Is it still worth playing?

EA Redwood Shores' 2008 third person science fiction survival horror for the PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360 and Windows, aboard the mining ship USG Ishimura, where you play the engineer Isaac Clarke. The ship has been overrun by monsters called Necromorphs after the discovery of an artifact, the Marker, and Isaac struggles with a growing psychosis. Enemies are beaten by severing limbs. All the HUD is in the world, with holographic displays and health as a bar on Isaac's spine, and the game does not pause in menus. There are six weapons, most of them modified mining equipment, each with two firing modes, and Isaac can slow time on objects. Weapons and his rig are upgraded at workbenches, and zero gravity sections appear throughout. Because the interface is in the world and the game never pauses, the Ishimura never lets you step away, which keeps it tense today.
