Dead Space 2 is a third-person science-fiction survival horror video game played by Markiplier. It is the sequel to the 2008 Dead Space and the second installment in the original Dead Space trilogy. It is followed by Dead Space 3.

Game Information[]

The player controls Isaac Clarke from a third-person perspective, looking over the character's right shoulder. As in the previous game, the game uses the Resource Integration Gear (RIG) suit, an in-world heads-up display (HUD) system that uses holograms projected from Isaac's suit and weapons to show information such as messages and ammunition count. In vacuum areas, a timer appears on Isaac's right shoulder, counting how much oxygen his suit has before he suffocates. The RIG also uses gauges on Isaac's back to display his health and stasis module levels. If Isaac's health or air reaches zero, or if the player fails to survive a quick-time event, Isaac will die, forcing the player to restart from the last checkpoint.

DLC[]

Severed: This DLC Follows two characters from Dead Space: Extraction and runs parallel to Isaac's story.

Supernova Pack: The Forged Engineering Suit (15% medpack bonus), Forged Plasma Cutter, Forged Line Gun, and Forged Ripper.

Martial Law Pack: The EarthGov Security Suit (increases damage for specific weapons), EarthGov Pulse Rifle, EarthGov Seeker Rifle, and EarthGov Detonator.

Hazard Pack: The Hazard Engineering Suit (10% healing bonus), Shockpoint Advanced Suit, Triage Security Suit, and various unique weapon skins.

Collector's Edition Pack: A Hacker suit and matching Contact Beam weapon. This pack was included with the Collector's Edition of the game.

Dead Space 2 Outbreak Map Pack: Two new multiplayer maps, "The Academy" and "The Concourse."

Multiplayer[]

The game included a competitive online multiplayer mode, known as "Outbreak mode". This mode's servers were shut down on December 8, 2023.

Awards[]

The game received several awards, including nominations for "Action Game of the Year" at the D.I.C.E. Awards and a win for "Camera Direction in a Game Engine" at the NAVGTR awards.

Dead Space: Extraction[]

Game Information[]

Dead Space: Extraction is a rail-shooter prequel to the original Dead Space, initially released in 2009 for the Nintendo Wii. A port with PlayStation Move support for the PlayStation 3 was released in 2011 alongside Dead Space 2. Unlike the main series, which uses a third-person, over-the-shoulder perspective, Extraction follows a fixed camera path, putting the emphasis on frantic, first-person shooting.

Story and gameplay[]

The story is set prior to and during the events of the original game. It follows several new characters, including colonists and security personnel on the Aegis VII colony and aboard the USG Ishimura. The narrative provides crucial context for the events of the original Dead Space and expands upon the characters of Lexine Murdoch and Gabe Weller, who later feature in the Dead Space 2: Severed DLC.

The gameplay focuses on strategically dismembering Necromorphs with a variety of tools and weapons. As the game is "on-rails," the player does not control movement but instead concentrates on aiming and shooting, utilizing abilities like Stasis and Kinesis. The game is playable in either single-player or local cooperative multiplayer.
