If Resident Evil is the king of survival action-horror, then Dead Space aimed to be the pretender to the throne, bringing together Capcom's early dread and latter-day over-the-shoulder shooting into one gory package. The monster encounters can be horrific and stressful but it's the space between where the story expands, and twists and turns that really sells it. Whether you're a fan of the Amnesia franchise or not there's a real page-turning, 'must-see what happens' feel to the adventure. Tasi goes on a journey and there's a strong draw to following her to see where it all goes and what it means. There are some great puzzles, horrible monsters but it's that narrative that binds it all together. Familiar mechanics like failing sanity, eroded by the dark or looking at monsters, returns but this time contained within a much more coherent and enticing story. There's almost a literary feel to the game as you explore the darkness as Tasi, a French explorer lost in the desert. Building on the themes of memory loss, pursuing monsters, and otherworldly magic, Amnesia: Rebirth builds on the previous games in the series to deliver a tense, playable slice of horror fiction.
