The Dead Space series, and its hero Isaac Clarke, live and die on how good, how solid the technology of the world is. So much of the original game’s plot is wrapped up in engineering tasks, fixing equipment or retrieving material to try and get you and your rapidly dwindling band of survivors off the …
