Alien: Isolation vs Serious Sam 3: BFE
Alien: Isolation
Alien: Isolation is a horror-survival adventure game that is set in the terrifying Alien universe fifteen years after the last events in the Alien movie. In this game, you'll play as Amanda, the daughter of the missing Ellen Ripley, who is driven by a need to know the truth behind Ellen's disappearance, embarks on an ill-prepared trip to a remote trading station Sevastopol. However, once your crew arrived, you immediately sensed that something's wrong. In a race against time, you'll need to scavenge resources and improvise along the way while knowing that your every move is being stalked by an Alien predator... and that your time here is becoming shorter every passing second.Alien: Isolation is possibly one of the most horrifying, story-driven game on Steam and that will most certainly knock your socks off when it comes to the fear department. If you're looking for a game that will give you a good solid scare, this is a game you can buy!
Serious Sam 3: BFE
Serious Sam 3: BFE is a first-person, action shooter that offers an explosive, bullet-hell-like gameplay on top of an already pretty frantic, arcade-styled shooting action. Kiting the enemies around is a skill you'll need in this game since it doesn't have the sophisticated systems that modern tactical shooters have, like cover or duck and roll. There are plenty of weapons, including a nice selection of melee weapons, for you to carry out your massacre with and you can easily switch between them whenever you like! Not to mention, the game has several new enemy types, including the massive Khnum as well as the massive AND hideous Scrapjack, in addition to the usual ones.Serious Sam 3 also has several game modes, including co-op multiplayer, versus multiplayer along with survival single and multiplayer. If you have your friends around your place, you can even play the game in split-screen mode and yell your heads off together when a monster caught both of you off guard. Best yet, creative players and modders are even given a level editor to play with. New mods or levels created can also be shared to the game community via Steam Workshop.
When it comes to crazy, almost non-stop action, Serious Sam is among the best game franchises to play. Serious Sam 3: BFE is their latest game and thus, it does look a lot better than any of their previous games, but you can still expect the same old (equally exciting) gameplay you've come to love.
