Alien: Isolation

Halloween is all about scares and getting chills down your spine. If you have ever gotten the feeling that someone is watching you, you know that feeling can make you very uneasy. When you play Alien: Isolation, you get that feeling 99% of the entire time you are playing this game. If you have heard of the Alien film franchise then you will be familiar with Alien: Isolation. This video game that was released in 2014 is a video game based on the Alien film franchise.

The main goal of Alien: Isolation is that you are being stalked by the alien Xenomorph and your goal is to not get eaten alive and attacked by him. You can hide in vents, the darkness, and even lockers, but make too much noise and the alien will know exactly where your whereabouts are located. You are never given anything throughout the game that can kill the alien, but instead stun it so that you can have a little extra time to try and escape this dreaded creature. The cool thing about this game is that you can’t just run around recklessly. You have to be very strategic in how you are going to outplay the Xenomorph otherwise it will hear your footsteps and you are on the menu for dinner.

Something else that makes this game more on the scary side is that the soundtrack for the video game. Music can make or break a video game and the fact that this game has some pretty bone-chilling music sets the stage perfectly as a horror video game should be. Your flashlight is going to be your best friend in Alien: Isolation, so you better make sure you have enough batteries to keep it lit.

Trending. Call of Duty: Warzone’s Haunting of Verdansk hopefully sets a trend. light
