Alien: Isolation is a terrific horror game, and a franchise I get extremely excited for. Alien: Isolation is also one of the few "Alien" based games that wasn't a let down.

Demands for the Linux version of a game can be sometimes quite vocal, but its actual release does not seem to bring much, if any, profit.
