So you chop off limbs, sure, but chopping off limbs in Dead Space serves a purpose specific to the series. It's all about enemy management rather than wholesale enemy destruction. You cut off a monster's legs or use stasis to slow it down. Much like Alan Wake's flashlight-weak enemies or Halo's Hunters, Dead Space features combat that is about managing threats rather than pointing at enemies with a gun and clicking until they die. Unlike those types of enemies in traditional shooters, body shots aren't enough to kill them. Dead Space features enemies that charge to attack you. I completed the game on normal mode once and didnt upgrade the Force Gun though.mainly focus on my rig and stasis to max. Alt fire is good against those acid spitting ones too. Limb-severing is of vital importance as well, but not simply as a cool feature. I find that the Force Gun is my 'most used' weapon in the gun since it works like a shotgun, blasting necromorphs which always run up to me.

The level design complements this, restricting movement without feeling artificial and draconian.

Instead of feeling like you're stumbling around in a bad dream, you're very much in control, but you're no ninja-you've got a feeling of weight and mass. 'The game's feel is important too: Dead Space makes you feel like a tank without giving you the horrible tank controls traditionally associated with horror games. And while he prefers Dead Space 2, he gets what made it special: Years back, critic GB Burford wrote an excellent analysis of what makes Dead Space tick at Kotaku.

The mixture of excitement and terror is a feeling I'll never forget.) (It's no surprise, then, my favorite moment from Dead Space 2 is re-boarding the Ishimura.
