The Ideal Sequel | Dead Space 2 Review

Dead Space 2 is the perfect example of a sequel iterating on its predecessor.

Released in early 2011, Dead Space 2 is a wonderful follow-up to Dead Space, and overall, I feel is the better title. While it received a much larger budget and was more action-focused, Dead Space 2 doesn't lose the atmosphere, immersion, and heart of the original.

Dead Space 2 follows the blueprint that was laid down by the original Dead Space, fixes most of its flaws, and expands on the framework of its predecessor. This was my first time playing Dead Space 2 - and overall I feel it's better than the original. Dead Space 2 is one of the best games to have been released in 2011 - a year that saw many incredible releases.

The stakes are higher, the plot is more personal, and it's bigger and more bombastic, but it doesn't lose the heart and soul of what Dead Space is. Dead Space 2 still gets plenty of scares and atmosphere to throw your way, even with a heavier action focus.

This Dead Space 2 review/analysis/retrospective/critique will look at the improvements Dead Space 2 made, the voicing of Isaac Clarke, the plot of Dead Space 2, and some thoughts on the rumored Dead Space remake.

Edit: Yep the Dead Space remake is happening.
