I really wasn't interested in this game before a friend recommended me it. I will definitely revisit this game because I didnt do 90% of the side missions and rushed after chapter 10 cause i just wanted to see what'd happen. This game is just plot after plot, you're one. You don't meet any friendly faces anywhere and the only noise you trust is the sound of your own breath.
---------------------------------------------------
The graphics are excellent. The visuals, The models, The monsters everything has a lot of detail that actually matters most of the time. Every single thing is detailed and i never encountered anything that didnt fit in. 10/10 graphics.
---------------------------------------------------
The gameplay has a HUGE learning curve. You can just use the assault rifle and that'd get you through most scenarios but ammo is scarce and your have limited inventory (and supply). But learning how to use each weapon, your kinetic energy and stasis is a lot more fun + more rewarding. I really enjoyed using the ripper but man you wouldn't find ammo for it for a whole arena. You can get so creative with the things you do it's insane. My gripes about the gameplay are the puzzles, elevators and how killing a certain monster requires guides on youtube. I've ran out of ammo multiple times before figuring something that only makes sense after watching a guide out. The elevators are really slow. Too slow and sometimes it's not even for loading. I'd say 60% of a whole chapter is just going up and down elevators and I would enjoy that chapter a lot more if the elevators weren't like that. Zero gravity and Vacuum puzzles and arenas were extremely cool and weren't overdone or underdone and I love that. You can also play ball. 8.5/10
---------------------------------------------------
Story of this game, plot after plot, death after death, unexpected a lot of the times but before heading out of a certain area i re-read and re-listened to every log i collected. I dont know if i collected all logs but reading and listening to them really clears up some confusions you may have. I liked it overall but I don't like cliff hangers. I couldn't make sense of a lot of things and i really hope that when i get to playing Dead space 2 that clears up everything. As of now It's a 7/10 for me but I'm going to watch a lore video and I believe that'll bump it up.
---------------------------------------------------
Overall, I'd give it 8.5. Immersive, Difficulty is good, Really scary at points, Every single thing you do matters and makes the difference between you making it through a chapter or rewinding the clock ahem to get some more beef on your character. Would highly recommend.

I'm the friend who recommended DS to him.
Dude tf you mean elevators are slow, that never happened to me or anyone else I know. Your game was f'd up or your disk got problems
Needing a guide on killing a certain necromorph? You just bad, it's obvious af how you must encounter different kinds of em. Just needs a little time and focus
You could just buy stuff from the store man, there isn't much ammo but you can just buy whatever you need by selling what you don't need
Do NOT watch a lore video Do NOT do that before playing DS2, unless it's ONLY about DS1
Other than that solid review. Disappointed that you rushed the game but you do you bro
