The good news is that EA has managed to resist the urge to turn the beleaguered space engineer into either a gun-toting, gravelly voiced superkiller or a foul-mouthed yob who cusses more than a rapper with a papercut. The new Necromorphs, the new weapons, the flying sequences? It’s all much of a muchness what really matters is that Isaac speaks. The previously mute Isaac may have woken up in a straitjacket after a three-year cryostasis slumber, but at least he’s no longer gagged.įlying in the face of conventional wisdom, it’s this latter point that’s the most important change Electronic Arts has wrought on the sequel to the favoured 2008 scare-em-up Dead Space.
On the plus side, however, he’s got his voice back. It’s no surprise that his mind is tearing itself apart at the seams, though, given that he’s being manipulated and hunted by a government agency and a cult of zombie-worshippers who certainly bear no resemblance to Scientologists whatsoever. Haunted by an apparition of his dead girlfriend, driven into a deep, deadly dementia and trapped once more on a space station filled with alien mutants, Isaac is a man under the cosh. So now you can satiate your blood lust and get your jump scares without having to pay a penny.Isaac Clarke is a man with problems. This isn't a straightforward shoot-'em-up, either, as overcoming your enemies often means tearing them limb from limb in a pretty grizzly fashion. In it, you play Isaac Clarke, an engineer trapped in space forced to fight off Necromorphs with improvised weapons made from scavenged mining equipment. It's arguably one of the better horror games of the last decade, so its revival on the freebie platform is likely a catalyst to get people on board with EA Origin, which isn't hugely revered by the gaming community. That said, it's not clear how long the promotion will run for, so you should probably download it sooner rather than later.ĭead Space, made by the now defunct Visceral Games, has actually enjoyed a stint On the House before, kicking off the campaign back in 2014.
The 2008 sci-fi hit is the newest addition to EA's "On the House" offering, and as long as you grab it directly from Origin it's yours without charge, to play and keep forever. Beloved horror survival game Dead Spaceis now available completely free on PC.
