Alien: Isolation is a 2014 survival horror game developed by Creative Assembly and published by Sega for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Windows, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. Based on the Alien film series, the game is set 15 years after the original 1979 film, and follows the engineer Amanda Ripley, voiced by Andrea Deck. Amanda investigates the disappearance of her mother, Ellen Ripley, aboard the space station Sevastopol, which is in disarray due to years of corporate negligence and the threat of a rampant alien creature. The game emphasizes stealth and survival horror gameplay, requiring the player to avoid, outsmart, and fight various enemies with equipment such as firearms, a motion tracker, stun baton, and a flamethrower.
Runs well on modern hardware.

I've never been so happy or relieved to see the credits roll on a game in my life. Not because it's a bad game, far from it.. it's a masterpiece. It's because Alien Isolation is the most suffocating and terrifying game I've ever played. Has a bit of a slow start but once the tension starts it just never stops and very rarely gives you time to breathe. I feel like I've aged a decade during the time I've spent with Alien Isolation. Graphics, atmosphere, audio all top notch 10/10
A masterpiece. A love letter to the first Alien film. One of the greatest Alien games ever made. One of the greatest horror games of my time. IGNorant giving this a 5.9 is a crime against gaming.
If you’re a fan of the Alien film franchise, survival horror, or games like Dead Space, then this game is for you.
