Dead Space is survival action-horror that’s as inspired as inspirational; taking, building and pushing the genre forward. Excellent design choices that prioritize on immersion throughout your horrifying time on the Ishimura, full of interesting areas, background story secrets, and of course the scary necromorphs. The ways each type of necromorph are introduced is great, especially with the divider; simple but effective. The weapons and focus on dismemberment is brilliant. My very minor nitpicks are with its endgame pacing and dated controls.
