The game is not without its faults but I had fun. The graphics and atmosphere are well done here. The combat could use a little TLC and the story was a bit thin but serviceable enough. We get some gunplay here but just keep in mind that this is more of a melee game.

Pretty good game with amazing graphics. Story was interesting but nothing special and the gameplay while fun, was quite repetitive. Audio was some of the best I’ve heard in a game and really enhanced the horror of the game. Overall I can recommend this.

One of the baddest games I've ever played. Definitely rated mature, 16 yrs and up I'd say parents..... brutal. Probably visually the best game I've played yet. Very cool story. Short campaign, maybe 20 hours, but you can replay it with all the guns and such that you gain throughout the 1st run. Get this game! It's a few months old now so get it on sale, you won't regret it

It's a great game a mix between alien isolation and dead space. The graphics are dark and gritty with a lot of scary gore moments. The game play is slow but creepy

I almost rage quit, but pushed through.
I made it to the final boss on standard difficulty and then had to drop it to beat the final boss.
Upgrade your GRP and melee, turn on the assist for dodging. On my first play through I was barely able to upgrade my primary weapons.
I’m on my new game plus.
Having the upgraded weapons at the beginning really shines a light on how hard they pushed the dodge mechanic.
Take a look at a couple of online reviews or videos to find your way to manage the dodge mechanic.
The world itself was odd, with the maps making little sense other than “the player needs to have a way to get there”
For some reason the spinning and grinding mechanisms everywhere had me wondering if OSHA laws were a thing in space. There must be a lot of people ground up at work or missing limbs.
Not worth the full price. Wait for a sale.
Beautiful.
Janky.
The studio had potential with this one but really seemed to lack planning and direction.

Unfortunate. The graphics are amazing. The story is decent. After that, character control ruins this game. You dont have the option to move at anything besides a snails pace, even as you are being attacked from range. Here's an example: In the middle of the game, there is a trap that requires you to move away from these giant spinning saws that traverse back and forth down a hallway. You would think that you would want to move fairly quickly to not get chewed up by them right? Nope. Snails pace walk. No option to even briskly walk.
Combat stinks. Boring fights that are hampered with a terrible control scheme.
Major letdown. This game had the potential to be a solid title, and whomever they let design and test the controls and pacing for this game completely wrecked it.

I thinks it is good gets harder while progressing in the game. Graphics are nice and still trying to get better at combat. Learning curve. Worth the 52 dollars

Though you can't tell from the title, this game is similar to the awesome Dead Space, just updated with better graphics. However, with clunkier controls and less useful powers, it falls a bit short of the aforementioned classic. While engaging and sometimes compelling, it also gets frustratingly (temporarily) harder out of the blue. Still, a good game nonetheless.

I see a lot of people comparing it to Dead Space and complaining about its length. It is short but i nabbed it on sale so whatever and i fail to see how the dead soace comparison is a bad thing. Its fine, not amazing but fun. I don’t regret the purchase at all.

Overall the game is a lot of fun. Gameplay and gun play are very smooth. If you loved Dead Space than you'll like this game also. My only issue was, I lost my save game 8hrs into the game.

This game plays very similar to Dead Space but with more focus on melee combat. Once you get the dodging controls down, this game is great. Jump scares, exciting gameplay, and great story.
