Show Notes

In this podcast Bryan, Josh and Clint take their spooky season celebrations to space! Dead Space, that is. The franchise’s first outing by the studio that would later become Visceral Games is as heart-pounding today as it was groundbreaking back in its 2008 debut. Offering a frightening level of immersion with its innovative UI and audio design, Dead Space doesn’t skimp on world-building either, even if it did have a few missed beats from a storytelling perspective. The real star of this experience, however, is the tension-filled and action-heavy combat that stands on contrast with some more deliberately paced horror games it was contemporary with. Overall, this is an influential space horror game that set the stage for many of the horror greats that came in the years since. So listen in as the book club crew straps into their RIG and boards the USG Ishimura to cover Dead Space!

Three Word Reviews:
