Alien : Isolation Fire.

"Alien : Isolation" has some excellent visual effects and is prime example of the increase in graphical fidelity over recent years. Similar to Tomb Raider the fire seems very scripted in its appearances, with certain areas just being on fire in parts of the game, with no natural or dynamic spreading.

The fire is multi layered , and reacts differently depending on where it is in the room. Fire in the walls pours upwards out of holes, while fire close to the ceiling spreads outwards just like it would in real life. The fire also produces heat haze and embers in the air, as well as excellent smoke effects. These both add to the atmosphere and help to cover any parts of the fire that may break immersion, such as repeating flames or parts that don't quite react to the environment properly.
