I want to beat this game, and I’m determined to do so, but I’ll hate every minute.The son of a librarian, Chris M.

I want to see what the game throws at me, and how it will twist the fucked up enemies to new levels of depravity. I want to get to the bottom of what happened to the Ishimura, I want to help anyone left alive onboard. The problem is, Dead Space is good enough that I can’t stop playing. I get why people love this, too, but I hate it. The tense atmosphere Dead Space creates is palpable and the mood conveyed is terrifying. I can acknowledge that this is great game design. The next attack has already been immortalised in the game’s code, and I just have to walk right in and face it. I know that there will be something terrible once I reach my destination, but there’s nothing I can do to stop it. Jumpscares give me a fright, but the narrow passages ramp up the tension to unbearable levels. I’ve only been attacked a couple of times in the corridors of the Ishimura, but the claustrophobic walkways terrify me.

But for me, that pales in comparison to the route there. It must be terrifying to be attacked by these once-human creatures from all angles, armed only with a plasma cutter and a stomping space boot because everything else is out of ammo. This is where most of the attacks come, as poor Isaac has to fend off multiple monstrosities at once. I don’t mind the big combat arenas, the medic bays and areas of open, gravity-less space.
