This one wasn't goofy at all.
I think that the necromorphs are some of the best monsters ever created in gaming, and the cooler cousins of zombies. I really enjoyed the story and the atmosphere is great; how you comunicate with other survivors is a big part of it and whenever it happens you feel always a bit of relief. The game still looks damn good after 15 years, and the sound design is very good too. The game never stops being scary, maybe because it doesn't last too much. The shooting is good, but not great and it feels like the only weapons you'll ever need are the cutter and his big brother. Exploration isn't really rewarding since the only thing you can find are resources, and in normal difficulty you'll hardly ever run out of them (the best difficulty to play in is probably hard). The bosses are few and hit or miss in my opinion. I love de HUD and the fact that there are almost no cutscenes, but i hate with all my heart the map and i don't like the path thinghy. The level desing is still pretty good and the powers are not used as much as i would have liked.
It's an experience i definitely enjoyed, even if it's not the most complex or deep game, and it still stands on its legs after 15 years.
