Alien Isolation, Driveclub, The Evil Within

Alien Isolation

• After 2 hours I've only seen the alien once and he killed me. 
• The best part of the game is the atmosphere.  I re-watched the first Alien movie and this game feels like you are on the set and in the movie.
• The game is all about stealth, if the alien sees you, you die.  This can make for some trial and error, but it adds to the tension and is really what you want in an Aliens game. 
• The Alien has advanced AI and there is not supposed to be any scripted events, also when you die and replay a section he will not act the same or even be in the same places.
• There are other enemies as well and there are weapons but the ammo is very limited plus if you make a lot of noise it will attract the alien so stealth is always the best approach.
• The sound design is awesome and I read where they know when the alien is near and they will increase the audio of your movements just to make the game more tense.
• The game is around 20 hours long which seems like that's a long time to be tense in a video game.

DriveClub

• Driveclub was set to be released when the PS4 launched and now it's finally out. Was it worth the delay/wait?
• This game feels like a throwback racer.  If you don't care about tweaking or customizing your car and just want to race around a track then you might like this bare-boned game. 
• The handling is a mix of simulation and arcade but there are no options to tweak the settings like in Forza.  There are no settings for traction or control or stability so if you don't like how it feels you are out of luck.
• The visuals are really nice and they have a lot of little details that make the game a stunner. They are going to patch in weather effects sometime later.
• The game is trying to be a social racer so during single player races you can compete against your friends on cornering or maintaining a high speed though parts of the race.
• They have had some server issues so multiplayer has been down and even the free PS+ version was delayed so it wasn't a smooth launch.
• Once again I am playing with a controller and it's okay but I really want to race with a wheel. 
• The career mode has you gaining stars in different events that unlock other events.  I haven't seen an option to buy a car yet, they just unlock as you progress that may change later. 
• You can't paint your car, each car has one color and 4 different preset liveries which is a little strange for a racer in this generation. 
• The racing is fun and the graphics are good but I'm having a better time with Forza Horizons 2.

The Evil Within

• Only played the first chapter and I can already tell this game is going to be crazy and a blast.
• It's from the director of RE4 and you get that vibe fairly quickly.  Just think Chainsaw man. 
• The game is action horror so expect some gory scenes, I've already fell into a pool of blood and have been decapitated.
