I'm having a hard time deciding between this or the evil within first. Both seem like good horror games.

1nsomniac4239d ago (Edited 4239d ago )

I had the exact same thing but with Alien, Evil Within & Shadow of Mordor.

Alien is far & above the best out of all 3 of them. You do need to know going into it that Alien is a game about hiding not fighting though.

Alien is actually scary, more so because of how tense it gets. Evil Within isn't scary at all unless you're into American 'teen horror' movies (It's really cheesy)

I thought Evil Within was the worst of the 3 initially but after spending 9 hours with Evil Within & 6 hours with Shadow of Mordor I actually think Evil Within could actually be slightly better but to be honest that's not exactly saying much is neither are great IMO.

Yea evil within ISNT really doing it for me. I loved alien and am slaughtering my way through mordor

Agent20094239d ago

The last good horror game was Silent Hill 3.

Alien buddy,just rent evil within its not that great imo,but loads will disagree of course.

But yeah alien is wicked,lots of back tracking and lever pulling but its a space station not a open world,but everything inbetween is awesome,&the random ai never gets boring.

I've been trying really hard to hold out on buying a game this month as November is so crazy. I cant do it anymore. Should I get Alien, or Shadow of Mordor?

This is really shaping up to be the best alien game ever.

I'm over half through Alien Isolation and the game is simply amazing! While not perfect it's the best game I've played so far on the PS4.

Bought SOM at the same time and Alien is the much better game. SOM is a good title though.

Wolfenstein514239d ago

Shadow of Mordor > Alien isolation > The Evil Within - Funny because all 3 are stealth games. I have played all 3. Honorable mention goes out to Styx (another stealth game that is much, much better than it has any right to be). SOM is great because it combines stealth with action perfectly - very deep game. Alien is good because it truly has scared the crap out of me numerous times and is very tense (Alien is very much about sneaking around about 90% of the time). The Evil Within is good if you miss the days of Resident Evil and the game looks fantastic. I say buy all 3 (and if you can pick up Styx sometime - great game at half the price!)

The Best Alien Games (To Play After Watching Alien: Earth)

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.

FTLmaster290d ago

Got a soft spot for AvP (2010) but solid list nonetheless.

Abnor_Mal290d ago

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.

Nittdarko289d ago

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

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.

Neonridr367d ago

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.

OtterX367d ago (Edited 367d ago )

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!
