In the last few chapters, my CPU refuse to boost higher and the framerate dips to about 80fps. Not very optimized compared to re4 which I am getting 170fps almost all the time without dlss. Performance Issue: I am running this game on a Ryzen 5600 + RTX 4070ti rig at 2k ultra quality with dlss quality. In a linear experience, it is not that bad but I still prefer figuring out the way myself. It ruins the game, you only look at the line, not the world. I hate open world games that reveal path with a keypress. The path it shows is mostly good but sometimes confusing. Pathfinding: Press X to show where to go is great since I get lost all the time. I lose my bearing in zero-g and I need to get close to 'the thing' to move it into place. The one where you reroute power in zero-g is horrible. I can remember several times where there is a battery missing and I can't find one anywhere near.

Puzzle: The puzzle generally lacks hints. It is so annoying that I just spam E key nonstop. There are many rooms in the game with 5 to 10 boxes to loot. You need to press two even three times to loot a box. I was spamming C key and then I let go of mouse2.

When you want to freeze enemy with C while shooting, it usually doesn't work and I misused quite a few stasis packs due to this. In the second encounter it says 'kill the hunter', so I thought I need to spend all my bullets on it but it turns out I need to kill it with engine fire? what? Control: When you are low on health and spam F key, it doesn't all register, annoying. Didn't make the fact that you need to kill hunter with something else. dying many times because I don't have more health packs.

Shitty boss fight: No idea how to dodge attack of the hive mind so I just kept running randomly. If it wasn't for I found out you can kill exploding necromorphs without them exploding, I would fly back to ishimura again. When I got revived and went inside again, I discovered I had no stasis. It happens I ran out of stasis so I flew back to ishimura and bought one pack then returned then died. In the room with nuclear warhead and two exploding necromorphs, I thought I must not kill necromorphs but slow them down with stasis. Right after that I was dragged by a tentacle and I needed to shoot but I have no ammo, had no choice but to rewind to lose 15 minutes of progress. Poor autosave system: I ran out of ammo after killing the hunter. 15h ProgressToo stingy on ammo: After getting more guns, the game keeps giving me ammo for guns I don't use, like I've got tons of ammo for gravity gun and flamethrower but no ammo for plasma cutter and pulse rifle.

Final boss dead space 2 too hard
