Alien: Isolation is a survival horror game created by Creative Assembly. It is a spin off of the main Alien Franchise centering around Ellen Ripley's daughter Amanda Ripley.

Alien: Isolation's atmosphere and immersion is truly something that I have never experienced before. This game truly immerses you into the experience of being a space engineer. I've never played a game that recreates a world I've already experienced in uninteractive medium in an interactive one. That's pretty much the reason I chose to write about this game.

I am open to discussion in the comments! (polite discussion :D )
