I played and finished it on PS5 without spending anything. I had fun with it, but it's a shame they didn’t continue the story, as it had potential. The backlash led to the sequel being canceled, which is disappointing.
It wasn’t as bad as people made it out to be. While the combat is a bit basic and the ending feels abrupt, it’s still pretty enjoyable and easy to play through. It’s definitely a solid game, especially when you get it for free.
It’s a fun game for what it is. I got it on sale from Steam last year. While it wasn’t worth full price and the Dead Space remake far outshines it, I still enjoyed it. I definitely think it’s worth playing, especially if you get it for free.
