Forbes: Alien: Isolation exists as both a video game based on the iconic Alien universe, and official canon taking place between Ridley Scotts 1979 classic and James Camerons 1986 sequel. Alien and Aliens are tonally different films, and Alien: Isolation does a fantastic job of capturing the atmosphere of the original film. This is survival horror at its finest its as much about surviving an ever-present, palpable tension as it is surviving an overpowering enemy. Sometimes its about surviving your own potentially terrible instincts.
