Dead Space – Course Correction and Obliteration Imminent
For as fun and brilliant as Dead Space could be, wrapping Metroidvania-like exploration into survival horror, some sections in Chapter 3 “Course Correction” and Chapter 4 “Obliteration Imminent” stick out. Chapter 3 involves running through a gravity centrifuge. The problem is that if you’re not properly aligned or in cover, it’s easy to get shredded apart by the blades. Then there’s the part in Chapter 4 which involves dodging meteors, except the warnings are unhelpful and the instructions unclear, leading to some frustrating deaths. The worst part is that this leads to the turret section where you must shoot several asteroids down before they hit the ship – another exercise in frustration.
