Description
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.

Not bad but below expectations

Pretty generic horror story.....find oneself in a environment where you constantly receive missions from NPC that otherwise have little impact on the character or story until the forced twist at the end of game. Player never feels in control, just a drone taking orders. Keyboard and video caused me motion sickness. Game felt more like a FPS than survival horror....lighting was annoying, not scary and monsters did not cause fear anymore than a Fallout series Raider ....they were just there to be shot. Technically, I found little problems with the PC port....no bugs or framerate issues. Graphics were good for the time and still present enough detail to give the illusion of realism once the player is into the game. Voice acting did not detract from game so must be considered a plus. Probably would have given 3 stars except I really thought the game felt grindy due to the lack of player initiative and choice - straight up 'on rails' game. That may not bother some people and the docking of that extra star would not apply to them.

Damn... I got tired of waiting for it to appear on GOG, gave in, and paid origin's price 2 weeks ago. Wish I had waited a little longer. :|

Input lag

Tried to play through this game on several occations but it is just not doable with mouse and keyboard. I just can not play with controller. (Would probably be worse for me than with mouse) I just can't understand why the game has such a good rating considering it's unplayable.

This game is completely broken on PC

The mouse sensitivity is way too low, and 5 minutes in I couldn't get through an open door. Unless you're willing to hunt for MULTIPLE fixes to make this game playable, avoid it.

Broken game

The mouse aim is bugged and has to be fixed with a workaround and some scripted events don't work leading to the game breaking. Don't buy this version of the game.
