Alien Isolation has been earning solidly positive reviews, marking it out as a rare game based on the Alien franchise that actually managed to replicate the soul-crushing dread of the original Ridley Scott film. Two DLCs are already out for the game, both of which allow players to assume the role of Ellen Ripley during missions based on the first movie, and while that's all well and good, what players really want is a DLC to play as the Xenomorph itself. While it's fair to say that playing as the alien against a hapless gang of spongy, meaty targets is going to completely drain the game of any tension whatsoever, and it wouldn't make much sense to have the Xeno fighting Ripley, it would nevertheless be super-cool to once again play as the creepy antagonist, crawling along walls and stalking around the ship. This is exactly the sort of mode that DLC was made for: it won't outstay its welcome and, even if it's a failure, people won't be too upset by it. How Likely Is It?: 4/10
