Geez man... This game takes the whole Dead Space experience to a whole new level. Its... apotheotic to say the least. You finish the game awestruck, like if you had completed a monumental task. Its hard to explain. Story So basically the game starts some time after the end of the first game, with Isaac being confined in an unknown facility and you soon found out that you, Isaac was captured by the Unitology Church and kept under their control while they use the inforation contained in your brain to build a new Marker, this time in a human colony in one of Saturns moons. As usual, all hell breaks loose and necromorphs start to swarm the place and kill everyone. In the middle of the chaos, Isaac starts to remember what he has done and starts to feel guilty. He then decides to put and end to this new Marker that he helped build. Highlights: -- Combat in this game is much more intense and satisfying than in DS1 -- The part where you get to visit an actual cathedral of the Unitology crazy cult is amazing Technical State -- Unfortunately, the game doesnt run well on modern machines (which seems to be the case of 99% of old games soldo on steam btw). I had the game crash to desktop many times, especially when your fighting groups of enemies on large areas like the shopping mall sections. I looked for solutions and found out that the game seems to have a problem with modern pcs with many cpu cores, so you probably gonna have to download some fanmade patch to allow the game to use all your cpu cores. That didnt solve the problem for me, but reduced the amout of crashes by a large margin. Keep that in mind. Conclusion Overal this game sure DELIEVERS! Its actually a lot better that the first game. Best scifi horro game that ive ever played... so far. 10/10 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3492949415

Dead Space 2 is even better than Dead Space 1. It has all of the good things the first game has and builds upon them, has almost none of the bad ones, the graphics are better, Isaac now actually has a personality, the game has many setpiece sequences and the gameplay is faster, gorier and even more fun. It's one of those games that I consider a perfect sequel.

✅✅✅✅I really liked the game itself, great graphics, action elements with great sound, already known from the first part of Dead Space, and like it or not it really creates a great atmosphere. The creators improved the hero's controls, improved camera movements and added some different varieties of Necromorphs. The plot is very good, I liked the ending, it's a great twist and a surprise. Okay, time to sum it up and give an overall rating. ✅Our hero Isaac Clarke has been given a voice. ✅The developers made more armor and more interesting weapons. ✅References to Dead Space 1. ✅Great plot. ✅In many cases it can be quite scary. ✅Perfectly preserved atmosphere. ✅More interesting places to visit and, of course, kill necromophs. ✅The graphics are pleasing to the eye. ✅Phenomenal soundtrack, allowing you to completely immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the game. ✅An unexpected twist in the last mission. ✅Audiology and text logs found in the game allow us to learn the history of some people. ✅Great action throughout the game. ✅Nicely introduced logical puzzles. ✅Slight increase in difficulty level. ✅The atmosphere in the game is very good. ✅And of course, a big plus is the carnage in the game. ➖No Co-op ➖The development of the character in relation to the cross is long
