Your headshots don't matter aboard the USG Ishimura. This feeling of insecurity is paired with a satisfying combat system that Dead Space wouldn't feel the same without. Even in rooms with Save Stations and Stores, you can’t be sure that a Lurker or Slasher won't appear. There are no safe spaces, and there is no escape from the USG Ishimura.

Dead Space is a test of Isaac’s patience and resilience, and as you reach the third act of the game, you can tell that he’s wearing thin.

In the same vein as Alien: Isolation, there is something so claustrophobic about being marooned in outer space the immediate threat of body-horror aliens, the religious fanatics encouraging them to feed, and this huge vessel with a myriad of broken… everything. These alien horrors, alongside undertones of religious fanaticism, make the USG Ishimura one of the most terrifying settings in the survival horror genre.

As you hop aboard the USG Ishimura and into the suit of Dead Space protagonist, Isaac Clarke, you’ll unearth terror like never before in the form of Necromorphs.
