Creepy space shooter
2024 was my first Dead Space playthrough, and although I know there is a fresh remake, I wanted to experience the original first. Dead Space is a creepy 3rd-perspective shooter with unique weapons, clever enemies, and a fabulous "Alien"-esque horror environment. Actually, it is even more so "Event Horizon." This game is gory, with a clever kill system for the enemies, and loads of collectibles. It's got a meaningful upgrade tree, and a great inventory system where you can store goodies for later. It's a lot of fun, especially when the game spices things up with low O2 or no gravity. The kinesis and slow-mo powers showcase its indebtedness to System Shock 2. My favorite moments were the tense sequences with waves of enemies coming at you, since Clarke is not the most ninja-like of protagonists. You have to think quick on your feet since you can't "Doomguy" your way through this game. But there are some real imperfections in Dead Space, which I hope are worked out in the remake. It's really not that scary. A couple times you'll get caught by surprise from an enemy dropping through the ceiling or what-not, but otherwise this game could have used more atmospheric support, like the dark parking levels of Half-Life 2 E1, or the twisting levels of HL2's Ravenholm. Part of its lack of fear factor comes from its very linear level design. The game is mostly a "go here, get a thing, put it over there" type levels, so it really depends on the combat to keep things interesting. The tasks themselves are not particularly puzzling or interesting. Finally, I didn't get much out of the story. I hear the remake does more with it. The cultus and the backstory to Clarke lacked significant emotional resonance, seeming more like Mcguffins to give me a reason to move from room to room. In the end, I found myself wishing they had kept it more Doom-like and just foregone the story, focusing instead of the GTFO nature of the mission.
