Matt at Codec Moments writes: "Games based on, or around, massive franchises rarely succeed. They’re not necessarily bad games, they just don’t always live up to fan expectations. Since the woeful yet strangely compelling Colonial Marines, fans of the original Xenomorph have cringed at any mention of a new digital foray into that universe. Now it seems Creative Assembly have done the impossible – produced an Alien game without years of previews,hype and failed promises. It’s the game we’ve been waiting for, but is Alien Isolation the game we expected?"
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.
This game has been an incredible experience for me. The gameplay is fresh and the game just drips with atmosphere. It's also simply one of the best looking games I have played. The only things that are not up to that level of quality are the cutscenes, which don't run as well.
