Dead Space 2 is even better than Dead Space 1. It has all of the good things the first game has and builds upon them, has almost none of the bad ones, the graphics are better, Isaac now actually has a personality, the game has many setpiece sequences and the gameplay is faster, gorier and even more fun. It's one of those games that I consider a perfect sequel.

Fantastic game but EA has not fixed the issue with the modern PCs having more cores than this game intended which causes is to fail upon launch. There are fixes available online but sad EA is selling something not functional until you fix it.

✅✅✅✅I really liked the game itself, great graphics, action elements with great sound, already known from the first part of Dead Space, and like it or not it really creates a great atmosphere. The creators improved the hero's controls, improved camera movements and added some different varieties of Necromorphs. The plot is very good, I liked the ending, it's a great twist and a surprise. Okay, time to sum it up and give an overall rating. ✅Our hero Isaac Clarke has been given a voice. ✅The developers made more armor and more interesting weapons. ✅References to Dead Space 1. ✅Great plot. ✅In many cases it can be quite scary. ✅Perfectly preserved atmosphere. ✅More interesting places to visit and, of course, kill necromophs. ✅The graphics are pleasing to the eye. ✅Phenomenal soundtrack, allowing you to completely immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the game. ✅An unexpected twist in the last mission. ✅Audiology and text logs found in the game allow us to learn the history of some people. ✅Great action throughout the game. ✅Nicely introduced logical puzzles. ✅Slight increase in difficulty level. ✅The atmosphere in the game is very good. ✅And of course, a big plus is the carnage in the game. ➖No Co-op ➖The development of the character in relation to the cross is long
