Lately it seems as if multiple games have been announced or released as licensed adaptations inspired by Alien and Aliens. There’s a subtle yet important distinction between those two movies, being that the former translates well as a claustrophobic and helpless survival horror tale while the latter is more of an epic action movie. Recent games like Aliens: Fireteam Elite and Aliens: Dark Descent are obviously heavily inspired by the latter, and meanwhile it’s been a long and deflating wait for anything remotely close to what the former has delivered in terms of inspiration, such as Creative Assembly and Sega’s Alien: Isolation.
