Entering the menu instantly gives you idea of what are you gonna go through. And intro is even better. Very well settles up the ground for our crew and the thrill of exploring dark corridors on abandoned space station. And that intro is probably one of my favorite beginning of video games ever. Very well creates the atmosphere and from time to time got the feeling that developers tried to do some kind of criticism on capitalism, basing on ads on spaceship and FUNCTIONING SHOP on fucking abondended spaceship that ain't even able to communicate with outer world. But idk, maybe I'm just overthinking cuz this theme feels barely touched.
Unfortunetly after around first hour game from adventure/horror becomes RPG and horror isn't terriying anymore. Also story was almost absolutely cut, so everything that's not the beginning and the end lacks the pacing, making the gameplay a bit secondary.
But going through mass of aliens, chopping them with very varied types of weapons is very pleasant. Upgrading gear actually matters and is very straightforward.
Maybe if it had more plot, and more similiar to beginning gameplay without many unimportant mechanics (telekinesis) I would give it a 10. But still very good game and probably I was just expecting something different.

When it comes to horror games, there's been a decline in quality since the Playstation 2 and forward with very few games holding up to previous standards.
One of those games is the original Dead Space, which not only is on par but far surpasses even some of the best horror games of the past and does so while paying tribute to tried and true horror masterpieces such as Alien, Resident Evil and more.
The serie would sadly degrade due to EA meddling, but the original game remains a masterpiece.

Evite este juego por muchísimos años porque le tenia un miedo genuino, gracias traumas de la infancia. Cuando por fin tuve el valor de jugarlo, quede tan fascinado no solo con la historia, el gameplay, la gestión de recursos, la atmósfera pero sobre todo el diseño de sonido, jugar este título con audífonos tiene que ser obligatorio.
