I played Dead Space 1 when it was new, and didn't like it. But I heard the sequel was better, and it's been 13 years, and it was on sale, so thought: why not.
Four hours into the game, here's why not:
- it's gross
- it's poorly written
- the interface is a bigger threat than the enemies
- it's literally one long twisted corridor - I almost forgot how bad mainstream FPS design was at the time
- it's predictable
- it's not scary at all
On the up side, it can no longer connect to its EA server.
