The 10 Best Scary Games to Play on PS4, Ranked

8. Alien: Isolation

Set on a decommissioned trading station out on the fringes of space, Alien: Isolation sees you assume the role of Amanda as she navigates her way through an increasingly dangerous world, all the while being hunted by Alien. While what is essentially a sci-fi version of cat and mouse may not seem all that terrifying, it is when Alien is controlled by an impressive AI dedicated to hunting you down with all of its senses.

Think you can just wait until it walks by and then run for dear life? Wrong. Alien will hear your loud footsteps, chase you down, and shove one of its long finger things straight through you. Isolation requires you to outsmart a terrifying foe and bide your time. It’s this suspense that makes it so damn scary.
