This game is sequel perfection. With an amazing horror atmosphere, great combat, and innovations to its predecessor, DeadSpace 2 perfectly delivers on what we love about the franchise, while giving us more to learn to love in the meantime. Storywise this game is great! Action, betrayal, and mystery will leave you eager to learn more, while the **** horror makes you want to turn tail and run. Please play this if you still somehow haven't.

[Copied from my old account] This game is the first coming back with a vengeance. It’s phenomenal. The developers took everything from the first game and made everything better. They upped the antics, the terror and the foreboding atmosphere, while also managing to fit in a much needed easier save mechanic.

And despite my fears and not believing in my ability to finish another horror game, I reached the end of this little gem. Following that logic, I’ve just finished the second chapter of the series. And let me tell you: this is exactly what we expect from a second entry — keep what was good in the first, replace what was bad, and add some new fun stuff! Dead Space 2 is clearly a gem worthy of the first. Of course, since I don’t have the remake, I played the original, so I needed a few mods to fix some visual issues, but it was truly a pleasure both visually and sonically. The game is relatively short, making it easy to jump into a second run, especially with its achievements.Honestly, it was a very positive experience, one that makes me want to eventually buy the third game. And who knows… maybe even the remakes!Highly recommended!

It's not a horror game because it's not scary unless you think predictable jump scares and constant noise is scary. It's an action game but not fun because half the enemies are just annoying and/or rehashes from the first game. They recycled most of the first game and it became monotonous after awhile. Look, another elevator. Look, another lock down arena with a horde of enemies. Look another QTE insta-kill event. Look, another easy but slow zero gravity puzzle. This franchise is dead for a reason (pun intended). Good riddance. Just play the remake of Dead Space. Don't bother with this uninspired sequel. The developers ran out of good ideas a long time ago. What a gigantic let down.

Fantastic game! I love this franchise and this is one of the best games in it!

Um dos melhores jogos da geração os gráficos são ainda mais lindos que o título anterior gameplay extremamente satisfatória e um enredo ainda melhor

A bloody masterpiece, from beginning to end this game is just perfect. The story and gameplay is far beyond its time and the horror is still effective. Still a masterpiece after 14 years and truly a timeless classic.

It's arguably better than the first "Dead Space". Developer Visceral Games refined the formula, added bigger action segments and gave Isaac a voice. In addition, the game features more weapons and suits, but less backtracking. Also, the graphics were improved and there are seamless transitions in-between chapters. The online competitive modes are fun, but inessential. Overall, I would rate this with a 9 out of 10.

Recomendable, aunque creo que bajo su calidad a comparación al 1, pero es buen juego, buena historia, buen terror, un poco de acción, en si jueguenlo

Best railway shooter ever +++action ++horror +eye surgery +dead +space -no cons

Just beat this game. By far the best horror game i’ve ever played, it beats the first Dead Space, RE4, and RE7 for me. Great voice acting, story is more engaging, more fast paced (barely gets boring) and most of all, for a game that came out more than a decade ago, it’s genuinely scary at times. 10/10 will be playing again, i’m sad that it ended.

Sem palavras é um dos meus jogos favoritos, não só pelo gênero terror mais pelo universo do jogo que nos trâmite uma experiência diferente. Jogo é excepcional, ótimo!!! Amo primeiro jogo mais segundo é melhor, ainda mais por ter uma DLC de qualidade, DlC é curta mais gostei bastante !!!

Even more anxiety-inducing than the original, if possible. Incredible levels and set-pieces, scary as hell monsters, paced to perfection. A remarkable experience.

Hermoso juego, la primera vez que lo jugué me encanto, todo lo del anterior juego lo llevaron más lejos sin pasar lo exagerado refinaron las mecánicas del anterior y lo hace 10 veces más disfrutable a la hora del combate, se siente la dificultad ya q en el anterior era muy fácil incluso en dificultades altas,en pocas palabras una joya de juego

Dead Space 2 takes survival horror and injects more action. It opens players up to its universe, and will leave you in awe during some of its set pieces. While it is not an improvement from the original, it expands ideas from the first to make a highly enjoyable experience.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Oh, this game, why did I play you so late? It's great, I played it without getting bored, I'm so angry at myself, this game is a masterpiece, and they compare it to Mass Effect, it's like a joke.

I, Jesus Christ, do not condone Unitology. To participate in the church of Unitology is blasphemy and heresy.

The perfect sequel to a really **** game. I love how they prioritise fast paced action over the lacklustre horror aspect of the original. Perfect game all around

Dead Space 2 is that rare kind of sequel that not only embodies what made the first game an impactful horror but refines for a faster, smoother experience. Every area has been tastefully expanded with already great gameplay being strengthened and old tactics freshened to keep the player on their toes. Even then, just as the player settles into a rhythm, sound design will creep up behind you to remind you that you're never, ever, safe. Dead Space perfected what a survival horror game should be, but Dead Space 2 inscribed the series in gaming history. It showed the world a winning formula that I've rarely seen since and its absence is sorely missed.

Such an amazing game that adds on from the first from weapon mechanics and the zero gravity sections. Replay this game so many times and plan to more in the future

Dead Space 2 is an overall solid sequel, though it somewhat misses the mark of what made its predecessor so special. Dead Space 2 still features the same strong gameplay loop as Dead Space, but it also has more of a focus on Uncharted-like cinematic set-pieces, which feel a bit out of place. Furthermore, EA made the unwise decision to attempt to flesh out silent protagonist Issac by giving him dialogue. The result is a protagonist who now feels even more bland and forgettable than when he was a literal blank slate.

This may very well be one of the best survival horror game to exist, maybe even more so than Resident Evil 4 (possibly both) and Silent Hill 2 (maybe). The original Dead Space was something special and its remake was top-notch (which I also gave a 10/10 to), but Dead Space 2 took it to a whole new level in every way. (We won’t talk about the massive disappointment that is Dead Space 3)

Probably the best survival horror game to ever exist. Hopefully we get a remake. It improves apon the first Dead Space(2008) in almost every single way with Isaac talking allowing you to connect with him and the overall story. It also features much more big set pieces then the original did this includes better animations for deaths. The multiplayer PvP was fun also.

I really loved the game one of my favorites,a perfect game to get some good scares

Simply the Best of series. Deservs a remake.

Dead Space 2 is a sequel while it is not as good as the first one, the fact that Visceral Games has understand that they can make some fantastic games, even if the sequel isn’t as good as DS1. Great gameplay, Isaac now has a voice, an intriguing story, fun mechanics, and overall, it’s a nice game that improves upon the original in a lot of ways. I’m giving it a 9.5 out of 10.

Sequel to Resident Evil: The Next Generation with a larger play area, more elaborate missions, optional side missions and some cool new weapons and upgrades. On occasion combat can be a little frustratingly tricky, but otherwise a beautifully designed, atmospheric and creepy survival horror in space.

Final Thoughts: Dead Space 2 is that rare kind of sequel that not only embodies what made the first game an impactful horror but refines for a faster, smoother experience. Every area has been tastefully expanded, strengthening already great gameplay and providing new and returning players with an insanely intense horror experience. Dead Space perfected what a survival horror game should be, but Dead Space 2 inscribed it in gaming history. It showed the world a winning formula that I’ve rarely seen since and its absence is sorely missed (Dead Space: Remake provides some hope).

I actually didn't play this game on release. The Dead Space remake was the first Dead Space game I've played, and I liked it so much that I went back and bought Dead Space 2.... And I have to say... Dead Space 2 is phenomenal! One of the best games I've ever played. I didn't expect to like it as much as the remake (just because it's an old game), but honestly I might like it even more than the remake. I finished the campaign multiple times and enjoyed it every single time. Isaac is so freaking likable in this game, and Ellie too! I really hope they remake this one too!

A LOVELY SPACEWALK AMONG NECROMORPHS BEFORE WE BEGIN: The game has been completed multiple times and in all difficulty levels present, as well, the platinum trophy has been achieved. It has also been tested at both 30 fps and 60 fps. EXTRACTION: Unlike its predecessor, Dead Space 2 throws the player immediately into the middle of the action. In the first few minutes of the game, the story of the original is briefly hinted at with a nice cutscene following that brings up the beautiful necromorphs that clearly begin to slaughter anyone breathing inside the facility. Clearly, as is the first chapter, a chasing sequence will begin from which the player must escape unharmed, or nearly so, and then learn the game's first basic mechanics useful for mere survival. These are brilliantly placed in rapid sequence, making their learning and combined use, much more intuitive. FLYING THROUGH THE SPACE: The gameplay of the game, as an excellent sequel to an already established still excellent game should do, brings back all those mechanics already present in the original, adding, as one would expect, new weapons, enemies and puzzles. The fluidity of movement has been greatly improved, making both dodging enemies, and catching them, from enemies, faster and smoother (Small note to Xbox Game Pass and PC, which make with 60 fps gameplay borderline to modern gaming). One of the big differences is the improvement of the Zero-G system, now adjusted for smoother and less restricted free movement, and consequently the addition of combat sequences and puzzles appropriate to the new mechanics. The presence of new weapons of course is not to be ruled out, including the Javelin, a powerful spear-shooter capable of piercing enemies and then detonating them; the Seeker rifle, a high-caliber sniper rifle; the force gun, useful for throwing enemies against walls and keeping them well away and the Detonator, a simple grenade launcher. The game then has several difficulty levels as in its predecessor, including the infamous Hardcore Mode, which, however, will now be tied to a maximum of 3 possible saves for the player, making it a great challenge for any player. The reward for this feat will be the world-famous Pew Pew gun, also known as Devil's Horns or Hand Cannon, a baseball cheer mitt capable of one-shotting virtually any creature in the Dead Space world. The new enemies are many, and they go to highlight everything that might have been missing on Dead Space. THE SUN NEVER SHINES: Visually Dead Space 2 also comes across as more arrogant than the original. By not being tied to a single spaceship design, the designers had much more field in which to express their talents, creating huge space cities, moon bases, deep space flight sections, and even a few goodies for those who played the original. The graphics turn out great for the year of release, and because of that it has managed not to age. Let alone the wonderful designs of the new weapons, characters, and enemies, which always look impeccable. SUFFOCATING SILENCE: Everything that is already present in Dead Space 1 applies here. To make a long story short, the audio is always perfectly dedicated to what it's supposed to achieve, whether it's the suffocating silence of space, or the swarming noises of necromorphs in the ducts, or the heartbreaking screams of dying commoners, Dead Space 2 always gets it right, setting the atmosphere that every horror game should have. BUT WHY 9? PROS: Dead Space 2 is the sequel in every way to its predecessor. Valueting the original an 8, cannot help but getting the sequel a 9, improving on or maintaining virtually all of the merits and eliminating most of the flaws. The gameplay is still fun even after multiple runs, even just dismembering necromorph bodies is highly addictive. The story is a continuation of the first, and it is much more extensive, explaining facts unknown in the first and giving the basis for the third. Objectively Dead Space 2 is a great game in the Horror genre and an expansion of the already established first Dead Space. CONS: The path toward Action. This is what you feel when playing Dead Space 2, that middle ground between a true horror and a third-person action shooter. Obviously for those who have played the third chapter it will be clear why, it bridges the two genres. This is obviously a flaw that , however extreme, led to the downfall of the third chapter, and the subsequent closure of the development team, Visceral Games. Also, a second flaw, the game turns out, because of its size and setting, to be much more alive. This might be a pro for some, but in a horror game where the loneliness of the space is the focal point it goes to take away that side of eeriness that the first one had. RATING Gameplay: 10 Music:8 Story: 9 Horror: 8.5 _

Score: 9.5/10 As a sequel, Dead Space 2 expands on the gameplay that came before it. The Zero-G sections are a lot better and the gameplay feels as smooth as butter. The game is filled with iconic moments and set pieces. Although I like these, I felt that the game focused a little too much on action. It still retained its horror feel, but it had a less horror theme than the first game did. Other than that, it's still an amazing game.

Dead Space 2 is a very good game that lacks one thing that its predecessor had. The thing that is missing is the feeling of atmosphere and horror that the first game did so well. In the very beginning of the game they actually do a very good job of making you feel vulnerable and have tension, this however is quickly ruined by rooms being too dark to actually look at the terrifying things around you and the lack of sound actually being used to scare the player or make them feel tense. The gameplay has been improved to make the controls less clunky which makes the combat and weapons feel very fun. The crafting system is pretty much the same and is just as fun and cool as the first game. The characters and story are great and flow really well from beginning to end. The choice to make Isaac talk in the second game didn't hurt the game much but did subtract from the horror atmosphere aspect. Overall, this game is great and feels like an awesome action sci-fi shooter that's fun to play but mostly lacks that horror atmosphere that the original did so perfectly.

While not as good as the first game it's still an amazing experience and a must play i love how this game expands the story and world of Dead Space

Если быть кратким - это фантастическая игра. Почему же тогда 7/10?. Я чувствую, что разработчики действительно прислушались к критике, которую фанаты высказали в адрес первой игры, улучшив многие механики. По моему мнению, им не хватало в этом продолжении, так это оставаться верными корням первой игры. Темные, тесные коридоры с небольшим пространством, которые давят на тебя своей атмосферой, вечная паранойя игрока, что в любой момент он может быть в опасности. Я уверен, что есть геймеры, которые жаловались на отсутствие разнообразия локаций в первой игре, но теперь, когда они получили эту гигантскую космическую станцию, довольны ли они результатом? Действительно ли это заставляло их бояться еще больше и съеживаться при мысли о том, что прямо за углом может появиться еще один некроморф готовый выскочить? Я не знаю.

Ratings for the time period it came out Story : 9 Gameplay : 8 Graphics : 9 Fun Factor : 10 Environment interaction : 6 Sound effects : 10 Overall Immersion : 8

Esse jogo é foda p kralho, só joguem. O melhor da trilogia, joguei ele via retro, n me arrependo em nada

Sci Fi horror classic, reignited horror gaming in a novel setting with a nice twist, good weapon crafting system and awesome armour suits, Resident Evil meets Alien, must play title.

One of the best sequels ever made. It ups the ante while keeping the tone of the original. The story and characters are so well-done. I was skeptical about Visceral giving Isaac a voice, but it feels so justified because of how likable his character is. The gameplay has way more options than the original and the zero gravity is such an improvement. This is one of the best horror games in recent memory.

Visceral Games in 2011 set the bar high for all future survival horror games, because Dead Space 2 is an almost perfect sequel. Tension, stress and the accompanying ubiquitous fear begin in the first minute of the game, and with an intense finale they last until the very end of the game. Emotions, emotions and more emotions. This noun describes how you feel while playing Dead Space 2. At the same time, this dose of emotions is a truly destructive mixture. Anxiety, fear, hate, stress, a sense of hopelessness, constant struggle and harassment are just a few epithets among the whole lot. Chapter by chapter through the eyes of Isaac Clarke, we watch the Titan Space Station plunging into ever greater chaos. And it becomes a feast for the senses and a challenge for our adrenal glands. The audio-visual setting once again stands on a high level, exemplary for all horror movies. It is brutal, bloody, detailed and ghastly. The enemy models are terrifying. One of the most disgusting, hideous creatures in the history of video games. Almost everyone attacks our protagonist with a piercing roar. Playing on a high level of difficulty is not a challenge, it is well-balanced, but each encounter with a series of opponents requires a large percentage of your focus and reflexes to get out of the fight unscathed. The plot is a direct continuation of the first part and is divided into 15 different chapters that will not let the player get bored. Thanks to the audio files scattered here and there, we get to know the macabre history of the station members by delving into more and more turmoil. In Dead Space 2, we get more of everything. And the symbolic return to the decontaminated USG vessel Ishimura - to the place where it all began - is an additional plus for the game. It is difficult for me to say whether I can recommend this title, because it is not a production for everyone. What more sensitive people will not be able to get through the real cosmic horrendum. However, for people with strong nerves and a strong psyche, the game will be an iconic work. A nightmarish revelation. 9/10

Dead Space 1 is a fantastic game and while I think this follow up falls a little short of the original its still a great game. The gun play is still great and there are more weapons to try out. I really like some of the new enemy types the ones that peek around corners I feel are a highlight. And visually the game still looks appealing to this day. I think that the narrative is a little week the twist early on just feels like a rehash of the first game. Later on Isaac and Shelly grow a strong attachment which felt kind of forced. And the final boss of the game while being narratively fitting for the end boss it just isn't very fun to fight I felt. And finally a common complaint about dead space 2 is that its a lot less scary than the fist. And I do agree on that a little bit but I think that the real issue stems from the difficulty. Where normal mode is just to easy while hard is just a little to stingy with the supplies. Now that could be me but when I played in hard mode the game felt a lot more scary than it would of been other wise. But its hard to recommend that you first play on hard mode because the later parts of the game can get real difficult with what feels like no supplies at points. While the normal mode just gives you way to much ammo and health. I think over all the game is still great it defiantly deserves the must play status and if you've played it yet then you should fix that.

A worthy successor to the first game. Sure, Isaac handles like a truck and there's something just not quite right with his movement controls, but the horror is there in spades and the BEST weapon in video game history (my beloved plasma cutter). The monsters are more of the same from the first game and it would have been nice to see some innovations, but if you liked the first game and just wanted more, Dead Space 2 is right here for you. A quick word about difficulty. I played it on easy mode and regrettably, I think that was a big mistake. Much of the first game's horror is there in abundance but (on easy mode), the stakes were not that high because failure was pretty much only down to some of the short, confusing environmental cut scenes.

La mejor entrega de la trilogía con buena variedad de enemigos, armas, situaciones de terror.

Когда смотрешь обзоры Метакритика про Маст-хев, волей-неволей задумываешься - а всё ли у людей с мозгами в порядке, или действительно легенды про чемоданы от ЕА не врут? Но как бы то там ни бы ло, игра мне понравилась еще меньше, чем прошлая часть. Мы пошли по пути максимальных упрощений и опусов. Хоррор был вытеснен экшном, остался только антураж. Сюжет немощен и слаб, логики у поступков персонажей почти не осталось в угоду причин к экшону, типичный американский подход. Мини-игра со взломом есть, всего одна, хотя в Игнишне было 3 мини- игры на взлом, и все разные. Хоть оружие новое добавили, но это ничто по сравнению со слабым сюжетом, корридорным типом геймплея и экшном там, где он не должен быть.

Just played this game for the first time and I loved it! Haven't played the first or third one but remember the hype it had back when it came out in 2011. **** can hold it's own 8 years later the way this one did, I couldn't imagine what it was like when it first released.

The best of game-horror, that I played in my life! I have finished the game three times
