1. Alien: Isolation

(PS4, PS3, Xbox One, 360, Windows)

After the heavily panned Aliens: Colonial Marines, fans of the franchise didn’t expect much when Sega announced “Alien: Isolation” a couple years later. Yet, to the shock and awe of players, this survival horror title finally achieved what Colonial Marines failed to do: create a genuinely creepy survival experience set in the world of Alien. Thanks to the intelligence of the xenomorph A.I, nowhere feels safe in this game, perfect for the masochists in us. With the survival horror genre becoming a dying breed, “Isolation” gives hope that not only will the genre live on, but that the Alien franchise still has a lot to offer its followers.
