Dead Space is a gory, simplified, non-scary rip-off of System Shock 2 (Or at least heavily inspired by, also note this only applies to Dead Space 1) with incredibly good art design about a mysterious force from the planet that was cracked for mineral mining that turns the human beings on board of the ship into horrific creatures that having to have their limbs removed so that the hive mind considers them no longer useful in order to die.
