Dead Space's 'New Game Plus' Is A Good Reminder That Being OP Can Be Awesome
29.3.2023
I’d skulked my way through the dark corridors of the Ishimura, holding my breath the entire time. Never forgetting that at any moment, a deadly necromorph could pop out from the vents and make short work of me, I held my weapon aloft all the while. If I chanced upon an explosive canister, I’d...
