Started playing Alien: Isolation today. I haven't gotten too far into it yet, especially since it's pretty slow paced, but so far I'm having a lot of fun with it. I love the sense of paranoia I started to get when the alien first arrived in the game. It's not exactly scary or anything, even in the sense of "jump scares" (to me anyway), but it's definitely gotten me constantly worried about the alien popping up from a vent and killing me instantly. My favorite part about it is probably the fact that the alien pretty much does what it wants when it enters into an area. I can't seem to figure out any sort of pattern that it follows while moving around. The fact that the save stations in the game aren't in some safe zone, like Resident Evil, makes things a lot more panicky too.
Also it looks amazing. The lighting especially.
