First, the disfigured nightmare monsters are very dangerous, so messing up usually equates to your death. Great feeling of suspense As you explore the nightmarish world of The Evil Within 2, you'll almost never feel safe due to a variety of reasons. While Creative Assembly recommends playing on the hard mode, the true way to experience Alien: Isolation is on the nightmare difficulty setting. The AI isn't perfect by any means, but it is one of the best AI in the horror genre. The Alien learns and adapts, and if you play the game on the nightmare difficulty some of the usual hiding spots are only effective depending on the Alien's perspective if you can see the Alien the chances are it can see you too. While Alien: Isolation relies on scripted scenes for theatrical effect, they come by rarely in comparison to when the Alien is let off it's leash to go wherever pleases it. Alien: Isolation offers true horror no matter which way you go or tactic you use, you can still be royally screwed if your luck runs out. That simply isn't a horror game that's a crouching/walking simulator that is only effective on the first play-through. So many Western horror games work by learning the AI's path, proceeding accordingly and rely heavily on jump scares that only work the first time.
Dynamic AI Alien: Isolation is a breath of fresh air.
