Sony has officially announced what its fans have been waiting to see the most in the PlayStation Plus lineup for October, and the star of the show is going to be the legendary sci-fi horror game Dead Space. Experience promised to be full of adrenaline-pumping action and experiences that no subscriber to the service would want to miss. With Dead Space leading the pack, October promises to be an electrifying month for survival horror fans and those who enjoy breathing a bit of life into a breathless world.
Here’s what to expect from Dead Space and the rest of the PlayStation Plus lineup for October.
Dead Space: A Sci-Fi Horror Classic
Originally released in 2008, Dead Space remains one of the most iconic survival horror games ever. This game takes its focus around a gargantuan mining vessel, the USG Ishimura, overrun with some simply terrifying alien-like creatures known as Necromorphs. Players take on the role of Isaac Clarke, an engineer who has to explore the “nightmare” corridors within the vessel, battling monstrous creatures while uncovering the disturbing truth behind the doomed mission of the Ishimura.
The atmospheric tension from the game, innovative dismemberment combat mechanics, and chilling sound design have made it a fan favorite over the years. Dead Space still holds up well, offering a set of moments which remain unforgettable in terms of horror experience feel as refreshing as ever. For PlayStation Plus subscribers, the chance to revisit or experience this for the first time is definitely one of the biggest highlights of the October calendar.
What Makes Dead Space a Must-Play?
Immersive Atmosphere: Dead Space is known for its creepy atmosphere, dark, and claustrophobic environments that are built to keep a player on the edge from one corner to another. Tension clings to every nook and cranny of Ishimura, making it a film in the sense of psychological horror.
Unique Combat System: A major aspect of the game is the combat, which is centered on “strategic dismemberment,” where the player has to hit parts of the Necromorph to kill him. This brings a level of strategy to what is an otherwise highly intense action sequence.
Engrossing Storyline : Behind the gruesome gameplay, Dead Space told an engrossing story about desperation and survival by the main character, Isaac, as he unravels the secrets behind the Necromorph outbreak. A perfect franchise in survival horror, and with its engaging story and jaw-dropping twists, it’s a great game to delve into for Halloween.
Perfect for the Halloween Season: Its terrifying setting and spine-chilling gameplay make Dead Space the perfect video game to jump into during October and finally set the tone for Halloween.
