What's the best Alien game after Alien: Isolation? No, it isn't Aliens: Dark Descent, though that is an excellent real-time tactics take on James Cameron's sequel. Neither is it Alien: Rogue Incursion, Survios' recent VR spin on Isolation. The answer is, of course, Duskers, the 2016 indie game about scavenging derelict spacecraft using drones controlled remotely via a command-line interface.
Duskers may not be officially tied to Alien, but it captures the sci-fi peril of Ridley Scott's movie like few others, particularly the scene where the Nostromo crew watch the motion tracker, helpless, as the xenomorph chase down Dallas in the vents. Replace Tom Skerritt with a remote-controlled Roomba, and the motion tracker with a top-down blueprint of a spaceship, and you've got Duskers, baby.
