A lot of Alien: Isolation's fear stems from the fact that the game makes you feel so powerless and that the Alien can be anywhere at any time, even in the vents. true "So powerless"; and when you think a handgun, a shotgun and a flamethrower are pretty commendable weapons, especially when one of them is actually efficient to push back the main threat. Though, if a game is the scariest of 2014, yes it is Alien: Isolation. It's really well made and I love it - but y'know, on a psychological level, Outlast takes the cake. This year, there wasn't really anything too groundbreaking, except Kholat, which was a very risky approach to the horror genre and ended up being pretty good; as one would say: "They risked it for biscuit."

But if you need weird games, then I would like to know what you qualify as "weird", because that would help me help you. Because I wouldn't want to recommend SOOPAH DOOPAH POOPAH when you're more into LSD Dream Emulator.
