Terrifying, Brutal, and most importantly, fucking metal.
“Make us whole again Isaac…”
…Sheesh dude.
Dead Space is a well written horror game with organic feeling Sci-fi elements that contribute to fresh and exciting gameplay. The dismemberment angle is really damn cool. It’s unlike anything I’ve had to do before, and it really adds a layer to the game’s uniqueness… which says a lot already.
The goth elements are cool as hell… and the stomping and punching are of course awesome. Weapon variety never gets boring, and neither do your special abilities. Finding new ways to incorporate your abilities into your combat is so much fun, and the different enemy types are consistently scary, and refreshing.
I was on edge from start to finish, as almost every single scare was incredibly crafted. Though I think a stronger focus on story throughout the experience could’ve helped, I’m not upset with what we got. There’s a heavy focus on gameplay, and it’s fantastic, so it’s hard to complain. I think if they had just replaced some of the task-like missions in favor of some story driven ones, it would’ve been even better.
It can also feel a little stiff by todays standards, but I’m sure that’s something that gets worked out in the next entry in the series. The way the seemingly simple story culminated by the end of the game made the experience all worth it. It was everything I could have hoped for.
I got my awesome final boss battle, the story payoff, and the final character reflection, just how I like it. It was more than I could have asked for… and I’m very happy with it. What an awesome experience.
