    This horror classic has stood the test of time. Maybe one of the few 2008 games that still looks good in 2020. I absolutely love that game.

    This horror masterpiece needs remaster as soon as possible. This amazing game can't be forgotten. If RE4 can get Remake, then Dead Space at least deserves remaster.

    Absolute Horror Game Masterpiece. I have a feeling this game was ahead of it's time, because not many (if any) horror games have managed to surpass atmosphere, monsters, ship design and just overall feeling of fear like this game did.

Though the most scariest moments of Hellblade are more stressful and intense than the most scariest moments in Dead Space it is the later that more probably will leave its mark on your mental health. The thing is, Dead Space doesn't have many particularly scary moments - the whole game is one particularly scary moment. There wasn't a moment when I thought "Okay, now I am powerful enough to easily defend myself" - of course with time you obtain better equipment and better weapons but it doesn't help because the monsters also get stronger - so up to the very end you are afraid of any sudden movement or noise. The fact that the threat can appear literally from anywhere doesn't give you a chance to relax even for a little bit - the constant feel of danger doesn't let you go.

    Dead Space isn't just a scary game. Dead Space also is a good shooter with RPG elements, an interesting and intriguing story with great sound design. Everything here makes sense, everything feels right - no useless collectibles, no stupid sidequests. Dead Space certainly deserves a "must-play" badge on metacritic because in many ways it is a perfect sci-fi horror which didn't age much even 12 years later.    … Expand

    That is why the game is extremely tiring mentally.
    And it would be a perfect horror game, if not for the fact that the game was made typically for the console, and on the PC you can feel the roughness of the character control. The whole thing is completed by a terrible ragdoll.
    After all, it's terrifyingly sensational horror with an interesting plot.

    Loved that they go for a silent protagonist here, It actually gives you your own takes on most of the matter. Addition to that Is: It actually increases the terrors-surrounding generates. Eventually, You'll get used to the frightening environment until it caught you off-guard.

    Ho deciso di recuperare Dead Space solo ora, nel 2020, e quindi lo valuterò con un metro di giudizio attuale.

    AUDIO E GRAFICA:
    Dal punto di vista sonoro il gioco è buono ma non eccellente, diciamo che alcuni suoni sono migliorabili, così come la colonna sonora che non è particolarmente incisiva. Per quanto riguarda il doppiaggio, io l'ho giocato in italiano, devo dire che è ottimo tranne per un personaggio che è davvero pessimo.

    Graficamente invece il gioco è ancora davvero piacevole, nonostante siano passati 12 anni dalla sua uscita. Inoltre giocando su PC ho potuto attivare ReShade e cambiare delle impostazioni di Nvidia per rendere il gioco ancora più moderno. Così facendo ho potuto rimuovere il filtro giallo che ha il gioco (che non mi piace e lo trovo poco adatto), migliorare l'anti-aliasing, l'occlusione ambientale e ho aumentato il frame rate a 60 FPS.

    Estremamente moderno l'HUD del gioco, che è completamente assente e sfrutta indicazioni direttamente su armatura e armi per fornire al giocatore le informazioni necessarie.
    Inoltre l'inventario e la mappa saranno degli ologrammi interattivi, senza che mettano il gioco in pausa (cosa che è comunque possibile fare con un tasto).

    Gli unici piccoli difetti tecnici riguardano alcune animazioni, di cui si nota troppo l'inizio, e i cadaveri a terra che risultano troppo leggeri e soggetti alla fisica, generando un fastidioso rumore di strisciamento che fa pensare alla presenza di nemici.

    GAMEPLAY:
    Da questo punto di vista il gioco è ancora estremamente attuale, al punto che dovrebbe essere ancora preso come riferimento da molti giochi.

    Senza andare troppo nei dettagli, sono presenti molti fattori che permettono di creare situazioni diverse, rendendo il gioco estremamente vario nel gameplay e divertente da giocare.

    Le armi alla fine sono quasi un aspetto marginale, in quanto per completare i reali obiettivi avremo bisogno di sfruttare la fisica, rallentare oggetti e risolvere semplici enigmi, oltre alla presenza di bellissime aree senza gravità e a volte senza ossigeno.

    Il gameplay ha pochissimi difetti, come l'impossibilità di ricaricare le armi mentre ci si muove e i menu olografici che a volte non funzionano come dovrebbero.

    Va infine detto come, ad accrescere la componente horror del gioco, il salvataggio si possa effettuare solo in specifici punti (salvo qualche checkpoint automatico) e come l'inventario sia poco capiente (avremo bisogno dei rari "negozi" per liberarci lo zaino).

    STORIA:
    La storia non è particolarmente interessante, anche se in realtà bisogna distinguere quella del nostro protagonista da quella dell'equipaggio della nave che saremo chiamati ad aiutare.

    La prima è davvero irrilevante e anche quasi fastidiosa, in quanto è un semplice susseguirsi di problemi e soluzioni. C'è qualche colpo di scena ma i personaggi non hanno una storia e non sono abbastanza carismatici.

    Molto più interessante è invece la storia, o meglio la lore, che racconta gli avvenimenti sulla Ishimura. Ci capiterà infatti di raccogliere oggetti che racconteranno piccole parti della storia, oltre a dedurne altre parti osservando gli ambienti e assistendo ad alcune scene.

    In conclusione, il gioco è di una lunghezza giusta per il genere (tra le 10 e le 20 ore a seconda dello stile di gioco) e sa creare un'atmosfera di livello altissimo, in un periodo in cui gli horror si basano quasi solo su jump scare. Da giocare soprattutto per il gameplay, che non ha subito in nessun modo il passare del tempo.

    -BAD controls
    -Unfixed clunkiness or bugs on certain modern systems
    -The aliens are gross

    Dead Space is a good game. If you're into violent alien horrors, then you got it. It's all in there, and it even aged relatively well, I'd say the game still looks nice even more than 10 years(!) after release. The atmosphere is truly creepy, level design is claustrophobic, sound effect are just right and there are chilly soundtrack cues to run along with it.
    And it's very violent, if that's your kind of thing. But like other games of this type - that means it fundamentally relies on jump scares.
    And those aliens are gross!

    Why the low score then?
    Well, those aliens are gross!

    But to be serious, I didn't enjoy much Dead Space.
    I guess this is largely because I'm more into story-driven titles and this was much of a combat-driven.
    The story is there, alright, and it's even original, BUT there's very little emphasis on it, and towards the ending it turned towards the cliche-side.
    Sure, for a truly good game - that's not enough to give a 6 out of 10.

    Well, unfortunately, I found the controls to be clunky and uncomfortable. Not sure if this was intentional or not, since horror-wise it did help a lot - I kept hearing my enemies and had a very hard time to aim at them or even find them. Creepy, yeah, but at some point it felt more like a nuisance.
    The controls are simply not good.
    The entire movement felt a bit clunky as well. I've found out this is a known issue, and seems the fix only partially fixes it.
    Also, that annoying bug where your difficulty setting changes and there's NO WAY within the game to change it back, was absolutely annoying and didn't add much to the experience.

    So, unfortunately, no.    … Expand

    This game isn't scary. It's reasonably intense, startling, and unnerving, but scary it is not. The aim is stiff but okay enough, the atmosphere is completely unoriginal but well done, the chapters are repetitive but decent enough. It's not a bad game, not a great game, I wouldn't recommend it.

    The gameplay is inspired by resident evil 4, but with a crucial factor which is the dismember system, this was a great deal for the game's physics and to kill the enemies.
    Visually the game still holding great in 2019, specially it's lighting and shadows in real time.
    Off course the problem with the game is that the further you progress into the game, nearly to the ending you have a lot of ammo and have upgraded most of your weapons, so basically now you are overpowered and necromorphs are no threat at all.
    But, it is a really scary title that is worth trying if you want to be scared.    … Expand

    Still one of the best survival horror action games ever made. Only Resident Evil 4 can really beat it.
    In 2019 looses none of it's creepy and intense atmosphere. As others have said the sound design is outstanding all round but the graphics also still hold up IMO when all options are set to high. Plays well with keyboard and mouse too. An essential game for any horror fan.

    Although the controls and Isaac's movement can be a bit frustrating, especially when you're on low health and running for your life from xenomorphs, Dead Space is still a **** horror masterpiece that I still have a hard time playing more than an hour because it scares the hell out of me with its amazingly scary atmosphere.

    The game is not so much scary as atmospheric and that's fine, although parts definitely were scary and there were a bunch of jump scares thrown in for good measure. It was just the right level of creepy for me, it kept me on my toes without giving me a heart attack.

    Dead Space is a very linear game, the wrong way is often blocked and it's impossible to get lost with the breadcrumb system which points you in the right direction, this is a scripted experience above all else, and a good one at that. When playing on normal or above ammo is quite scarce and enemies are tough, often killing you in a few hits, however there is an easy difficulty which is very easy, you're basically the Terminator so if you just want to tag along for the ride then there's an option for you.

    The story is interesting and told well, and unlike a lot of games it ends well too. The main character isn't voiced which hurts immersion IMO, this is often a developer choice, just not one I agree with. All the other NPCs you encounter are voiced very well though, no poor performances to speak of.

    Overall it's a well made, story-driven experience with solid gameplay and mechanics that I definitely recommend. EA Access is currently £3.99/month and the entire trilogy is available to you, that's how I played them and you also get access to a bunch of other great games like Titanfall 2 so it's a no brainer if you wish to start the series.    … Expand

И пускай взор любителя сего жанра сразу зацепит в сюжетном плане Чужих, Лавкрафта, Нечто, SS и, конечно же, классический геймплей: "ищем ключ, который откроет дверь, за которой еще один ключ", игра все же приносит удовольствие. Я потратил на ее 20 часов(несмотря на уверения стима в 13) и ни разу мне не было скучно. Классная стрельба, пожалуй одна из лучших, если не лучшая, реализация интерфейса в играх от третьего лица, красивый космос(мне безумно понравились все моменты выхода за пределы корабля), отличные игрища с гравитацией и красивая графика.

    Если обратить взор на недостатки, то пожалуй самым главным будет клишированный сюжет(что, впрочем, искупляется неплохой мифологией) и ужасные интерьеры. Интерьеры как будто вопят "Мы из космоужастика класса Б-Муви, пожалуйста, заберите нас из этой игры, тут нужны специалисты". Конечно, трудно придумать в дизайне космических станций нечто новое, но.. Могли бы попытаться. Плох и финальный акт. Катать чертов Обелиск -- весьма скучно, весьма, вы уж поверьте.

    Но все эти недостатки(кроме дизайна локаций(за исключением космоса)) незначительны на фоне просто таки профессиональной работы в жанре хоррор. Все скримеры появляются там где нужно, звуки звучат там, где нужно(и приглушены в космосе, мелочь, а приятно) и игра вполне может пару раз напугать. Жаль, конечно, что игра пугает не идеями, как SH, но все равно приятно. До кучи добавлю не самую плохую локализацию.

On arrival you and your two crew mates crash land on the station and find out that the station is overrun by creatures called necromorhps. It is up to you to figure out what's exactly going on at the station, find your girlfriend who was stationed there and get out.

    The story is quite interesting and takes through the different parts of the ships where you gather bits and pieces to solving the mystery of what exactly happened. Takes quite a while to go thrugh all the chapters but it's engaging, interesting and at no point repetitive.

    Graphics still hold up very nicely - the level design is very nice and there are just a few areas you will re-visit. The audio layer is amazing and gives a lot to the ambience. The thumps in the air ducts, the humming of machines and the echo of your footsteps. Makes your hair stand up.

    As far as mechanics go - this is somewhat of a 3rd person shooter but the array of weapons and the way you fight the enemies is not from a standard shooter. Most of the weapons are energy weapons each with its own distinguish ammunition. The way you use them against the necromorphs is you need to cut off their limbs rather than going for the classical headshots. This makes for a very interesting mechanic where the first thing you aim at are the legs - at least for the most enemies.

    Additionally you get a stasis power which lets you slow down the enemies affected by the stasis field which comes in handy with a bigger amount of enemies. There is a couple of different enemy types and most of them differ significantly from each other requiring a bit different approach which is really nice.

    The only problem I've had is that you can tell that the game was designed for console. And the sensitivity on the mouse changes when you go into aim mode and feels a bit sluggish. But its not very hard to get used to it and enjoy this great game.

    The gameplay of Dead Space is centered around Isaac utilizing    Isaac Clarke is quite literally the unluckiest engineer in the universe, having to fend off the unrelenting hordes of the necromorphs while uncovering a rather macabre cult centered around offing themselves can be taxing. Dead Space provides this premise in one of the more memorable survival horror games of the generation.

    The gameplay of Dead Space is centered around Isaac utilizing everyday engineering tools to fight off the necromorphs not by simple chest shots, but by dismemberment which doles out more punishment. Using the third person control scheme, Dead Space's combat is extremely satisfying since every shot feels like it has impact and the dismemberment of enemies is astounding in an audiovisual standpoint. Backing this up is the game's attempt to immerse you with the lack of a distracting HUD. Everything is displayed in real time or displayed on Isaac's person himself, increasing the immersion and tension twofold.

    The setting where the game takes place, the USG Ishimura, is a deeply interesting and terrifying place to explore but gods be damned if they don't have half of all the flickering lights in existence. Despite that, it is a believable place where people lived once and takes Isaac into countless memorable places. The necromorphs that inhabit this decrepit setting serves as the real star of Dead Space. They're expertly designed while being just as disturbing. The regenerator in particular served as an exciting setpiece with how it cannot be killed with conventional means forcing you to use the environment to dispose of it. Enemy encounter is well paced throughout the Ishimura although I wished there were a few more enemy types to vary the encounters a slight bit.

    The story which serves as the driving force of the game centers around Isaac Clarke navigating the Ishimura in search of his girlfriend Nicole, who is somewhere in the Necromorph infested ship. The story takes cues from films like Event Horizon and the original Alien by instilling a fear of both dread and mystery. While slightly on the predictable in terms of who double crosses who, the plot is enthralling and serves the mood and tone of the story incredibly well. Although I didn't enjoy the ending as much as I would like considering it ends too much like a horror film. The layer of intrigue and memos scattered about covey just enough information to the player to prod them about without getting too exposition heavy, though at one point the supposed villain delivers an unnecessary exposition dump. The characters that inhabit Dead Space deliver some eye rolling lines but behave appropriately for the given situation and their voice acting is well above average.

    Despite the number of praises I might have for the game, Dead Space fails to deliver in one key area: horror. The first few hours of Dead Space are without a doubt excruciatingly terrifying given that this is the player's first encounter with the Necromorphs supplemented by the phenomenal sound design, which is an excellent mix of ambient and panic. However, the game loses much of its horror towards its conclusion not as a result of non-terrifying enemies, but rather how you encounter them and the tools the game gives you. Playing Dead Space on normal was shockingly easy to get by and because of that, enemies don't terrify you if you don't fear dying in-game. This is added by the fact the game throws enemies at you like mad. It's important to convey horror by pacing the horror to build suspense, and instead Dead Space throws enemies at you whenever possible. It becomes predictable to guess where they may come about and because of this repetition, the horror aspect become almost a distant reality and makes way for the fun of the game, which becomes its saving grace.

    Dead Space failing in this cornerstone should not detract players from enjoying one of the finer survival horror games in a long time. The gameplay is excellent and gratifying backed by an upgrade system that encourages a second run (though the lack of changing difficulties is a bummer). The sound design is pitch perfect. The plot is interesting and ambitious, which caters an awesome setting to explore. Dead Space more than makes up its shortcoming by being that game in the unorthodox survival horror game which prioritizes fun over scares, and I'm more than happy for that.    … Expand

    It might be late for me to review this, but Dead Space is totally a game that every horror-shooter gamers would not want to miss. If not for the sometimes-inconvenient controls, I'd be giving Dead Space a perfect score. Nonetheless, you won't notice that this game is 2008, because Dead Space overall can still honestly compete with games that are released today.

    Dead Space is a 3rd person shooter, survival horror game.
    You start the game out on a rescue mission, and you crash on a giant ship, you quickly find out that some crazy stuff is going on, and by quickly, I mean like, 3 minutes in and you’re ready to go home.
    Dead space is absolutely terrifying.
    The game is dark, takes place in this massive ship you crash landed on and this ship is crawling with creepy alien creatures.
    They come out of nowhere, it’s almost impossible to tell when or when they aren’t going to come after you.
    They crawl out of vents, you’ll see them and think great time for a showdown, and nothing happens, or you’ll completely miss the vents on the ceiling and one will hop down on top of you.
    You never get used them.
    Maybe eventually you do... but as soon as you do, they fix that.
    The terror is nonstop from beginning til end.
    These encounters are so terrifying because they are spread out perfectly.
    You spend more time relaxed running through dark halls than you do actually fighting.
    You can fight off these creatures with guns or stomp them to death.
    There are a variety of schematics you’ll find on the ship that you can take back to the store to purchase a new suit upgrade or a new weapon.
    You can carry up to 4 weapons at a time, and more ammo and med packs as you level up your suit.
    You can also collect power nodes to level up your weapons.
    Dead Space does a great job of giving you plenty of ammo while at the same time making you feel like you hardly have any, always keeping you tense.
    The downside though is that Dead Space is insanely repetitive.
    It’s hard to notice for the first 4 chapters of the game because the world feels so fresh, and you can’t help but smile at the influence modern games have borrowed from dead space, but all 12 chapters is nonstop follow the line, shoot things in your way, press the button, come back, do this about 3 or 4 times, get to the train, repeat chapter after chapter after chapter.
    Then they add in 0 gravity sections which can be pretty cool, but it quickly becomes boring and seems far too gimmicky as it was way over used.
    1 or 2 awesome 0 gravity sections would’ve been plenty enough.
    The ability to slow time and use telekinesis does make some sections a tiny bit more interesting and there are a handful of bosses in dead space, but none of them really stuck out of felt special to me.
    Dead Space is a horror game classic way ahead of its time and a must play for horror fans.
    I found the game insanely addictive at times, even though it tends to drag things out just a little too long.

    Dead Space is punishing and terrifying. Blood, guts and scares galore this is an absolute must play for any scifi horror fans.

    The alternate fire mode on weapons really spice up the game play.

    An enjoyable survival-horror. The graphics are good, the gameplay is fun, and I liked the weapons (which felt original) - however, and it is inevitable, there are a lot of unoriginal ideas.

    Para quem não jogou ainda: Jogue! Vale muito a pena!
    Esta dentro do gênero survival horror com ótimo áudio e dublagens, com trilhas realmente amedrontadoras! O gráfico do game também não fica atrás, é muito legal! Os movimentos são básicos mas são realmente aquilo o que seria se alguém estivesse em apuros em um nave cheia de monstros horríveis!

    Very high quality product from Electronic Arts. Game developers clearly draws inspiration from the films "Alien" by Ridley Scott and "The Thing" by John Carpenter. The atmosphere is incredible, the first minutes and total immersion in the game world. I do not remember so much atmospheric Sci-Fi game, can only be the Aliens versus Predators 2.

Very interesting design of the spaceship, everything very realistic, everything in their places. Interesting upgrades, original weapon. As far as the Necromorphs, I have never been so much fun to dismember, burn and trample into the meat of an aggressive alien biomass. Personally, I was not scared to play, the game is not like horror, but kept in constant tension to the very end of the game.… Expand

    Would give it an 8 or 9, except like most games that are ported, the graphics take a hit for the worse, no matter your setup. And never use a keyboard to play them. Lets be honest console games just don't port well, unless they had a huge makeover.

    Great game, full of scares, sound and atmosphere! Got it on Origin for free and was addicted to it after one hour! Got me 2 and 3 too, although the 3rd installation is a bit too heavy on the shooter side. But part one scared the **** out of me. One of the best games around!

    With the exception of some very strange controls, Dead Space succeeds at being a great combination of fun, scares, story, length and replayability. Was a great beginning to a epic series.

    The controls and camera views in this game are just sloppy and slow. The rooms are dark and disorienting. The mission goals are ill defined and you just slog through to new areas.

You start out in the suit, so its hard to tell who you really are. Basically, you stumble around and monsters come from the side, where its difficult to sway the camera around and you get attacked. If you are lucky enough to have stumbled into the right room and touch the right wall thing the game seems to advance. There is no real skill involved to play this game. Its not as good as RE4 or RE5. The graphics are impressive I guess, but the levels and controls are bad. This is not a classic at all. I'm willing to bet this series will die out eventually.… Expand

    One of the best games i have ever played. I love Half life and FEAR series, but this something different. This is just you and loads of necromorf meat to blast.

    This game has it all: good scares, tons of gore, gallons of blood, great weapons, very nice story, scary enemies and huge old creepy ship to explore. At the end you kill the big bad boss and fly home. I just love it. I played    One of the best games i have ever played. I love Half life and FEAR series, but this something different.

    I played this five or more times. Second and third games feel a bit watered down, but this is a true gem. This is game that gives you that heavy feeling around your stomach, this is the game that makes you feel overwhelmed until the end. Please buy it and play it!    … Expand

Makes you craving for those power nodes, searching, making plans about what you wanna keep and what you sell away for that extra bit of money to afford another node. The limb cutter weapon and foot thumping are my two favorite features of this franchise. The suspense and surprise are good. Midnight? Feeling lonely? Nothing to do? Go to hell but don't try this!

    Bought this from Steam Sale. I had no expectations really.

    At first I was very disappointed with the PC version. It was a horrible port with game breaking bugs; like **** up physics when your FPS is unlocked. Or the Vsync locking the FPS at just 30. I needed a 3rd party software to get the FPS stay at 60 just to make the game playable. That also fixed the issues with mouse, which alone    Bought this from Steam Sale.

I needed a 3rd party software to get the FPS stay at 60 just to make the game playable. That also fixed the issues with mouse, which alone were making the game unplayable.

    Once I got actually started with the game I was hooked instantly. Every step felt dangerous and enemies couldn't be stopped with a single bullet to the head. Overall the game play was decent, but controls were a bit clunky. While I kinda dislike quick-time events and **** something could have been done about stomping enemies or punching them, it felt pretty random and frustrating at times.. the lack of control.

    There were some puzzles in this game. Some them were fun, but challenging and some were just bad; simple, but with annoying mechanics. Overall they added some nice variation to the game.

    The game looked decent for a 360 port...there were times though where I wished they would have allowed PC to have much higher shadow resolution for example, but it wasn't too annoying except in a couple of scenes.

    I really liked the Ishimura as a location. It was dark and industrial. I didn't really like how scripted everything was though. There were times you see enemies lurking, but they're flagged as invulnerable. They also always come from the same spot with the same timing, so if you died you just get frustrated to repeat the same scripted stuff.

    I'm not a huge lore-geek, but I thought the writing was of good quality. There were also tapes and notes from the NPCs to be found to add into that, for those who like to find more about the world.

    With all the issues in the rushed PC version I can't really give it more than 7. It was still worth the 4€ or whatever it costed, but at 50€ this game would have been very disappointing.    … Expand

    I really dont understand why critics like this game so much, its not that good. Controls are awkward until you dont get used to it, shooting is alright but what I really hate is that Isac is moving like a slug when aiming! Storyline is alright, linear, and the graphics are nice.

    Overall, Dead Space is an extraordinary game with tons of shock value and action to whet any fan's appetite for some time, and with a campaign that lasts a steady 10-12 hours, that’s plenty of time to get lost aboard the Ishimura.

    Dead Space is a potentially great game that's hamstrung by an attempt to completely ape a console controller with a mouse and keyboard. [Dec 2008, p.58]
