MY REVIEW • 26.9 HOURS PLAYED
Dead Space 2
What I liked
The atmosphere and combat are excellent. Fighting Necromorphs is much more interesting than simply shooting enemies because you have to think about where you're aiming.
What I didn't like
After a while you start becoming more comfortable with the enemies, so some of the horror isn't as strong as it is at the beginning.
Story
Isaac feels more like an actual character in this game, and I liked seeing how the events of the first game continued to affect him.
Combat & Gameplay
Cutting off Necromorph limbs is still one of the things that makes Dead Space different. The weapons give you several ways to deal with enemies, and the game mixes horror with action very well.
Exploration & Open World
The Sprawl gives you more variety than staying in one type of environment for the entire game, while still keeping the dark and dangerous Dead Space atmosphere.
Final Thoughts
A very good mix of horror and action. It's scary, violent and fun, with combat that still feels different from most shooters.
