You are Isaac Clarke, an engineer on the spacecraft USG Ishimura. You're not a warrior. You're not a soldier. You are, however, the last line of defense between the remaining living crew and deadly reanimated corpses. The undead have become Necromorphs; horrific zombie-alien hybrids that won't succumb to traditional means. Fortunately, your offense is equally unique, as the high-powered mining tools at your disposal provide the means to fight against the threat.
Messy monster slaying.
The Necromorphs are unlike any enemies you've seen before. Headshots do about as much damage to them as flicking rubber bands. To survive, you'll need to dismember their insect-like limbs, one at a time.
Improvised weapons.
There aren't many traditional firearms aboard the Ishimura, but there's plenty of stopping power in Isaac's toolkit. Send horizontal or vertical blasts of energy at enemies with the Plasma Cutter, remotely control a high-speed sawblade with the Disc Ripper, and fill hallways with wide swaths of destruction with the Line Gun. Switch things up with alternate fire modes, and purchase upgrades to increase ammo, power, and reload speed.
Real-time attacks.
Whatever you do, don’t drop your guard. Everything takes place in real-time. That means any action you take, whether it be reloading or digging through your inventory, gives the Necromorphs a perfect opportunity to attack. This nightmare has just begun and it’s up to you to get to the bottom of what happened here.
1st one is good too, took me almost 8h to completly beat it. I recommend to buy this on sale tho, cuz game might not be worth full price on this platform (16.19 EUR with 50% perhaps)
Dead Space doesn't rely on cheap jump scares. It builds a world, where the atmosphere is oppressive and the enemies inspire dread. Most games that label themselves horror fail to scare you after a first playthrough every so called scary moment anticipated. Dead Space retains it's freshness and is a game that people love or hate because no matter how many times you play it, it's still scary.
Blatant Resident Evil 4 ripoff with a blatant Gordon Freeman ripoff wannabe protagonist wearing a blatant ripoff of the armor from Lost in Space (1998). Still, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts and it's not bad. Shame about the sequels...
This game is a masterpiece and a must play for any gamer, as for the negative reviews.... remember this is GoG and most games need some tweaking anyway due to age, this one is no different, it's from 2008 no less and many PC related things have changed but any regular customer of GoG will get this running just fine with no problems, (pcgamingwiki is your best friend) if you are afraid of tweaking games maybe GoG is not for you and Steam will gladly hold your hand for a price and your soul.
If you have never played this then you are missing a huge part of gaming history, the original Dead Space commercials on TV were legend and many people were too terrified to play this back then.
As for the infamous Asteroid mini-game issue, just use a mouse or X-Box controller at that point (if your not already) and it's so easy it's actually fun.
Space and horror.
The atmosphere and specialy the prodigious sound ambiance. The sound atmosphere, may be the most terrifying, playing late in the night. I'd never felt so alone, so far away from everythingl and so definitly lost where no one will never come again. what an experience
I'm really not an horror game fan but THIS game is probably my favorite game ever.
