Fantastic game, still runs a treat on Windows 11. Except you can't without patching the .exe with a community fix. EA have left in some broken arcane DRM with a 5 machine activation limit. If you change PCs or reinstall Windows more than that, that's it. Here's a dead link to a support page. Isn't it great being a paying customer? If EA gave half a damn, one dev could fix this in an afternoon. If Valve gave half a damn, they could force EA to fix it or else delist it. I highly recommend acquiring it elsewhere.

A Masterpiece Sequel to the Original Classic Dead Space 2008 game & this one for me personally is a 10 out of 10 in my book. I'll try & keep this review spoiler-free for the new players. What really introduced me to Dead Space in the first place was that time my younger sister downloaded & played the Demo for Dead Space 2 one Saturday morning on my PlayStation 3 back in early 2011. I was like, "What is that horrific sound I just woke up to???" Long & behold, the rest is history: Dead Space 2 became an unexpected special sci-fi survival horror game of all time & my favorite of the original trilogy, with the 2023 Dead Space Remake just very close second behind it. Dead Space 2 highly elevates from the Original Dead Space 2008 game, where we once again play as our favorite amnesiac paranoid CEC Engineer Isaac Clarke suffering from a unique form of dementia. This time, he is voiced by the man & legend himself Gunner Wright, giving Isaac Clarke a memorable voice performance & personality where we get to experience & feel Isaac Clarke's pain & personal mental hell with the Marker throughout Titan Station AKA The Sprawl, an entirely new location set on an extremely beautifully massive EarthGov space station metropolis built around the last fragment on one of Saturn's moons, has many new, unique, & diverse areas. 3 years later, after the first Dead Space event back on the USG Ishimura, Isaac Clarke finds himself once again in the middle of another Necromorph outbreak on The Sprawl alongside other surviving new characters such as fellow CEC Heavy Equipment Class 4 Pilot Ellie Langford & Senior Scientist now turned Dementia Patient Nolan Stross, as you fight through new disturbing Necromorph enemies ravaging Titan Station & at the same time experiencing Psychological Horror of your past coming to haunt you. Graphically, the game looks great & still holds up remarkably well today due to its exceptional lighting design, strong art direction, & rock-solid technical optimization. Advanced Lighting: The baked & dynamic lighting system creates deep shadows & striking contrasts that rival modern horror titles. Art Direction: Visceral Games focused heavily on cohesive industrial sci-fi environments, detailed suit designs, & gritty textures that mask the game's age. Gameplay is fantastic; it greatly improves upon the core aspects of said gameplay & weapon tools from the last game, where Dead Space 2 first introduces a full 360-degree directional zero-gravity flight control movement indoors & in space where you can now become a literal Spaceman flying/floating around in zero-G sections & don't need to point & aim at a surface to hop from one place to another anymore. This feature is carried over in Dead Space 3 & in the Dead Space 2023 Remake. Iconic repurposed mining weapon tools such as your heavily modified medical/tissue laser Plasma Cutter make a return in an all-new fashion alongside the Line Gun, Pulse Rifle, Contact Beam, Force Gun, Ripper & Flamethrower from the original game + 5 new weapons only in Dead Space 2: the Rivet Gun that allows you to basically staple a lot of bolts in enemy bodies, the Detonator that lets you plant dangerous high-damage laser-tripped mines onto any surface but be careful & don't get clumsy because I tripped & blew myself up by accident more than once like the goofball that I am, the Seeker Rifle that's like a powerful long-range sniper weapon when fully upgraded, the Javelin Gun that allows you to impale enemies into walls by firing actual spears & discharge a powerful electric shock damaging nearby enemies with your alternate fire mode & lastly, a very Special Secret Overpowered funny-looking weapon you unlock from beating Hardcore mode, the hardest difficulty in the game. Some of the weapons have their own Special Upgrades, which do extra amounts of damage to your enemies, & it has never been more fun dismembering Necromorphs in so many more various ways. The Kinesis Module gets a major overhaul; you'll do more than just grab objects with it. Trust me, it'll be a lifesaver for harder difficulty modes. You should utilize it more. Oh, faster melee & stomping attacks where you can hear Isaac cursing under his helmet that will never get old. Dead Space 2 also includes 4 new unique iconic suits: The CEC Engineering Suit, Security Suit, Vintage Suit & most iconic of all the Advanced Suit that was heavily marketed in the game's commercial PS3/XBOX 360 physical box art cover, promotional arts, screenshots, trailers, digital covers & hilarious parody videos like "Your Mom Hates Dead Space 2" & the Happy Holidays Isaac Clarke working at Visceral Games. After beating the game on any difficulty, you'll unlock new Schematics for you to find & collect on your second playthrough that will allow you to unlock Elite versions for each suit. Specific suits will provide you with unique passive bonuses, weapon damage buffs & armor upgrades rather than just cosmetic changes. You'll also unlock more suits depending on which difficulty modes you beat. I mainly just stack them by doing Zealot mode, second to last hardest difficulty, to Hardcore mode so I could get most of everything in one go. Dead Space 2 offers 5 game modes: Casual, Normal, Survivalist, Zealot & Hardcore mode. You should be aware that if you're attempting Hardcore mode, enemy health and damage scaling match the Survivalist difficulty, but ammo drops match Zealot, which becomes very scarce, so use your ammo & power nodes to upgrade your specifically selected weapons for this unforgiving playthrough VERY WISELY & you can only save three times across the entire game. Dying forces you back to your last manual save hours prior. NOTE: The Steam version of Dead Space 2 includes ALL the DLCs, EXCEPT the Dead Space: Severed two-chapter single-player DLC expansion that follows Sprawl security guard Gabe Weller & his wife, Lexine Murdoch, set 3 years after the events of Dead Space: Extraction. It appears Dead Space: Severed never made it to PC for some reason but still only on consoles like the PS3/XBOX 360 versions. All DLC suits & weapons will become available to you at the very beginning of the game once you visit your first store at the end of Chapter 1. It kind of messes with the vanilla progression of how Dead Space 2 is meant to be played, but I'm not complaining too much here honestly; you can just choose not to use any of the DLC advantages. If you need a pro tip for beating Hardcore mode, how I did it back on the PlayStation 3 & XBOX 360 was by taking full advantage of the DLCs that were available to me in the beginning of the game. Using only two primary weapons, I relied on the most is the Forged Plasma Cutter, which grants you +10% more damage than the standard plasma cutter, & the Bloody Force Gun, which grants you +10% Damage/+5% Speed on Secondary Fire, an additional +5% more damage boost for the Bloody Force Gun if you wear the Blood Vintage Suit DLC. From there on I memorized most of where the Necromorphs are going to spawn & attack me with years of experience. I mainly prioritize upgrading my Damage points for my two guns & Health upgrades at the Bench, & doing this method allowed me to beat Hardcore mode 4 times across other platforms! The regular Vintage suit also helps when you need a 10% discount at the store to buy more ammo, health packs, & power nodes! My advice: don't rush on Hardcore mode; take your time & strategize. USE KINESIS! It will help you save ammo! & Stasis are just as important! Any split-second reaction with Stasis will save your life, but you have to act FAST! Ending my review here, I know Glen Schofield had a very minimal role in the development of the sequel & it was mostly Visceral Games, but Visceral has proved themselves in making a Sci-Fi Horror Sequel Masterpiece. I would've absolutely loved a Dead Space 2 Remake by Motive Studios & experience a reimagined Titan Station after doing an incredible job on the Dead Space 2023 Remake.

I finished it in a couple of evenings. I wouldn't say the experience was exactly delightful, but the game holds up well for its age. It’s a shame there are no achievements, and for some unknown reason, in-game screenshots wouldn't work. Getting it running on modern hardware requires jumping through a few hoops just to make everything work. Rating: 7 out of 10.

За пару вечеров прошел. Не сказать, что чрезмерно рад, но игра в свои годы стоящая. Жалко, что ачивки не добавили, а также не делались скриншоты в игре по неизвестной причине. Чтобы начать играть на современном железе необходимо пройти небольшой круг АДА, чтобы все как-то заработало. Русскую озвучку ставить тоже надо самостоятельно, увы. Но я не делал этого- хватало русских субтитров. Оценка: 7 из 10.

В 3 раз прошел эту восхитительную игру. Это-хоррор моего детства. Именно с него я начинал играть в серию игр Dead Space-в 11 лет, на стареньком папином компе. С каждым прохождением мои ощущения ничуть не притупляются-я все также в полном восторге от этой игры! Продуманный, интересный и обоснованный сюжет, прописанные персонажи, хоррор, страшные локации, крутые костюмы, классная музыка, головоломки, потные места, ностальгия, а также огромное количество залипательного экшена-это все про Dead Space 2. Всем фанатам серии и хорроров обязательно к прохождению. Разрабы очень постарались над геймплейной составляющей. Локации не ощущаются скопированными и наштампованы, везде разные враги, а различные загадки с участием игровых фишек заставляют задуматься. Причем, четко разделена граница между уровнями сложности-на легком ты просто кайфуешь, максимально вникаешь в сюжет, на среднем-начинаешь заботиться о своих запасах и здоровье, а на тяжелом ты целиком сконцентрирован и идешь, испуганно целясь в каждую вентиляционную шахту. Игра является превосходным сочетанием хоррора, экшена, головоломки и приключения, дарит невообразимые ощущения и воспоминания и навсегда остается в сердце. Всем советую пройти её!

Still the best Dead Space. It's sad to know that EA had to abandon this franchise all because of their greed after the Dead Space remake. I would love to spend more hours in this game if they add some achievements to it.

Someone described this game as "whole house was mad". Can't disagree after experiencing so many raw set pieces back to back. This game felt like playing Mass Effect 2 after finishing first one. I would even assume some environmental artists were moved to develop Dead Space 2 because locations look both familiar and beautiful. We get to explore Unitology church which feels very unusual, Titan apartment complex overrun by creatures, even kindergarten which is even more unsettling for a space game. Also really loved how they refurbished Ishimura and returning to that ship didn't feel like memberberry, it was properly integrated into the story Everything felt more smooth, action packed and easier? Now let's be real, Dead Space turned into action with the 2nd game. Unlike 3rd game it just lacks the dead giveaway: enemy with a gun. And even then they almost introduced a human enemy in form of "swat team" This game is pretty much horror Uncharted. Despite different director leading the project and some deviations, I really loved how this game builds on the first one story-wise. Isaac is now a full on mental case but we also see him engineering more often: he knows about the vents, he can fix stuff, he can rewire stuff. Dude actually does his job this time. At some points the game goes a bit meta. While Dead Space 1 is a perfect game, perfect ending belongs to Dead Space 2 but again, only because of Dead Space 1. New enemies are 50/50. Hiding enemy is pretty cool idea and well implemented but why they added two more explosive creatures I have no idea. It made me play more careful and the playthrough more intense but on "zealot" difficulty it kinda gets on your nerves. Not only because you get one shotted but also because there is a hard cut between "you explode" and "you don't get any damage at all". I did enjoy the bullet scarcity on this difficulty though. New guns are okay, they feel more like literal guns and not tools but it makes sense considering the new location. But for some reason EA decided to bake DLC into the main game so you'll get a ton of free weapons and armors from the beginning which just sucks. Also there is console locked content in form of closed off rooms with audio logs and new suit which also sucks but you can install a mod that unlocks these rooms. Now that I read my review it might look like I have a lot of buts BUT I really enjoyed this game. Did you know that 60 million dollars was spent on this game? Not often you'll see publisher like EA putting a lot of their eggs in one basket for a horror game.
