    Finally returned after prob near 12 years to give this one another go. Enjoyable atmospheric action horror game with very few frills to get in the way. I miss the PS3 days when a game could be finished in less than 20 hours and leave you satisfied. Currently on Chapter 10. I think putting it on hard ruined it a bit as a horror game since I'm so focused on backtracking to save points and managing my resources to get creeped out.

      Editing … I can't believe how long it has been since Dead Space came out. Gaming has really changed since then. I can’t say for the better though but there are nice games still. There is hope.

      Editing … I docked some points off Dead Space when it came out for being derivative (not the worst thing to be but still), but in retrospect it deserved mad props for its execution. I agree with this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG8kRH4lDn0 I think in a lot of ways Dead Space 1 and 2 can stand toe to toe with a lot of modern shooters.

    I decided to replay this. Oh man, what great fun. Wew lass. These are great vibes too.
    Dead Space's universe has always been one of my favorites in sci-fi. The lore becomes amazing.

    I finally got around to playing this great of the last gen and while I don't think it quite gets to the levels I've heard other put it at (top 10-15 of last gen) it's still definitely worth playing.

    The game didn't quite hook me like I thought it would and I think that do with the combat. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with the combat but it just felt cheap and aggregating at times and I feel it took away from my enjoyment of the game at times.

    However nearly everything apart from the combat is fantastic. The setting and art style are both great. The story, while not anything revolutionary is a solid sci-fi horror with a strong ending. The inventory, store, upgrade workbench and variety of weapons are all welcome features and further immerse you in the Ishimura. Dead Space immerses you to an extent few games can even dream of. The sense of dread and isolation is unreal and even the small things like UI, and sound design contribute greatly to easily some of the best atmosphere in gaming.

    When you play Dead Space, you are just on the Ishimura for 12-14 hours, fully immersed in it's world and its a horrible place to be in the greatest way.

    8.5/10

    Best game of 2008. Horror and action found the right mix. Immersive gameplay with a layered story which connects with its audience. Sheer terror. Resident Evil 2, reincarnated. Gives me hope for future.

    I really enjoyed Dead Space. Such a solid game.
    Loved the slow, clunky control of Isaac. Made you feel how heavy and clumsy he was in that suit, in a very tangible way. The guns were all great and diverse, and I loved the idea of having to cut limbs off. Different to most games. After each level, I often felt relieved. Relieved that I had got through safely. The story was really well put together, and the immersive UI was fantastic. More games should use it, especially with the Occulus Rift on the horizon!

    Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
    How we wonder what you are.
    Up above the world so high,
    Like a diamond in the sky

    A true Survival Horror. I love Isaac and I'm still scared. If you want a immersive and awesome game, with some freak story and weird monsters, this game is Dead Space. RIP Resident Evil.

    You'll enjoy this game much more if you play it as a action game with horror elements, but if you go in expecting a scarefest you'll be bitterly disappointed. It clearly drew the majority of it's inspiration from Resident Evil 4 but combines this with some cool sci-fi aesthetics and a decent cult conspiracy plot. The game feels fairly balanced except for the bosses, and the variety of weapons isn't bad.
