15 Most Amazing Video Game Settings of All Time

USG ISHIMURA (DEAD SPACE)

Horror in space is something that we’ve been enjoying to varying degrees across media over the years, so we know how powerful a good setting for such a story can be. Dead Space is one of many games that strengthens that notion. The USG Ishimura is a terrifying place- a derelict, behemoth of a ship floating out there in the beyond, isolated in space and crawling with nightmarish creatures that can rip you apart in the blink of an eye. Exploring its halls was a petrifying experience back when Dead Space first came out, and still is today.
