It's a pretty solid action horror game pulling from the best parts of a whole bunch of different scifi horror properties. The RIG suit is a pretty great design and repurposing deep space engineering and repair tools as weapons is really cool. There are a lot of satisfying weapons in this game, but it's really hard to beat the starting Plasma Cutter. It's useful the entire game and has a pretty good sound profile.
Dude, Dead Space is terrifying! The Ishimura is basically a haunted house in space, the Necromorphs are freaky as heck, and the tension is insane. Combat is surprisingly fun when you get the hang of dismemberment, and the atmosphere still holds up incredibly well. Not gonna lie, it scared the crap out of me, but it's a classic for a reason and an absolute must-play for any fan of survival horror.
