Dead Space 2 is PEAK 3rd Person Action-Horror at its finest moment.

I remember renting Dead Space from Hollywood video and seeing that hud for the first time really felt next gen at the time

Dead Space 1 is the best one in the series. But it’s more survival horror than action horror.

This.

I liked Dead Space 1 the best.

EA screwed the series up with DS3 and then closed the studio, EA is trash.

Dead space 1 was better in a more traditional horror sense but dead space 2 was terrifying in a different way.

Is wasn't about creepy environments and anticipating jump scares, it was more about the intense nature of the combat. The feeling of constantly being overwhelmed was terrifying imo.

I dont know what they were trying to do with the third game.

Dead Space 2 is one of the greatest sequels of all time.

The combat/control improvements and the way they wove the narrative with the gameplay was super dope.

If you haven't played Alien Isolation, play it tonight. There are no jump scares, it's legit scary. Not as much action and somewhat repetitive, but it's damn good, better than Dead Space

If you want the GOAT scary experience play Alien Isolation with VR

DS1 and 2 are two of the greatest games ever made.

Replaying this series and Dead Space 2 just fukking stands out as the most memorable action horror experience since the last time I've played this game. It is fantastic.

I'm surprised how little Action-Horror is catered to be honest. I guess Action Horror is the hardest genre to find balance, because even the game to start it all, Resident Evil 4, was uneven.

Wish we could get another mainstream AAA Action Horror series, man...

I HATE horror games.

HATE THEM.

Yet I played Dead Space 2 from start to finish. I couldn't put it down, the story grabbed me (I never played the first one, just watched some videos).

The main character wasn't even battle hardened after the first game. Dude felt very relatable. Stomp on enemies enough and he starts screaming. I screamed with him sometimes like fuuuccck

Props to the team to make it easy for people like me who didn't play the first game.

The combat was amazing, I always felt like I was in control. If I died it was totally my fault. They paced out the jump scares and that boss fight with that monster in space.

MY god

They dulled the sound and all you could hear clearly was Isaac breathing heavy., trying to control himself from freaking the hell out

I was scared the entire time

But I wanted to see Isaac through to the end


I told myself: I'm glad I don't have to deal with that cramped ass Ishimura ship from the firs-

"Go back to the Ishimura"

....


FUUUCCK

Wimpering the entire section

On my GOTY list.

Im scared

See it through

Backwards compatible and available on Gamepass I think.

Cop a cheap disk at Rapestop or download if you got Gamepass. The first two are wonderful experiences.

They on EA access
