Dead Space 3 epitomizes everything that's wrong with the videogame industry right now. It's also a pretty good game, which is what makes this disappointment more sour than say, the travesty that is Aliens: Colonial Marine s.

Craft a limitless array of destructive weaponry using the game's new customization mechanic; then share your creations with your friend as you take on the necromorphs in some of the best co-op on the market

Sigh; Game is almost completely devoid of genuine scares or terror; Difficulty scaling is wonky; Cover system and gun battle sequences are out of place and not suited to Dead Space's controls; Story feels like it's treading water, doesn't take any risks and has a bizarre ending.

It's hard to fault Dead Space 3 overall, because it offers so much for so many different types of gamer. The microtransactions present an interesting dilemma for the industry and consumers, but the game does a great job of balancing these out with superb gameplay pacing and difficulty settings that...

+ An all-round explosive; fun experience; + Great weapon crafting feature; + Difficulty settings make it more about survival; + Co-op is a great addition

- Story is unbalanced; boring; - Complicated crafting seems to force microtransactions; - Gets a little too repetitive near the end

I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I didn't really enjoy playing the first two Dead Space games. I feel that horror action games have fallen into a rut that combined cheap scares with limitations on controls or movement along with other bits of awkwardness that turn what could be a fun,...

Gaming's unluckiest engineer straps on his space suit once more as Isaac Clarke again heads off to face the necromorph onslaught in Dead Space 3. It's got atmosphere by the bucket load, but can Dead Space 3 overcome a series of missteps to still deliver the goods? Read our full review to find out!

Isaac Clarke suffers reversals of fortune with such speed and regularity, it's like it is bound to some sort of wheel. A wheel... of... fortune. His reversals get reversed, he climbs to the top of a mountain only to be thrown back down - he's a representation of the Buddhist philosophy that life is...

DS3 doesn't quite reach the heights of its excellent predecessors, losing some of the horror gameplay in favour of a bit of half-baked action set-pieces, but overall its still a good game with solid and fun gunfights and dismembering action.

Dead Space 3 takes the fantastic alien dismembering gameplay in deep space the series is known for and gives you a partner to enjoy it with. This is a good thing, of course, because co-op makes just about everything better.

enjoyable game, didn't have so much issue with the planet-bound bits and you don't spend too long avoiding something that's unkillable which i find very dull. not as creepy as previous ones but familiarity with the game will do that anyway so as expected.

I feel co-op doesn't need to be in every single game and Dead Space was one of them. Because I feel Dead Space was predominantly a Single Player Survival Horror game to me. With all these things Dead space 3 was a mediocre game to me. Nothing Jaw dropping, Nothing to memorable, RIP Dead Space.
