits about them in this tense, wonderfully creepy survival horror experience.
