Dead Space (2023)
Dead Space is another excellent example of an average guy being thrown into a world full of hurt. Set in the far future, the fourth entry in the long-running (and before this, long-absent) franchise has you playing a systems engineer who gets stuck on a spaceship full of zombie-like creatures. Similar to Dead Rising, it’s by progressing through the campaign that you learn how this unhappy situation came about.
The first Dead Space came out in 2008, followed by a couple of well-received sequels, but then from 2013 went quiet—too quiet. So 2023’s remake of the first game was a welcome surprise, with hopes that there will be more Dead Space games to come.
