Dead Space 2 is a 2011 survival horror game developed by Visceral Games and published by Electronic Arts. It was released for PlayStation 3, Windows, and Xbox 360 in January. The second mainline entry in the Dead Space series, set on the Titan-based Sprawl space station, follows series protagonist Isaac Clarke as he fights against both an outbreak of the monstrous Necromorphs and debilitating mental illness induced by the alien Markers. Gameplay features Isaac exploring a series of levels, solving puzzles to progress, and finding resources while fighting off Necromorphs. The game included a competitive multiplayer, with the Sprawl's security forces fighting teams of Necromorphs.
Runs well on modern hardware.

Great for steamdeck, turn off Vsync to uncap fps. This game automatically comes with all the weapon and armor dlc and completely breaks the games balance, avoid free variant items in shop with dlc logos for the intended vanilla experience.
Wow, such a amazing sequel, 10x times better than the first one (and that says much). Just buy it.
Fantastic game, still runs a treat on Windows 11. Except you can't without patching the .exe with a community fix. EA have left in some broken arcane DRM with a 5 machine activation limit. If you change PCs or reinstall Windows more than that, that's it. Here's a dead link to a support page. Isn't it great being a paying customer? If EA gave half a damn, one dev could fix this in an afternoon. If Valve gave half a damn, they could force EA to fix it or else delist it. I highly recommend acquiring it elsewhere.
