"In space, you can really hear yourself scream.
A good Alien game is hard to come by. Most decide to focus on James Cameron’s entry into the franchise with Aliens, largely because it’s got US Marines in, has big guns, lots of xenomorphs, and is just packed full of action. Perfect for a video game right? Wrong. Colonial Marines is just one recent example of a bungled opportunity, but there are plenty more out there.
So, when faced with the reality that The Creative Assembly – best known for the Total War series of games and Viking: Battle for Asgard – were working on a new game within the Alien universe, a little bit of trepidation set in. However, that needn't be the case at all." - Words by Vaughn.H
An opinion piece on the best Alien games. From arcade Alien vs Predator action to a terrifying Xenomorph stalker, these are the best Alien video games starring Ridley Scott’s chestbursting, acid-blooded nightmare.
My favorite Aliens game also, having the three campaigns to play was great. Scaling walls as an alien waiting to ambush anyone that came too close.
Only played a little of the horde mode but was still fun.
Aliens Fireteam Elite was my GotY in 2021, single player was kinda bad but playing that game 3 player with friends was so good and really challenging on higher difficulties
Massive shout out to Aliens Vs predator 2 (2001), a dialup lag filled fun mess in multiplayer and 3 great campaigns
Alien Isolation Grand Mother VR is an all new virtual reality experience for Creative Assembly’s best ever horror 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.
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!
The Alien franchise has had a long history in video games, but few games have come quite as close to being perfect as Alien: Isolation.
Survival horror is making its AAA return. Provided this doesn't end up as messy as Aliens Colonial Marines.
