Alien Isolation - Microsoft Xbox 360

The alien's AI is genuinely terrifying—it learns your hiding spots, so you can't just camp in a locker. The flashlight flickering out at the worst moments kept my heart pounding the entire playthrough. It's the first game in years that actually made me jump.

The sound design alone had me checking over my shoulder in real life — that distant hiss and clanking vents are pure dread. It runs smooth enough on the 360, and the cat-and-mouse stealth genuinely makes you plan every move. Definitely worth the sleep I lost.

The alien's AI is terrifyingly unpredictable—it stalks you through the vents and corridors, forcing you to hide and plan every move. The tension never lets up, and the sound design alone had me jumping out of my seat on the 360.
