In Dead Space™ 2, you join Isaac Clarke, the Systems Engineer from Dead Space, as he wakes up three years after the horrific events on the USG Ishimura. The Ishimura was a Planetcracker-class starship besieged by grotesque reanimations of its dead crew, known as “Necromorphs.”
After unearthing a strange artifact known as the Marker, Isaac finds himself on the Sprawl, a giant space station in orbit around Saturn. Unable to remember how he got here and plagued with demented visions of his dead girlfriend Nicole, he must survive another nightmarish outbreak of Necromorphs as he fights his way towards an answer he hopes will end all the chaos.
Key Features:
- Tear through space with full 360 degree movement.
- Wield a set of devastating tools to bring the terror to space. Impale Necromorphs into the walls with the Javelin, use improved telekinesis to turn limbs into deadly weapons, plant powerful dismembering trip mines, or create a hull-breach to suck a group of monsters out into space.
- Fire up Isaac’s suit boosters to rocket around in zero gravity like never before. Explore the depths of the Sprawl and encounter new weightless combat and physics-based puzzles with full 360⁰ movement.

It is a fun game. LOL got scared more by the steam(Fire sprinklers) than the necromorph jumpscare's.
Awesome game. Might be easier with a controller or better keyboard for gaming than a laptop's, but the game itself is one of the best ever made regardless of my own difficulties with playing it on a laptop.
Great horror sci fi action and story telling
solid game. great continuation from the first and i really enjoyed my time with it. in my opinion the remake of the first game reigns superior, though. if this one ever gets a remake in the same way i’ll be one of the first in line to buy it.
Regrettably, as of February 6th, 2025, I must strongly advise against purchasing or if thinking about playing Dead Space 2 on a Windows 11 system with an Intel ARC A770 GPU. The game is currently completely unplayable, failing to launch at all. Therefore, I urge you to avoid wasting your hard earned money until EA releases a much-needed patch to address these critical compatibility problems. Don't waste your time and frustration waiting for a fix.
Very good game. Very challenging and very unique gameplay. Very good game. Very good story which makes you feel very much for the characters, namely Isaac and Ellie. Very good game. Probably in my top 5 games of all time, very good and very scary game! Very good game. P.S EA lock in and give us an even verier gooder game, with a dead space 2 remake and/or a very good ds4!!!
The game was a 8/10. There was pros and cons to this game, At first i had a hard time with the controls cuz how old the game is but the game play still hold up to it... But i don't like how the game was very short . Other then that i recommend IF your a fan of Deadspace. I would love to see this game have a Reamke! so plsss dooo .
This might be my longest purchase-to-play game. I didn't realise that I never actually got to the point of playing Dead Space 2 and it had been sat idle in my library for about 10 years. This game was really good fun. I enjoyed the story and the combat. The atmosphere and moments where they absolutely play on your fears and what happened in Dead Space was great. Ran fantastic on the Steam Deck. Recommended.
Edit: I played this 100% on Steam Deck. I turned off vsync to get 60fps (otherwise it locks to 30fps). The only thing going against the game is lack of Steam Cloud support, so I couldn't play my save anywhere but the Steam Deck.
Playing this one directly after the new Remake of the first game hits hard. The tie-ins between both titles are extremely satisfying, and whats more intriguing is the fact that this game still holds up. It looks great, plays well, and manages to exceed expectations just like the first one. The settings in this story however are much more varied than the first, and the atmospheres all blend really well with one another between the different chapters. Now with added customization, interesting locations, deeper character lore and some hard hitting new weapons. Also, the enemy variety is really intriguing, with some enemies making some of the scariest audio cues that I have ever heard in gaming. Honestly, it's such a good experience, especially when played in tandem with the new remake. I might go out and say that I enjoy this title even more than the first due to how seasoned the main character feels after putting up with the horrors in the first title.
This game maintains a lot of the same formula that made the original great, but it is a rough experience on modern hardware. It's possible that I am being overly critical, as I played this immediately after the 2023 remake of Dead Space, but Dead Space 2 is rough even compared to the PC port of the original 2008 release of the first title in the series.
While it is by no means unplayable, be prepared for some pretty ridiculous physics bugs if you try to play it at a high framerate. Windmilling corpses, endless bouncy-ball physics, and utter failures of gravity wait to distract you from the game's ambience. What should have been one of the game's best setpieces was ruined for me by the fact that I couldn't tell what was meant to be a scary noise and what was just some bit of loose environment doing the 240hz jig in a room nearby.
That said, it unfolds a bit more of the Marker story in a fun enough way. Gameplay is reliably good, if quite a bit more forgiving than DS1 - on "Normal" difficulty in both playthroughs, I found myself frequently out of inventory space due to a massive amount of healing items I never needed to use.
This isn't a bad game, but it isn't a good one compared to its predecessor. If you need to know the next chapter in Isaac's story, get this one on sale.
I absolutely adore Dead Space 2. It is one of my favourite games of all time and I have nearly 200 hours on it across different platforms. Near perfect Action Horror, through and through.
However as of 02/02/25 I cannot recommend this game to anyone with Windows 11 and/or newer hardware like Intel i9 CPU's (10+ cores is a MAJOR ISSUE) or Nvidia 40 series GPU's, as it absolutely refuses to run longer than 20 minutes without either soft or hardlocking your PC, and that's even if you can get it to boot in the first place. I have spent many hours trying numerous combinations of fixes for things such as framerate, controls, graphical errors, DLC removal, Inaccessible bonus rooms and so... SO MUCH more, to absolutely no avail.
Please do not waste your time with this version of the game until EA pull their thumb out of their bunghole and fix their game.
EDIT: 12 hours after I wrote this review, I managed to stabilise DS2 enough to play it for an hour without any crashes.
If you do attempt to get this game working on a PC with more than 10 CPU cores, you must download Windows ADK Compatibility Manager and create your own database fix that tricks your PC into thinking it has less cores than it actually does. Then, you must lock your all software and hardware to run at 60fps and turn off V-SYNC. I'd recommend replacing your EXE with v1.0 to remove the DLC packs and manually replacing/renaming the DATA files in order to unlock the previously inaccessible Conduit Rooms.
So with a bit of work, you can get this game working. But there is still no Severed DLC solution so EA can suck my nuts, the negative review stays.
I actually beat the game several times on my Xbox (probably clocking in over 100 hours), got it here on steam for the free DLCs. If anyone's here after beating Dead Space 2023, a large reason why that game was so freaking good is that it basically yoinked a bunch of game play innovations that Dead Space 2 did. This game did not age one bit, if it did I wouldn't had purchased it again.
Now, with that being said, it still would be really cool if EA made a remake for 2 and 3 :)
Fun game although it leans a little more into action rather than horror like Dead Space 1. There are some frustrating sections where you will have no idea how to solve a puzzle, or get unfairly ambushed by necromorphs from multiple directions making for some trial and error gameplay at times. Overall DS2 is pretty good but doesn't reach the highs of the 1st for me.
actual playtime closer to 12, I just idle my games a lot. Solid game, worth grabbing on sale and playing as long as you keep in mind the age.
The best horror-actions game I can think of!
This sequel follows a similar evolution from its predecessor as Alien (1979) to Aliens (1986). It Leaps into the actions straight away ditching the slow build up of the first, feeding you with fascinating world & story lore though exposition and set pieces, this continues all the way through. The game has a great progression system allowing for the feeling of growing strength but also knowing threats still lurk around any corner. Dead Space 2 tackles the horror game-play with some of the resource management of the first but perfectly in-fusing it with a new fast-pace DNA, evolving into modern game mechanics with the best limbs of first still hanging on. Both you & Issac are more prepared but haunted and vulnerable.
Brilliant Sequel. Wonder if they will remake this one day. Loving the Lore, Interesting new enemies and characters. On to Dead Space 3
Mejor puto juego de terror de la historia.
Comprálo, es buena inversión.
Extra: el juego está tan bien optimizado que lo pones todo al mínimo y te corre hasta en una patata y se sigue viendo bien.
Dead Space 2 is everything I wanted from Dead Space 1, but beyond that, it is a great example of how to correctly do a sequel. Not only is it bigger, but it is better than the first game, all without sacrificing what made the first one so popular, and good in the first place.
The story is more fascinating, the characters are more memorable, the guns are more varied and fun, the gameplay is no longer a repetative loop, but instead linear, environments are more curated and well-designed, audio design is better, combat is harder as to be more challenge, but still not frustrating, jumpscares are more effective due to better pacing and build-up, et cetera, et cetera.
My only criticism might be that I am not 100% sold on the voice actor they picked for Isaac Clarke. Now, I do like the fact he speaks now, as opposed to the first game, it humanizes him, and makes him feel 'real.' However I expected a more gruff, mature, and I guess wise sound to his voice and vocabulary as Isaac is a middle-aged engineer, not an intern in his mid-twenties. The voice actor is good, but I'm not sure if he was good for Isaac specifically.
In conclusion, I have to give Dead Space 2:
8.7 Eyeball Shish Kebabs out of 10
Stross was a bit disappointing as he was kinda predictable, also the main antagonist - who I do not remember his name - was kinda just shoved into the plot half-way into the game, making him feel like an afterthought. But this game isn't really about them, it's about Clarke, Nicole, and Ellie, so I am a-ok with that.
What a dog shit ending. An unholy amount of QTEs rammed into the finale gauntlet. You are better off tanking the damage then actually committing to taking any bastard down. Which is in opposition to what the game had taught you. And these rats had the audacity to have the unkillable shit stain return. Who the hell thought that was a good idea? Honestly playing chapter 13 to close feels like such a damn chore.
Fantastic horror game that breaks the usual mold of "you can try and run and hide or avoid to save resources."
Combines action and horror seamlessly. No longer can you cower and hope the creatures avoid you, the screaming, hissing, gurgling necromorphs are instantly in your face and slicing at you. Suspenseful scenes done well and scary atmospheres aplenty. The only thing to mention is that disabling v-sync drastically changes the experience and must be done.
A must play for any horror fans.
A fun sequel to Dead Space 2. The end gets to be a bit too much of a grind without much strategy or skill involved. But I liked the narrative and the characters. The voice acting was excellent and the game play overall had that great Dead Space feel to it!
This is a worthy sequel to Dead Space 1. the only problem is its too scary haha, soo scary i might not even be able to finish it and im only playing it on normal because its too scary haha
This game is Amazing. The problem is EA, as it always has been and will be. The game currently does not run on modern machines, there are multiple threads with fixes. I spent 2 hours looking for the one that worked for me which is this one: https://steamcommunity.com/app/47780/discussions/0/3451465085384043949/
The game is good but if you can, avoid EA games like the plague.
Nevermind, the game still won't run. Fuck this company
This is my favorite video game. Everything from the art direction in every aspect, the gameplay, the sound, the music, the story in both fore and background, the actors performances, it's all so tight and well executed. If you asked me to point to a single game that swirls together all the things involved in making a game and nails all of them, I'd point you here. More than a couple games do a better job at all of the things I listed individually, but damn few even come close to presenting such a compelling and complete package.
Dead Space 2 is even better than Dead Space 1. It has all of the good things the first game has and builds upon them, has almost none of the bad ones, the graphics are better, Isaac now actually has a personality, the game has many setpiece sequences and the gameplay is faster, gorier and even more fun. It's one of those games that I consider a perfect sequel.
Dead Space 2 is a masterpiece of a game.
It excels at everything ranging from story telling and characters, gameplay, level design and pacing, graphics and sound design.
Dead Space 2 has had a significant impact on me personally - even outside of gaming - to an extent that I can say that I would not be in my life where I am today, hadn't I played this game 13 years ago for the first time.
And thus, it is and will always be the most important game I've ever put my hands on.
I just hope EA will never touch this game and try to remake it. As there is a high chance that they will fail to improve upon what Visceral Games built over a decade ago.
Best game in the series but unplayable on current PCs without a good amount of effort. Got passed the CTD on startup using MS Compatibility Administrator's Processor Line options. Made it into the game finally to get to seeing how bad the mouse feels, found the fix for that. Played through some of the intro noticing a bunch of things seemed off/missing from the console version to realize that too high of an FPS ruins the physics and cut scenes, only it crashes to desktop again if I use Nvidia Control Panel or RTSS to cap FPS and the in game vsync is 30fps but feels more like a jittery 15fps tops...
this game gives me an arsenal of tools and still manages to make me hesitant to check out a room with no encounters
Right up there with Resident Evil 4 as one of the greatest action/horror titles of all time.
Dead Space 2 is an exceptional sequel that not only builds upon the strengths of its predecessor but also refines and expands them to create a masterclass in survival horror.
This game delivers a perfect blend of heart-pounding action, psychological terror, and emotional depth, cementing its place as one of the finest entries in the genre!
Once again, players step into the shoes of Isaac Clarke, now a more vocal and fully fleshed-out protagonist.
The game wastes no time thrusting you into chaos, opening with one of the most intense and memorable sequences in gaming history.
From that moment on, Dead Space 2 never lets up, keeping you on edge with its relentless pacing and expertly crafted scares.
The gameplay is tighter and more polished than ever!
Combat retains the strategic dismemberment mechanic that made the first game so unique, but the improved weapon variety and smoother controls make every encounter feel fresh and exhilarating.
The zero-gravity sections are vastly improved, offering more freedom of movement and adding an exciting new dimension to exploration and combat.
The Sprawl is a terrifyingly immersive setting, with its diverse environments ranging from eerie residential quarters to hauntingly quiet schools and churches.
The sound design remains a standout feature, with every creak, whisper, and Necromorph screech contributing to an almost unbearable tension.
The game’s visuals are stunning, showcasing intricate details and gruesome effects that bring the horrors of the Sprawl to life...
Isaac’s struggle with his traumatic past and deteriorating mental state is deeply compelling, adding a psychological layer to the horror.
The game’s narrative expertly balances action-packed moments with quieter, introspective scenes that give Isaac’s journey real heart.
The addition of Ellie Langford as a strong and likable ally further enriches the story, providing a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness...
Dead Space 2 also excels in its variety of gameplay moments.
From intense boss battles and adrenaline-pumping set pieces to quieter, puzzle-solving sections, the game keeps you engaged and constantly guessing what’s next!
In every way, Dead Space 2 is a worthy successor to the original.
It’s a thrilling, terrifying, and emotionally resonant journey that improves on its predecessor while carving its own identity.
Whether you’re a fan of the first game or new to the series, Dead Space 2 is an unmissable experience that deserves a spot in every horror fan’s library!
It's a good game, I really had fun and horror while playing. I would advise playing the first game though, since it literally is what the whole story has been built up upon.
On PC However, it DOES have major issues upon start up. Crashes and out sync, specifically for modern computers. There is a work around that may or may not fix these issues. I'm simple enough to just enjoy this masterpiece on console.
Quick review, I haven't played much of the game (I own it on PS3) but I surfed the reviews before buying it and wanted to put it out there that it works perfectly for me, and it did not launch the EA app at all! So if that's your worry, it's not a problem.
this game is good, I really love Dead Space 2. the reason why I am giving it a negative review is that every time you want to play DS2 you have to do so many things to get it to open. just buy this on a console instead so it actually works
Game wont run crashes immediately on newer computers what a shame.
dead space 2 is a masterpiece but the limit to 5 activation's is a joke. EA wants you to be mindful about how many times you install the game on different computers i.e. be careful about upgrading, ever. funny thing is it took me not even 5 mins to get around their dumb ass drm and i can play again.
Just keep that in mind. you may, in the future need to do a work around to play this.
and just FYI to you EA (and every other company), you will never stop people getting around the ability to play your game. if we have to steal, we will and there's nothing you can do about it so get over it.
7/10
Dead Space 2 is easily worth the 5 USD I paid for it. However, I've been greatly spoiled by the Dead Space 1 Remake, and this was a significant step down in style and quality.
This game captured a lot of the same feel from the first game and you absolutely need to play it if you liked the first one. The voice actor for the MC was great and I can see why they brought him back to reprise his role for the DS1 Remake. The main female lead was super likable. It has a great horror "feel" and captures a lot of fear elements that make a great survival horror game (e.g., Resident Evil 2).
However, the game suffers from the same problems as Resident Evil 6 & 8, emphasizing too much fast-paced game-play. The enemy encounters happen at breakneck speed compared to the first game and robs you of the true value of the genre. Jump scares are great, but when you're dead before you know it because of some enemy jumping out of the dark and taking half your health before being finished off by five enemies surrounding you, you just get irritated and the thrill is gone. I never felt like I got a chance to take a look at the enemies I was fighting and really appreciate the mechanics and design of each one. There was a strategy for beating each enemy in DS1 but DS2 just feels like a very long version of the shooting gallery mini-game/side quest from DS1. Too much call of duty energy for a game that should be a slow burn. The mental pressure put on a player from the regenerating Necromorphs in DS1 was executed to near perfection like Mr. X from Resident Evil 2. The regenerator enemy in this game doesn't show up until the very last chapter and just feels like an ammo/ability sink because of the army of enemies dog-piling you faster than you can move or react .
Other negatives:
- The controller support was not good and I was forced to play with janky keyboard & mouse controls instead.
- An antiquated equipment upgrade system that you won't use because it's not worth the time since you really just need to buy lots of ammo on higher difficulties. To beat the final boss on the middle difficulty, you'll need at least 350 rounds for a fully upgraded pulse rifle. If you make it there with less, I hope you have a manual save at the buy station, lol.
- The pointless quick time events that were mindlessly shoved into every game from the 2007-2013 era are a huge pain.
- I had to do the 10+ processor core fix
- if you die before completing the trip to the solar array station, there's a glitch that forces you to load from the manual save point, losing at least 15-30 minutes of time if you only die twice in the section.
Overall, I liked the game for the story since I already played DS1 and there were some moments that recaptured the same feel of the first game. However, the age of the game shows, and the remake of DS1 is the far superior gaming experience for the genre. I'm super disappointed they probably aren't going to remake DS2 because of under-performing sales numbers (only 2 million copies). Slowing down the pace of the game-play and re-balancing the game mechanics to more effectively scale difficulty would make this game a 10/10 experience.
I only have 2 main complaints that bothered me a wee bit:
The first one would be the "weapon wheel". It's pure shite. You have to memorise what key brings you to what gun, which is doable, but it's really frustrating to deal with in a intensive combat situation.
The second one is how many enemies are thrown at you. I don't remember the first game being like that. (there's been a while since I've played it, but still) Sometimes, you have to face hordes of enemies, coming fae everywhere. And they being bullet sponges at the end of the game just doesnae help at all.
But, aside fae that, I loved it: the atmosphere, the weapon designs and everything, in general. A classic and a must-play
you need install fixes to play this game smoothly in 2024 new machine. other wise is okay
Overall really good upgrade from dead space 1 enjoyed all the new elements they added. Dead space is good at creating atmosphere and moments that you'll remember for a long time as iconic and 2 also did a really good job
really solid squeal. if you've played one you gotta play 2
Issac is still my goat....
The game is amazing and i love it.
EA however.... being EA, must by the nature of their very existence ruin everything it touches by making the game not run half the time because they violently fisted into the very soul of the game a third party launcher that stops the game from working.
Why would they do that?
Honestly, i don't think even EA understands why they do half the stuff they do. Much like the Xenomorphs in the game they just slither around killing anything that was once living and beautiful out of instinct.
tried everything aside from the mod link,total bullshit .i shouldnt have to perform risky mods and use 3rd party code to make a game work i payed for
Played through all of it when it initially came out. Love the game. The needle scene has scarred me forever.
Never have I had an issue with this game. Play the series and keep in touch if they add on to the series beautiful.
Finally got around to playing the remake I got from PS Plus, and I immediately picked this up. Holy shit. Play this game. 10/10.
Good game, really solid combat - fun weapons, and cool monsters.
For being over a decade old, this feels like it came out yesterday. Everything that made the first game awesome applies here. Atmosphere, graphics, gameplay, story, characters are all top notch. I even love the more action focused take as it never takes away from the horror. Near masterpiece.
Very Atmospheric Game! 10/10, don't play Dead Space 3, just play 1, 2 and the remake.
Where do i start? An absolute classic that holds up against other classics like resident evil 4 and even the modern remakes. Terrifying but accessible, the first time i played this 11 years ago i couldn't put it down. If you've only played the recent remake of DS1 and looking to see what becomes of Isaac next, this masterpiece still holds up extremely well. My favourite horror game of all time.
whatever lupine reaper said
not a deadspace fan so i cant say anything bad but the combat is fun
