Alien Isolation. The best horror game I've played in years.
10 years ago
So what's your favorite horror game? Me? I found it.
Hey how's it going guys? Today I wanna say few words about Alien Isolation, I just played it over two days ago, bought it really cheap on Xbox Market, like $30 dollars maybe. This game was released in October 2014 by SEGA & 20th Century Fox, like almost year and half ago I guess. Let me leave few links if you interested:

It's not that bad if you realize yourself you're an updated person and just wanna get anything new, well you must consider this first:
I assure you is nothing compared with Alien Colonial Marines, have you heard of it? Do not compare that shitty game, James Cameron would even pissed at that, they messed up with everything! However, Creativity Assembly wants us forget that joke and laughs into a serious game you will tremble with fear, you won't regret buying it anyway.
If you're a good fan or just looking for a survivor horror game such as Outlast, Silent Hill or Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (I specially put this reference because you're being harassed the entire campaign). Just imagine a game where everything is a trap, noises will make you jump and hide most of the time and.. woops you can't kill the boss xD Well.. this is a good choice to start with, I truly recommend it :)
I'm not gonna lie, I played it yesterday too haha nice way to enjoy my xmas, right? Anyway xD Back to the game! The Xenomorph, is an H.R. Giger's creation and this fucker is always stalking. Every breath you take, every move you make and every step you take, she's be watching you! As if that were not enough, the music is the worse D: Have you seen Jaws The Movie? It's like the goddamn symphony were around you when she gets closer (or something else.. o.o). Besides in case of lightning areas where lights are on & off be careful use your logic, watch where you're going and use the flashlight and radar wisely :3 About the tricky part..huh..well the tricky part is, you got two options, run and hide or sneak and fight xD the problem is, you can't beat the Alien but you can scare her away and that if there's fire only. Undoubtedly is a very psychological game.
P.S. The game is fucking hard so don't expect to be in the same place for an hour till that thing is gone haha you need to be moving but that's up to you ;)
In summary, I'd rate this game with an 85/100.
Why? Honestly, the game is kind slow, Ripley is a turtle! She reacts when she's already lying on the floor in front of the Alien, also some parts of the story are repetitive and Alien Isolation only got two modes; campaign and survivor, there is no multiplayer but that's all.
On the other hand: Gameplay is good, has easy controllers, in case of level difficulty well.. let's see if you can handle the Hard Mode they say is insane but others say Madness Mode is Nightmare! It's like playing Dark Souls without weapons, about the graphics well if you have an Xbox One or PS4 looks much better but still the environments, just like the first movie but you have a 1979 old fashion trend in the future. I've saved the best for last, if you really play it, music and actor voices were the best, you'll say I was right!
Anyway, I don't wanna sound like a ballsucker hahah but this is the alien game I've always wanted, they've have nailed it a great masterpiece just like Ridley Scott wanted. One of the best survival horror game ever.
What's yours?

But will try... One day :P
Of course i won't be alone... I'm not good keeping calm with the horror games
People have no patience for this game. XC
I'd like them to make a sort of MMO of the game, where lots of characters can be going round the same large location, hiding from the alien and looking for resources. Then you could choose to team up with someone, or throw a noisemaker at them and loot their corpse after Mr. Alien has been munching on them. XD
And didn't give two shits if the Aliens game didn't make much
