I feel like I should post something. I have a bunch of half-finished video game review posts, but instead you get me half-assing a brand new game review. The review's brand new, I mean. The game's not. This is the PS5 remake of Dead Space, a sci-fi horror action-adventure game from... uh... some time ago. I'm not actually going to look anything up to write this. This is going great already.

You may have noticed that I can't actually really play action games. I can't! Nor do I own a PS5! But I do enjoy watching other people play video games, a pastime that is much easier to engage in now that Twitch and Discord exist, and my internet friend phoenixmetaphor likes to stream games and is kind enough to stream them while I am on voice chat and can help solve the puzzles. So I feel like I played the game even though technically I did not press the buttons. I have witnessed a lot of games in this manner, and it's just that my thoughts on Dead Space are shorter than my thoughts on Clair Obscur, any Dragon Age game (I have a half-finished massive review of Veilguard), the Silent Hill 2 remake, or, like, thirteen different Resident Evil games.

(Phoenix really likes the horror genre. I mostly hate horror movies/TV (my startle reflex is overactive and really painful, hooray for cerebral palsy) but I'm fine with games (provided someone tells me if there's spiders or eye injury) and mostly I just like watching my friends play games. And I like helping solve the puzzles, which rules out watching people I don't know, because they don't want you to do that.)
