Like I enjoy this game more than Goldeneye for example but Goldeneye is clearly a classic whereas this game just kind of exists
I don't know if they forgot about it, it's just that Amnesia and Outlast already existed so it didn't get as much press. And while I haven't played Outlast, Amnesia scared the **** out of me while still never giving me the same vivid feeling of being hunted. Amnesia might be the better game overall but what Alien: Isolation does right it does so right that no amount of understandable criticisms can take away from it.
