6. Alien: Isolation

If this ever happens, you're as good as dead

Stalking nightmare

You are trapped in a sprawling, mechanical labyrinth. No friends, no weapons – just your wits, and the cold enveloping shadows.

But you aren’t alone. And in space, no one can hear you scream.

Alien: Isolation is as Alien as an Alien game can get, featuring visual and sound design directly inspired by the movies. Playing as the daughter of Ellen Ripley, you’re lost in the derelict space station, Sevastopol. Hot on your heels is the iconic Xenomorph – an unstoppable force of nature that knows nothing but to butcher all that crosses its path.

Isolation is survival horror in the truest sense of the word. The Xenomorph is a relentless hunter who will appear when you least expect it, and gets smarter as the game progresses. You’ve got limited items to help you, such as the motion tracker and a mostly useless gun. The best you can do is hide, and hope the beast hasn’t picked up on your proclivity for concealing yourself in closets...

Definitely one of the best scary games to play in 2015.
