Damn I love Dead Space. Such a disturbed and creepy game. Really like how you actually can't "kill" the enemies either, just crippling them by shooting off their limbs.
I'm currently replaying the first game on Steam. I have all three but the first game is my absolute favorite.
There's a reason for this. The first game was all about being scary and the atmosphere (lol, atmosphere in space) is top notch. Also, the protagonist Isaac was a mute and we never really saw his face until the very end of the game.
However, in the second and third game they gave him a personality we can see his face everytime we get a new suit, and a voice, the creepy atmosphere became action focused completely and as such the two later games were well, not so good. At all. Isaac destroyed the original Marker in the first game, but to keep the franchise going EA decided that a Marker could actually be copied and built by man and as such the terror could continue for as long as EA needed to beat the dead horse.
No. In my book, one game is enough. Dead Space is a fantastic horror game which doesn't rely completely on jumpscares. It has an excellent atmosphere and is quite a big game even though it's quite linear (you can walk off-path for looting however). I still play it from time to time and I love every second of it as much as I did back in 2008 when it first game out. I wish Gog had the rights to it so I didn't need DRM Steam in order to play it.
