I remember watching Felix 'PewDiePie' Kjellberg play Alien: Isolation as a kid. I wasn't allowed to play it because the movies terrified my mom and would therefore horrify me, so watching Pewds was as close as I got. It was like a delayed chorus; he'd scream, I'd scream, he'd scream, I'd close YouTube. Whether I knew it back then or not, Isolation had implanted a seed in me; one that would grow and entice me back to the eerie, abandoned halls of the Sevastopol again and again. It's been years since I played Isolation, but with the release of Alien: Romulus and a pretty hefty discount, I might just have to terrify myself all over again.
