Just in case you're wondering what game you want to play next week, Epic Games has you covered as they are giving away Alien Isolation on PC via the Epic Games Store digital distribution platform.
Unlike before, Epic Games Store is giving away Alien Isolation on PC for a longer period of time. Instead of the one-day run that the game had as a free title during the holiday season in 2020, players will have a week to redeem Alien Isolation on PC for free starting on April 22. Scare Yourself Out of Your Wits With Alien Isolation Alien: Isolation is the perfect example of how to use sound and environmental design to set the perfect stage for how to scare the brains out of even the bravest of gamers.
Alien Isolation on PC is yours to keep and download free as long as you have an Epic Games Store account, which is also free to create, by the way. You'll have until April 29 to get your hands on Creative Assembly's 2014 survival horror title free of charge.
Alien Isolation is widely considered one of the best games to release in the 2010s. It's arguably the best Aliens-licensed game ever to release. Many praised the game for its level designs, as well as clever use of sound and visuals.
This all culminated in a haunting atmosphere in which players can't help but feel scared out of their wits. However, many criticized the game for its challenge and difficulty, although you could argue that this choice was for the better. The enemy alien AI really helped set the tone for the rest of the game.
All in all, many simply appreciated Alien: Isolation for giving fans a good Aliens game after Gearbox Software failed miserably with Aliens: Colonial Marines just a year before.
