10 Most Satisfying Video Game Enemies To Kill
2. Necromorphs - Dead Space
Perhaps the single biggest reason for Dead Space's enormous success was its "strategic dismemberment" mechanic, whereby players were forced to completely decimate the monstrous alien Necromorphs rather than simply shoot them in the head like a garden variety creature.
Basically, the easiest way to deal with Necromorphs is to target their limbs, which will limit their physical abilities and then allow you to finish them off, the most satisfying means of which is to basically stomp their remnants into the ground.
Strategic dismemberment is not only fantastically enjoyable but a great way to differentiate Dead Space from other similarly-themed sci-fi action and horror games. Considering how nerve-jangling the Necromorphs are, mastering the art of cutting them down to size is as necessary as it is fun.
And with a remake currently in development, developers Motive Studios have promised it will feature an even more comprehensive and visually detailed dismemberment system. Get hype.
