I really can’t decide; there’s some built in momentum because OMG MY CHILDHOOD among zoomers and such but it also feels bleak and deflated and is chasing a weary gimmick.

      I never played past the second game because it has a happy ending where isaac gets away safe with his new friend :)

      if i was a gaming youtuber i would play every game including like the mobile games and the wii rail shooter and do a video called STRATEGIC DISMEMBERMENT & HAUNTOLOGY: A Dead Space Deep Dive Series Retrospective and it’s 3 hours long, but i’m not that cool

        That’s probably for the best.

        The lack of a jump scare at the ending, to contrast with the first game, actually made the moment perfect, too.

          That ending is one of the few times I’ve laughed at a horror game because the developers meant it to be funny and not 'cos’ve, like, an attempted scare that didn’t work or something.
