20 Most Critically Adored Horror Video Games Of All Time
4. Alien Isolation
Rating: 81
For some reason, games based on the Aliens license tend to be really hit and miss. Alien Isolation, thankfully, is a massive hit as it gets the fundamentals right - every encounter with the Alien is absolutely terrifying.
A stealth-horror game, Alien Isolation is all about the fleeting encounters with the Alien, or to be more precise, avoiding the fleeting encounters with the Alien. Staying hidden and out of sight when a giant Xenomorph comes stomping through is guaranteed to have the player holding their breath in fear.
It's a long, drawn out experience but these moments with the Alien define Alien Isolation as the game the film series has always deserved.
