While Ridley Scott’s recent Alien prequels may have left a number of fans disappointed, the franchise has enjoyed more success in the video game medium in recent years, with the survival horror title Alien: Isolation in particular proving a hit with gamers and critics. The most recent game however, Aliens: Fireteam Elite, was less well received when it released last year.
