If you are looking to drop your dime on a horror title, this isn't the one. If you want another Dead Space, but thought Dead Space 2 jumped the shark: Don't get this game. I think what I would recommend to most people, is to wait 6-9 months until it drops to 19.99 or 29.99. I don't blame the developer for not supporting DX11.as it doesn't really bring that much to the table anyway. Game has a lot of atmosphere, they have really nailed that over the shoulder perspective, and the combat is streamlined and perfected. Now, I won't deny that it is the sum of all those terrible things.but damn if it doesn't still manage to be fun. Toss in micro-pay and Origin and now you have all the elements necessary to create an incredibly steaming pile of $%^&.

Technical issues aside, the lack of the scares you WANT from a Dead Space title, the story is also very stupid. I think both are the same issue and have to do with the game losing focus in the menu screens. Other people have mentioned this, as well as being bounced to desktop while game is running. For some reason, when this happens, you can hammer Enter repeatedly and eventually get a response from the game. Utilizing the arrow keys doesn't work either. Sometimes there is a phantom mouse and I can still select things blindly, but sometimes there is no mouse interaction at all. I have no mouse cursor on the menu overlay. While the gameplay itself works fine for a port (no wonky mouse issues, or poor performance), the menu is literally broken.

Sometimes there is a phantom mouse and I can still select things blindly, but sometimes there is no mouse I thought this game would be awful.
