I had this on my PC for ages, launched it a few years ago and played 7 minutes until I dropped it. Now that the remake is only a few month away, I thought to myself that I should probably give this another try before the remake releases. And overall I really enjoyed it.

I'm not a big fan of EA for obvious reasons. But Dead Space is an exception. The atmosphere is great, the weapons are really unique and the creature design is awesome. I like that there is no HUD, everything you need to know you can see on Isaacs spacesuit and that really helps you immerse yourself into game. The only thing what pulled me out of it was that Isaac is completely silent, that felt kinda awkward. The encounters with the creatures are rather predictable, after a while you know when and where a monster drops from the ceiling or stands behind the corner and every few chapters there is this hentai noodle which graps you, so you have to shoot its weak point. The problem is that the controls are terrible on pc. The PC port in general seems terrible from what I've heard but I never played the console version. So I can't compare it.

But if you like atmospheric horror or sci-fi shooter you should give this a try. Let's hope the remake keeps the good parts and fixes the flaws
