If you fancy scaring yourself silly this weekend, be sure to check out Alien: Isolation - The Collection which is 70% off on the Feral Interactive store.
Note: Buying from the Feral Store gives you a Steam key. This is your chance to get a cheaper game and support Feral directly, as they get a bigger cut since this cuts out Steam.
It's an incredible game all around and I've put plenty of hours into it. It scares me something silly, so I had to play it in small segments to not overload my heart.
Alien: Isolation – The Collection contains all DLC, including two stand-alone missions set aboard the Nostromo, in which players become a member of the original crew, and five mission packs that add new maps, playable characters and challenges to the Survivor and Salvage modes.

Let yourself get sucked into the great atmosphere of this game as Creative Assembly managed to bring the feeling Ripley must have had in the first Alien movie into a game. Probably the best Alien game available, for sure the best Alien game on Linux ;)
But learn to read the signs, the game gives you. Otherwise you might get the impression the game would be unfair (at least some gamers claim that), which it isn't at all. You always have a chance. Be brave, but not too perky.
Aww man, I envy everybody who hasn't played it yet and can make this experience fresh from the beginning ;)
I hope there will be a sequel.
edit: ah yes, and it is great to watch other players streaming this game. So if it happens you get a copy, add yourself to the streaming list here, so we can all watch you :D

GTX 560 is just below minimum system requirements (Nvidia 6xx series) so I am worried will/how it will work on my machine.
Thanks in advance.

Quoting: Geppeto35when we buy on Feral, we have steam key or something more like GOG linux releases?
At least a Steam key, don't know if there's a pure download as well.
Quoting: jgacasCan somebody tell me, from their experience, does Alien Isolation works on GTX 560 and how good it performs?
I can't say anything about a 560, but I used to play this on a GTX 650 Ti Boost and got very good fps (mostly 60 even) on pretty high settings. Maybe that helps for comparisons.
I need to get back to this. I kept getting killed by impatience. :P
