So much praise has been poured into the newly releasedDead Spaceremake from the original 2008.
For the most part, the remake is absolutely breathtaking and fits modern standards.
So, whats the strategy for completingDead Space?
How can you get a head start, even without prior experience playing anyDead Spacegames before?
Stay tuned for ourDead Spacebest tips for beginners.
Aim for the Limbs
Its become a daily mantra for shooters to aim for the head or upper torso.
Call of Duty fans, whats up?
But things are a little different inDead Space.
Otherwise, the damage you inflict will prove next to nothing.
While if you aim for limbs, they sever more easily and make the Necromorph lose its mobility.
In particular, try aiming for the legs a lot more.
This tip is so essential that the game literally points it out for you at the start.
Or, when a character says to you earlier, Don’t bother shooting them in the head.
Stomp Away
So, youve killed your first Necromorph?
If you think thats gross, thenDead Spaceis probably not the game for you.
However, stomping on corpses is almost as essential a gameplay element as killing the actual thing.
Otherwise, you get nothing out of it except escaping the jaws of death.
The same applies if you run into any already dead Necromophs.
It doesnt cost you anything.
Rather, you gain quite useful items for free.
Another often ignored advantage to stomping is that it could help kill the Necromorphs for good.
This way, they dont revive themselves and return to attack you from behind.
I should also mention the possible fun it could be to get payback for the jump scares.
You Have Kinesis, Stasis, and More.
Use Them
One thing about Isaac is that hes not your average fighter.
It can do the opposite as well, by bringing items that are out of reach closer to you.
Its also a neat way to save ammo.
Its good to note how stasis and kineses are mostly used for exploration and puzzle-solving.
However, they do just as well to survive attacks.
Also, keep in mind that stasis is a finite resource.
So it needs to be used sparingly.
Speaking of asset management.
The Suit Says it All
Its clear how much effort theDead Spaceremake puts into Isaacs new suit.
You may have noticed how finely detailed it is now.
But beyond the look, it packs some pretty powerful stats and features you should pay close attention to.
For example, the suit displays Isaacs current health, stasis energy, and other stats on the back.
These stats glow, so its pretty easy to see them without much strain.
There are several ways to upgrade inDead Space.
First, theres the stomping on necromorphs, whose corpses could be holding upgrades you need.
The other way is to explore the ship for nodes.
These could be easy to find or a little tough.
When you have them, youll need to use them at item benches to upgrade.
I recommend upgrading your suit as a priority for more slots.
More slots give you room to carry more items, like ammunition.
Nodes can help increase your health and oxygen levels, too.
For a choice of weapon to upgrade, the Plasma Cutter is a good start.
Thats because its pretty reliable and easy to scavenge ammo for.
it’s possible for you to upgrade its power or get other special upgrades at the stores.
Another way is to save up credits to buy upgrades at the store.
