I cannot praise the monster designs in this game highly enough 🙂 Yes, the game throws enough of them at you that they quickly stop being scary, but – on a purely visual level – they are still some of the most well-designed horror monsters that I’ve seen for a while. Still, I should probably start by talking about the game’s horror elements – which consist of a mixture of monster horror, body horror, creepy/claustrophobic locations, creepy characters, jump scares/suspense, gory horror, psychological horror and cosmic horror.Įven though experienced horror game fans are unlikely to find it too terrifying – thanks to it’s empowering action elements, slightly faster pace and heavy emphasis on “jump” moments – these elements really help to add a lot of edgy “gothic sci-fi” atmosphere to the game and can occasionally be moderately frightening too. However, there is complete radio silence from the Ishimura and, after a crash landing, the team find the ship to be eerily deserted….
Isaac’s partner, Nicole, works as a doctor on board the Ishimura too. Set in 2058, you play as Isaac Clarke – a crew member of a small spaceship called the Kellion that has been sent to investigate a mining vessel called the USG Ishimura that has run into problems in orbit around a planet called Aegis VII. Needless to say, this review may contain SPOILERS and GRUESOME IMAGES (but I’ll try to keep them to a minimum). Even though the reviews below it seemed to be rather mixed, I decided to give this game a chance – and I’m so glad that I did 🙂 Somehow, it took until mid-late March this year before I noticed that a DRM-free copy of the PC version of it was on sale on GOG. Evenson’s “ Dead Space: Martyr” (2010) back in 2014, I’ve wanted to play this game – since it is literally “zombies in space” 🙂
Well, it certainly took long enough but I’ve finally got around to completing “Dead Space” (2008) 🙂 Ever since I watched “ Dead Space: Downfall” (2008) and read B.
