It’s very rare to find a video game that makes a good adaptation from a movie. There are many films where we think that the film would be so fun to play out with a joystick or a controller and it turns out that it’s a very dull game to play in reality. However, sometimes a game does manage to actually add a few elements that lean away from the movie a little bit that make the game actually really good by itself. We’ve decided to go out and have a look to see if we could find a comprehensive list of these gems in the rough. So here are our 11 genuinely good video games based on well-known movies.
Alien Isolation is a rather recent entry on this list that is obviously based on the original Alien films. Alien Isolation actually takes on the path of a sequel to all the films after Ripley dies. Her daughter goes to look for her and in the process ends up being chased by the Alien creature. The motion sensor is what makes this game so truly terrifying and nerve-racking and brings back to the tension of the old Alien films.
