Alien: Isolation

 
One of the greatest horror games ever made is less than $10 right nowApr 25, 2024 - PCGamesNA decade ago, in 2014, Creative Assembly put out one of the best horror games ever made. Though the studio is known largely for its work on strategy games like the historical Total War: Pharaoh and Total War: Three Kingdoms alongside the fantasy themed Total War: Warhammer 3, its first stab at a first person horror game, Alien: Isolation, ended up as a landmark for the genre. Now, anyone who's eager to have their nerves shredded in a game of cat and mouse with a bloodthirsty xenomorph is in luck as Alien: Isolation has just received a steep discount on Steam.

All you need for the best Alien game ever is a massive atmospheric space station, a few humans and androids, and one very deadly Alien hunting you from start-to-finish. With all that said, after the first movie the problem of a sequel came up and, as urban legend has it, James Cameron's solution was to go to the ideas board and simply add an "s" to "Alien"...

It's striking but understated, leaving plenty of room between the lavish violence to build tension and develop not just Naru, played by the superb Amber Midthunder, but her alien adversary as well. And now that we've finally got another great Predator movie, wouldn't it be nice if we got a game to match?..

Yes, Sega has finally joined the storefront, and it's brought with it an Alien Isolation GOG release - with more to come. The next big GOG sale has launched and runs from June 6 all the way to June 27, with the usual selection of great deals. GOG also confirms that there will be at least five separate game giveaways during the Summer Sale. You can pick up the classic horror adventure game Sanitarium right now to keep for free, as long as you grab it within 48 hours, and Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate is also free - and seemingly separate from the announced five. Perhaps the bigger news is that Sega is finally joining GOG.com. The Alien Isolation collection is its initial offering, which consists of the ultimate Alien game and all seven (!) DLC packs. It launches as part of the sale for 75% off, so it's a good deal if you haven't sampled the delights of having the locker you were hiding in ripped open and your face chewed off by a toothy space phallus yet.

This wasn’t some non-canon spin-off, but a legitimate part of the Alien series. And the result is one of the best horror games, and one the most faithful film adaptations, ever made...

Alien: Isolation originally released back in 2014, offering up a delectable slice of claustrophobic first-person horror that follows Amanda Ripley's attempts to track down her considerably more famous mum, Ellen - portrayed by Sigourney Weaver in the movies. Soon enough, that journey takes Amanda aboard the starship Sevastopol where, would you believe it, a deadly Xenomorph is on the prowl.

Alien: Isolation burst out of Creative Assembly's chest yesterday, splattering previews all over the internet and making us spill our collective cereal - here is my Alien: Isolation preview, in case you're interested in finding out more. The game plays, in the parts we've been shown at least, like Amnesia in space, with only a solitary, highly intelligent and free-roaming xenomorph forming the game's horror centrepiece. Gary Napper, lead designer at Creative Assembly, and Jude Bond, lead artist, spoke to me about how to create a truly terrifying artificial intelligence, what they thought of recent games in the franchise and how Alien: Isolation hopes to sustain a level of tension from start to finish that doesn't result in heart-stopping fatalities. Come have a look at the words we said to one another. Read the rest of the story...

If Creative Assembly is working on an Alien: Isolation 2 it's being as quiet as Newt in an air duct about it. We were hoping that a sequel would be announced not too long ago but our dreams were dashed with the announcement of Alien: Blackout. Sure, it followed Amanda Ripley in a new storyline but, sigh, only on mobile. Still, that doesn't mean Alien: Isolation 2 is completely off the cards. Alien: Blackout was actually a good sign as it shows there's plenty of interest in creating more Alien games. Let's just hope it doesn't lead to another Colonial Marines. Wouldn't it be great if Alien: Isolation 2 on PC was being made? The first game was highly praised and popular so there's precedent for such a sequel. Perhaps we'd get more of the same tight survival horror gameplay, with a xenomorph hunting you down around a space station - it worked once, at least. But there's also the chance to go in a slightly different direction so as to surprise us all, like a gherkin-headed monster springing from a vent. Read the rest of the story...

The 15 days of free PC games continues apace with today's offering, which is Alien: Isolation. You've got 24 hours to grab your copy. Let's dispense with the usual throat clearing here: Alien: Isolation is far and away the best Alien experience you can find in games. Even with a few frustrating gameplay elements (hello, rubber-banding xenomorph) and a third act that overstays its welcome, the experience of being alone and hunted as Amanda Ripley in the Sevastopol space station is truly frightening. Developer Creative Assembly put a lot of thought and care into recreating the retro-future environments you'll encounter on the Sevastopol, down to the padded bulkheads and light-diffusing steam. It's on our lists for both the best horror games and best stealth games, as you'll have to sneak around quietly while the intelligent alien AI searches for any sign of your presence, and will rush to your position if you make a racket. That's when the horror bit kicks in, since failure means finding out what it looks like in first person to have your head cored like an apple by that vicious little set of secondary jaws.
