Dead Space 3 was pretty much a mess of a game compared to the spooky original – but it did have one redeeming feature: Co-op insanity.

Buddy up with a friend and you’ll both have very different experiences. That’s because player two takes control of a mentally damaged military man who sees reminders of his broken past everywhere he goes.

Creepy toy soldiers, the bloodied faces of past comrades and enemies… Nothing is what it seems. Player one, meanwhile, will see the world exactly as it is.

Cue howls of ‘Did you just see that?’ while player one slowly comes to the realisation that either the game’s screwing with you both, or your pal is clinically deranged (could go either way, to be fair).
