Those who are unsure about Isaac talking more often shouldn’t be worried. The once silent protagonist now engages in dialogue with other characters and this makes Isaac a much more appealing character overall. He struggles with dimensia and his dead girlfriend haunts him throughout the course of his adventure. When we catch up with Isaac Clarke in Dead Space 2, he’s still trying to make peace over his girlfriend’s death from the previous installment. The story itself is fleshed out more in the sequel. Dead Space 2 has struck the same cord the first one did and often times plays the note louder.

Has their winning formula proven itself in the series’ second outing? Visceral Games has shown that they can stand neck-to-neck with Capcom and the Resident Evil Series. Fans of the first Dead Space have revisited the iconic USG Ishimura time and time again to experience the horrors that lay within and further upgrade their gear.

EA who’s normally entrenched in “go-to” franchises like Madden and the Battlefield series, took a gamble with a new IP and it paid off. It successfully combined survival-horror elements with a dark sci-fi setting.

When the first Dead Space was released, it was hailed as one of the scariest games in recent memory.
