CA has finally nailed the true horror of Alien in video game form. It's only taken 35 years.

The game’s ability to capture a strong dose of the original Alien film’s atmosphere helps create a wonderfully immersive experience. As long as you understand that this is a survival game where brute force will simply lead to a quick death, it’s highly recommended.

For fans of the Alien series, the films, books, comics, and every other form of entertainment imaginable, Alien: Isolation is simply a must-play, given that it fits so well into the storyline that it nearly seems to be a chapter in it's own right. Brushing up on your Alien, Aliens, 3, Resurrection and - of course - Prometheus might not be a bad idea for those unacquainted, yet the game provides enough backstory to stand up as a suspenseful survival experience on its own. Really, what’s scarier than a half tonne perfect killing machine around…this corner? No, maybe it was over...shhhhh…it's rig...
