Today’s game is Dead Space. I did start AC Brotherhood today (I’m loving it) but I wanted to take a breather as 2 Assassins Creed games back to back is a lot. So instead I committed to this. I’ve had it in my library for a while now and never got around to playing it. Well now is the time.
First I have to compliment the diegetic design. It’s hard to pull off in a way that’s good I feel like, but Dead Space really pulls it off.
As for the story. It gives me major Aliens vibes. I only watched it for the first time last year. So I’m not super well versed in Aliens lore but I’m liking what I’m seeing of Dead Space.
I already know the big twist, so I won’t talk much on that. So instead I’ll talk about the Necromorphs: Cutting off their limbs is so satisfying. I know it sounds deranged but there’s something satisfying about lining up a shot and slicing off a limb. Really nice feeling. I also have taken to proximity mine trapping vents and double tapping any creatures. I feel more like I’m the antagonist here to be honest. It’s fun though.
Anyways. I’ve made it close to the end of Chapter 3. The centrifuge was a bit of a struggle as I kept going the opposite way of where I had to go. But once I figured that out I made it out there a lot quicker and gave things a rest once I ran into the first exploder.
It's more heavily inspired by Event Horizon, if you like sci-fi horror go watch it.
Damn, another Sci-fi movie too watch. Honestly Sci-fi horror doesn't do a lot for me (The scariest thing to me in Alien was that the cat could die, for example), but i still love the experience. I'll have to queue up a watch party with my friend group
I don't care much for horror, but I like sci-fi, so I end up watching sci-fi horror films.
