This is a stupid game with nice graphics, cool monsters, an idiotic story and some complex but confusing weapon modification possibilities. It is basically Doom 3 with a worse story and fuckbag moneygrubbing microtransactions. Remember how everyone lambasted Doom 3 for relying almost entirely on the "monset in the closet" mechanic? Well that's all this game does too by about the fourth chapter. Monsters just jump out of nowhwere and you shoot them. It isn't scary in the slightest. In fact, it is mostly annoying and kind of gave me a headache. Sure, the other Dead Space entries sometimes did the same thing, but at least there the environment and the setting gave rise to some real tension. Here it is just -place, walk, monster-closet, shoot, bench, monster-closet or sometimes place, walk, monster-closet, shoot, surprise monster-closet AND bench. Any imagination this series once had has been sucked dry by the dreaded "franchise" moniker. Giving this game more than a 6 or a 7 for "competent monster-closet simulation with nice graphics, zero AI, and in-your-face microtrans" is fucking criminal.
