Even the characters themselves comment on the repetitive nature of your tasks. At no point does the game take an unexpected twist or turn.
Every time one task is completed, something else pops up which demands your immediate attention. all over the entire ship to fix one thing after another. This marks the beginning of the game's endless fetch quest, which forces you to go from A to B to C etc. Of course, said space ship is overrun with monsters of unknown origin, and after a brief introductory sequence wherein everything goes Very Wrong (complete with the obligatory deaths of two red shirts) you are separated from your team and henceforth set out to fix the ship's various vital systems and find your characterless Love Interest. Stop me if you've heard this before: You are Space Engineer Isaac Clarke, Isaac Clarkeon a mission to answer a Distress Call from a Big, Adrift Space Ship. You see, the plot really is a bit rubbish. But I also want to berate it for its generic plot, repetitive structure and overall predictability. I really want to love Dead Space for its brilliant graphics, brutally satisfying combat and creepy atmosphere. Much like one of Dead Space's necromorphs after meeting the business end of a plasma cutter, I am torn.
