    Игра очень хорошая, но Айзека как будто прокляли, везде какие-то ловушки и все время нужно что то включать, со временем игра становится предсказуемой, но тем не менее игра мне очень понравилась, буду работать над прохождением 2 и 3 части. Моя оценка 8/10.Игра очень хорошая, но Айзека как будто прокляли, везде какие-то ловушки и все время нужно что то включать, со временем игра становится предсказуемой, но тем не менее игра мне очень понравилась, буду работать над прохождением 2 и 3 части.

    Great game. Not very scary, it just relies on jumpscares all the time and after a while you start expecting them and they don't scare you anymore.

    Dead Space was a near perfect gaming experience on the PC. I liked the environment, story, playable character, the truly disgusting enemy types and most of all the splatter fest combat. All possible with a array of fun and lethal upgradeable weaponry. Not outright scary, but very spooky, weird, freaky and creepy full of tense brooding atmosphere.

Dead Space really nailed down that sense of being, trapped, isolated and hunted on the edge of distant space beyond all hope and reason.… Expand

    I played this game in 2017 and I would say that it is the one of the best horror game Ive ever played. The graphics is still very good but the greatest strength of this game is the environment and sound effect.

    Health and other information is always available to see, but its not bolted to the upper left corner which allows the player to focus on what matters, namely where they are shooting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Загалос процитую відгук в Steam:
    "Игроки в Outlast и похожые игры: пук-среньк не увибай страшна
    Игроки в Dead Space: ТЫ ЩАС ПИЗДЫ ПОЛУЧИШЬ ЗА ТО ЧТО Я ОБОСРАЛСЯ"

    Атмосфера заїбись. Йдеш і очікуєш засади із любого вент люка. Першу половину гри проходиш на одному подиху. Далі вже не настільки весело: на початку тобі не хватає місця в інвентарі через перший рівень костюму, а після половини гри у тебе місце є, а обойми швидко закінчуються, так як моби починають брати кількістю, а босси затяжними битвами. (Ніщо не зрівняється із тим коли ти ВИПАДКОВО пішов на перший босс файт із: плазмовим різаком із 6 зарядами, широким плазмовим різаком, який помалу стріляє і має 5 зарядів, вогнеметом, яким треба в притул до дальнобійного босса йти, і метачем циркулярних пил, снаряди якої навіть не долітають до босса — вот веселощі). Ну і бувають моменти, коли навіть на середньому рівні складності у тебе горить жопа через затянутість завдання (та ж турель на метеорити і октопуса, чи босс в Гідроніці), легендарні завдання із категорії "Айзек піди відремонтуй, піди убий, врятуй нас, розберись з" і передбачуваний сюжет із галюцинаціями (хотя поворот сюжета із членами екіпажу я не очікував). Загалом на оцінку негативно вплинули геймплейні моменти. А так, "Айзек зроби нас єдиним". Піду попробую другу частину, поки підпкиска EA Access за 1 бакс не пропала.    … Expand

    Dead Space is the perfect mix of action and horror and it remains being one of the scariest games out there, the premise is extremely easy "a rescue mission that turns into a fight for survival".

    The main point is the setting and ambiance, space... on a desolated ship that is infested with monsters. The sound and environments are spooky and the game makes you feel unease and that there's something waiting for you in the next corner.
    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

    A día de hoy, puedo decir que pocos juegos me han hecho sentir tanto miedo y tensión como Dead Space, es completamente recomendable para cualquier persona amante del terror, su ambientación de ciencia ficción en el espacio es digna de ser recordada durante toda la vida, sea para bien o para mal, una vez juegues a esta obra maestra del terror es por seguro que no la podrás olvidar.

    One of the best survival horror games of all times.
    Story is fine.
    Atmosphere is really good.
    Gameplay is really good with the dismemberment system.
    Inventory management is required.

    A true horror experience.

    Only complaint is with the PC version which introduces game breaking bugs.
    If your framerate is too high, bugs.
    If you're playing above 1080p, bugs.

    One of the best single-player shooters of its age, you can cut off any limb of enemy and it feels really immersing and natural. A spooky game with a soul not like its successors.

    Прошел игру в 2020 году и поразился от того, как можно было пропустить такую игру, а ещё больше поразился от того, как хорошо она играется и хорошо смотрится. После недавно пройденного Resident Evil 2 Remake эта игра имела схожее ощущение только с более гнетущей атмосферой и иным сеттингом, а RE2 я просто обожаю. Спустя столько времени не уверен, что можно что-то новое об игре сказать.Прошел игру в 2020 году и поразился от того, как можно было пропустить такую игру, а ещё больше поразился от того, как хорошо она играется и хорошо смотрится.

Great idea for health indicator, and all other details, like mutated people. I like the psychotic theme the game has. Amazing!!! Only bad thing is the repeating attacks, which become boring over time.… Expand

    Один из лучших хорроров своего времени. Игра шедевр, сюжет - графика, на то время просто завораживала. 9/10 обязательна для прохождения и тем более нужен ремастер всех трех частей.

    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]
