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.
I never played this game before and decided to give it a shot. For it's "age" it is very scary and I had quite a few surprises so far that made me jump.
I really recommend it if you are out to get a really good survival horror.
So disappointed as I was looking forward to this as I love BioWare games but this is completely unplayable on PC.
The controls are so loose, so bad, and so impossible to target to kill anything -- I gave up an hour in. Not recommended at all. Can't believe anyone would waste their time struggling with this on PC.
Great game, still holds up magnificently after all these years.
As others have said, get the mouse fix but do still expect the mouse to be a little bit unwieldy. It's not too much of a problem, but can be an issue in some specific areas (shooting the turret, shooting while being dragged).
Also, when you're jumping in Zero-G, try to make sure your trajectory is as perpendicular to the landing surface as possible. If you're too close to being parallel, Isaac will freeze in midair and spontaneously die. Really annoying.
Other than that, though, phenomenal game. The story is good, if not a little predictable, the atmosphere is lovely, and the graphics have held up surprisingly well considering they're 12 years old. At the very least, a solid 5 hours of quality entertainment.
i think its one of the greatest horror sci-fi game of all time that is for me. I really enjoyed the game its has good story, characters are very well played and has scary horror atmosphere my only one problem is the mouse sentivity no matte how i try to fix it it dosent work pls update a patch cause thats what GOG does right? fix game to run on new systems i am still waiting pls fix this
