Dead Space 2 is a masterclass in survival horror. It takes everything great from the first game and amps it up – better weapons, scarier Necromorphs, and one of the most intense opening sequences in gaming history. The Ishimura is still claustrophobic and creepy, and the story takes Isaac on a wild ride. It loses points for those stupid hallucinations... but otherwise, Dead Space 2 is a must-play for horror fans.
