About this game
Visceral Games' 2011 horror game, set in 2511 on the Sprawl, a city built on one of Saturn's moons. Shooting a Necromorph in the chest does very little. You cut its limbs off instead, and it keeps coming while it still has one. Stasis slows a thing down for a few seconds, and kinesis picks up whatever is lying around, including the limb you just removed, and throws it. Nothing is drawn over the picture: health is a bar down the back of Isaac's suit, ammunition is printed on the gun, and opening the inventory pauses nothing. The zero gravity sections gave him thrusters this time, so you fly through them rather than hop between surfaces. Aiming for limbs is why it stays tense, because there is no safe shot and no way to spend a round without deciding where it goes.
