** The two optional achievements for the Cargo Bay are particularly annoying. "Cargo Bay - I don't like healing" requires you to beat the mission without using a healing terminal (or using the optional regeneration suit upgrade, or dying and respawning), which is particularly frustrating because of the preponderance of [[DemonicSpiders grenade-throwing zombies]] who will OneHitKill you with a direct hit and do considerable damage even with a near miss, with every encounter featuring at ''least'' one. But "Cargo Bay - Shoot 'em down" is even worse, because it requires you to beat the mission using ONLY your secondary weapon- meaning not only are you prohibited from using your primary weapon, but your grenades, Devastator or -worst of all- your [[EmergencyWeapon stungun]] either. And the problem with trying to beat it using only your sidearm is that, no matter how upgraded it is, the level is rather short on pistol ammo. If you try to be clever and use the [[ChainsawGood chainsaw]] instead (which doesn't need ammo), the multiple grenade zombies will make your life a misery again, as will the single chainsaw zombie. Making matters worse, you can't even just dodge past the enemies because you have to kill them all to proceed at several points. And worst of all, the GameBreakingBug at the cargo elevator can completely sink your attempt half-way through.

* DemonicSpiders: The grenade zombies. They take a lot to bring down (about as much as a Securitas zombie), and wear helmets, allwing them to NoSell headshots. Add their impeccable throwing aim with OneHitKill grenades that are nearly invisible against the game's dark environments and make absolutely no sound to indicate they've been thrown until they detonate and you have a recipe for gamer rage.

They were ''considerably'' nerfed in the sequel, with the grenades no longer detonating on impact and instead beeping for several seconds before exploding, giving you ample time to get clear.

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: ''Dead Effect'' [[ItsNotSupposedToWinOscars wasn't trying to be anything other than a campy, simplistic zombie-blasting game]], as evidenced by the fact that it was originally made for mobile devices. You shot the zombies until there were no more zombies to shoot and you reached the end of the level, occasionally pressing buttons on the way; it was not an ambitious game. ''Dead Effect 2,'' on the other hand, was a very, ''very'' ambitious game by the standards of what it was following, upgrading to a full-blown FPS/RPG, with an in-depth loot drop and upgrade system, experience levels, character customisation, and a much more complicated ability system. It was also much longer, had a more-involved and deeper plot featuring multiple allied [=NPCs=], a ''massively'' wider variety of enemies to fight (compared to the first game's "zombies, more zombies, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment even more zombies]], slightly different zombies and {{Elite Zombie}}s), quests and missions to complete, and also included multiple different game modes and online multiplayer (both [=PvP=] and co-op). It's an entirely different game, and if it wasn't for sharing mostly the same aesthetic and being a direct plot continuation you'd barely be able to guess the two games are even part of the same series; aside from the graphics being roughly on par it's almost like comparing ''VideoGame/WarCraft: Orcs and Humans'' to ''VideoGame/WarCraft III''. It's actually possible this much greater ambition is the reason it actually has a ''lower'' Metacritic score than the first one, as now the game is so much more ambitious it's being judged much more harshly against other games in its new genre like ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' which, despite the developers' best efforts, is a much higher bar to clear.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In the second room of the game, right after descending the elevator after awakening from your cryopod, there's an incongruous patch of MeatMoss on the wall to your left, and either a deformed arm or some kind of fleshy tentacle briefly flails at you through a hole in it accompanied by the sound of snarling before vanishing. This never happens again, you never see the MeatMoss anywhere else in the game and you never see any more BodyHorror on this level anywhere else either. It's completely inexplicable, assuming it's not just a totally random ShoutOut to ''VideoGame/DeadSpace.''
