Alien: Isolation vs Dead Space
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!
Dead Space
Dead Space may not supposed to be much of a horror game at first (it was touted as a thriller mainly), but it certainly ended up that way. Featuring a third-person shooter gameplay, the game casts you in the role of Isaac Clarke, an engineer in a massive spaceship stranded in space that's falling apart at the seams. That's not all, the ship is filled with hideous Necromorph monsters - alien-infected crew members - that just love to jump out at you at the most unconvenient moments, startling you at every chance it gets from seemingly every vent, collapsed ceiling, cracked floor etc... well, literally the full 360-degrees. The game can be a tad bit linear but that is exactly what enabled the developers to control almost every aspect of the game from start to finish even with you in it, giving you scares that will make you jump in your seat... and sometimes out of it.Dead Space made its name as one of the most thrilling shooter game that guarantees to slowly but surely drag you into its incredibly immerse and terrifying world. If you love a game that has both action and a generous dose of scariness, Dead Space is the game you'll want to play.
