I don’t think they’re comparable styles of horror. Alien is about being powerless while you’re constantly being hunted. You can’t relax because you don’t know when the Alien is going to round the corner or when you can leave your safe space. Dead Space is about defending against a constant onslaught of gruesome enemies, in a gruesome setting, and with jump scares to render all locations unsafe. You can’t relax because you’re either in a firefight with too little ammo or probably about to be.
