Dead Space was a prime example of the cinematic storytelling experience that drove many of the best games in the 2000s. The game’s detailed setting was both atmospheric and terrifying, a perfect background to the survival-horror storyline of undead space monsters.
You play as Isaac Clarke, an engineer who must survive when his mining ship is attacked by space-zombies known as Necromorphs. The game’s combat uses a system called “strategic dismemberment,” where Isaac must use his improvised arsenal to slice off the arms, legs, and other extremities of his alien assailants.
