So, the game plays out like your typical Dead Space game. You play from a third person perspective and navigate through various levels, each one with puzzles and enemies. However, in this game, you are not playing as the series main protagonist, Issac Clarke. Instead, you play as a character who goes by the name of Vandal. You never see his face, and his voice is masked via a voice synthesizer. This choice does two things. The first of which is that since you are no longer playing as the console version's main character, you can now safely say that this Dead Space is its own game. The second thing is that the character can be either gender; that character could be you.
Is the game scary? To be honest, I cannot really answer that. You see, I am the type of person who does not scare very easily. So, something that is scary for the average person would make me not even flinch. If anything, I can say that the game has a few jump scares here and there, but those are so far from each other that the horror aspect of the game is not as prominent as the action portions. However, take that assessment of the horror portions with a grain of salt.
This ended up being more of an action game. The survival bits are loosely thrown in, and rarely will you ever find yourself out of ammo. You can easily beat the game with just your starting weapons alone, so long as you take the time to find the power nodes to upgrade your gear. Stasis constantly regenerates, which makes the ability abusive at times. You even get a pretty decent melee weapon, called the Plasma Saw, which is basically a get out of my face type of weapon. It doesn't pack a powerful punch, but it is usually enough to turn around a conflict, and buy yourself a little bit of time. Mix that new saw with the stasis, and you have a pretty potent method of dealing with enemies if you ever run out of ammo.
