New life… I mean, A new life awaits YOU on the off-world colonies…. Still, although there is a good variety of monster types ( including a couple of large bosses) slightly later in the game, expect to fight the same two or three monsters over and over again in the very early parts. Whether it is the weird arms growing out of their backs, the way they walk/run, the noises they make or just the fact that they are inhuman alien zombies sculpted from human flesh, they are definitely some of the most… monstrous… monsters you will ever see in a horror game 🙂 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.
