I always knew this game would be gory, tense and challenging and I was right. Oh boy was I right. I never played it in the dark either.
It was actually nice to play a different survival horror game that wasn't Dead Space or Resident Evil and they are great games in themselves...let's not talk about Resident Evil 6 though ok?
You play detective Sebastian Castellanos who along with his colleagues goes along to investigate a massacre at Beacon Mental Hospital. After witnessing his fellow officers die around him, killed by a man in white, he is knocked unconscious and wakes up in an horrific world of zombies, monsters and more. You thought your job was tough...
In space no one can hear you scream...but they can in your bedroom hiding beneath the quilt while you try to escape the Necromorphs attempting to tear you apart limb by limb.
When I first saw a preview for Dead Space in a playstation magazine I thought it was just a trashy gorefest that wouldn't gather much attention. Just killing aliens on a spaceship by dismembering them? Yeah great fun. Just trashy.
Well I was wrong as Dead Space is survival horror at its best and the dismembering is actually quite clever and fun.
Let me start by saying that if there ever was a virus outbreak that turned people into ferocious brain-eating monsters of any kind I wouldn't survive long at all. Playing this game has made me realise that. Luckily that is never going to happen! Right? Uhhh....
