Dead Space - A Masterpiece of Sci-Fi Horror
The moment I realized Dead Space was special wasn't during a jump scare or a boss fight – it was during a quiet moment when I heard something skittering in the vents above me. This wasn't just another horror game; it was a masterclass in tension, where every shadow and sound could mean death.
Let me share a moment that captures the essence of Dead Space: I was low on ammo, trying to conserve my last few shots, when I heard a necromorph behind me. Instead of shooting, I had to strategically dismember it with my last plasma cutter round. That's Dead Space – making every shot count in the most horrifying way possible.
