Batman Arkham City was, in my second playthrough, becoming rather boring. Then I changed the difficulty to the highest setting and it was much more interesting. I had to plan everything and take a lot of care to not to die. In contrast, Alien Isolation is an unforgiving frustrating game in most difficulties. I hope it gets better on a second playthrough.
