An incredibly atmospheric and disturbingly gruesome deep-space adventure that will haunt your dreams and leave you begging for more.

Dead Space is a fairly linear affair that will take most gamers a little over ten hours to complete. However, it is one hell of a ride.

IGN review logo
87/100
score

Call it science fiction survival horror, but Dead Space does the genre proud with an engaging story; action that's tense, fast-paced and extremely violent; as well as atmospheric qualities that will get under your skin and make you jump.

Dissecting Dead Space's Grotesque Visuals with Art Director Ian Milham "For the Necromorphs, we went straight to human anatomy and trauma for reference. We have reference image folders that half the team doesn't have the stomach to look in."
