I have been very slowly playing this at night over the past few months and I think it's a masterpiece, right up there with my favorite horror games. It brilliantly translates the aesthetic of Alien to this medium and leans heavily on the themes of corporate exploitation and cold capitalism. It's quite similar to the film Alien, but playing through it yourself provides that extra layer of fear and immersion. Alien: Isolation is a great argument for why the games medium is so good.
