Why is everyone raving about Dead Space?

[Euphoria14]

I enjoyed it because I am a sci-fi horror fan. Big Time.

In terms of atmosphere, it was great at the start but I agree it did start to become repetitive. Go hit this switch, go to next room, shoot the baddies. Next chapter. Rinse and repeat.

Still even with that I still found that I enjoyed the game but another point I agree with that many others have mentioned is also how the game can get you at first, like when your first see a monster jumped into the wall, climb up the pipes and then somehow come down from the ceiling and be behind you. At first that freaked me out. After a while though it does become expected.

I have not finished the game though, I have trouble with that these days, I can't finish anything.

Sometimes it is also way too damn dark. I hate the main characters space suit.

Still though, I enjoyed what I have played so far.

 

I want a 2KBoston game (Bioshock) set in space. After playing Bioshock, I feel they are the masters of atmosphere. I was on the edge of my seat the moment I started playing that game.
