"The Alien series has had a lot of games. The vast majority of them take massive cues from the second film, Aliens, even if they were allegedly based on Alien 3 or Resurrection or something else. It’s obvious why: console games have historically bent more toward action-oriented genres, at least in the Western hemisphere, and the movie where everyone was given big guns and plenty of targets to shoot could be adapted the easiest.
The only Alien games that attempted basing themselves around the original 1979 film were early PC titles that played out as strategy games on an overhead map of the Nostromo. While they were faithful, they didn’t exactly put you into the action.
Then, exactly ten years ago today, came Alien: Isolation, published by Sega and developed by Creative Assembly. It put you in the same retrofuturistic type of spaceship that the original space truckers roamed, gave you limited resources, and pitted you against one hungry Xenomorph with scarily complex AI that would learn from your decisions. Ever since its release, it’s been hailed as the greatest Alien game ever created."
