To update again, I mean.
So, Dead Space 2 is the current game I'm playing. It's a very well polished, fun, and, at times, very scary game. Especially if you're susceptible to things such as claustrophobia. And I am. And there's some jump scares. Not too many, but definitely not few, but at a pace where you don't just get tired of them. The opening to the game has been praised all over the place and I agree with it, it's one of the best video game openers I've ever seen. I'm only on chapter 10 right now, but I'll give a 'what I think so far': It's good. REALLY good. But it has it's faults, for one, combat isn't very scary to me. Now this might be because I'm on normal, and have fully upgraded my zealot force gun that I got from getting the special edition, but still. It's almost a cake walk. The only enemies that can hurt me on any kind of regular basis are the brutes, and only when in cramp corridors. Also needing to be pointed out is that unlike what they've said, Isaac's so called 'taking charge and giving orders' almost feels like he's still a grunt doing errands for other people. Albeit with a voice. And I admit, these are some very minor nitpicks to a game with SUPERB atmosphere. The decor, the audio, everything just adds up to a wonderful experience. Dead Space 2 gets a 7/7 from me. Why 7? I dunno, it's inbetween 5 and 10!
