Why Alien Isolation is one of the greatest PC games, and you should play it now
It's been ten years, but Alien Isolation 2 is actually in development. If you've played the original, this is the announcement you've both been waiting for and never thought would arrive - it's not quite up there, but after a decade, Alien Isolation 2 was at risk of gaining the same mythical status as Half-Life 3. If you haven't played the first Alien Isolation, however, today, right now, is the perfect time. On the surface it might seem similar to Amnesia, Outlast, and other run-and-hide horrors. In fact, it's something much more subtle and sophisticated, a unique balance of power and powerlessness that's unlike anything else on PC. Available now for very cheap, there's one thing that makes Alien Isolation superior to its horror game peers.
