    Dead space was always an overrated franchise. This is where it hits rock bottom, with a trash horror themed action shooter nobody liked or asked for.

    Worse the Dead Space 2, its the same old trope...
    Walk down empty corridors till you enter large "empty space/area"...
    Cue the cheese grater violin and take on a wave of enemies that even Smash TV would think is excessive.

    Simply put I've go to chapter 18 and don't know why I'd done it to myself, might finish, might not.

    Weak, gun system is boring you have to ''grind'' alot. What made this game near unplayable to me was the fact that this is a multiplayer game rather than a single player one. I don't have friends leave me alone i am not socializing. Jokes aside game is just made for two people and you feel it in every way every corner which is bothersome.

    A decent game to play in co-op mode. The shooting was pretty great. The weapon upgrade mechanic took some understanding and it could have been made a bit simpler. And the arc for carver was pretty great as well. But overall a decent experience.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a huge Dead Space fan, I must admit that Dead Space 3 was not what I was expecting.
    It broke my heart to give it a 7 but it can't be helped.

    New Features:
    1.- New store interface and Crafting system:
    For some reason that I cannot comprehend, they completely changed store. No more nodes and credits. Plus, ammo now is generic. Which it's broken considering all the weapons you can get now. They took what made DS different and added pretty generic shooter stuff. Now you have to craft a bunch of resources in order to get upgrades for your suit or just craft ammo/medkits. But don’t worry, your Scavenger Bug will do all the hard work. Regarding weapons, you will also need some weapon parts and circuits. That you’ll find throughout the game. They’re treated as collectibles so don’t worry about getting them as random loot.

    2.- Crouch and Cover system
    Only useful with human enemies. Trust me, you will not use these against necromorphs. Can’t say much about this cause I’m not into many third person shooters. But I think it… Works? Idk honestly.

    3.- Auto saves: As you read, you cannot manually save anymore. There’s autosave now.
    Which unfortunately only works on the main missions. So if you wanna do some side missions, you must finish them and then continue the main one til the game saves. If you don’t, the only thing that’s gonna save, it’s your inventory. Not your progress since the last checkpoint.

    4.- Co-op mode: For the first time in the series, Dead Space 3 introduced this to team up with a friend and play the entire campaign this way.
    You may have not noticed this, but if you look closely while playing in single player mode, the campaign was meant to be played this way. All the puzzles are proof of this. As a single-player enjoyer, I find this is such a shame. What developers tried to say here was that if you wanna get a full experience, stop being a loner and get some friends.
    Since in co-op mode there are exclusive dialogues, side missions, cutscenes, “mechanics”, etc. All of these are not available in single player mode. It would've been much better if they also had allowed us to play this in mode but with an AI partner. Mainly because you cannot complete 100% of this game if you don't play in this mode.

    Now the usual stuff:
    1.- Story: I think it’s ok. Just ok. Both endings from the main game and DLC were pretty decent. Not gonna talk much about this cause you know, spoilers.
    The only thing that I wanna complain, it’s about the poor development of the antagonist. I don’t even know his name and it doesn’t matter. He is the leader of some unitologist faction, who believe that the necromorphs are holy creatures that can bring about a new form of existence. Throughout the game, he only gives speeches and fails miserably trying to kill Isaac.
    In the end, he fulfilled his life purpose and died in the most pathetic way. You don’t even fight him once. And he doesn’t return in the DLC. Instead, we got a random dude with no background story or even a name.

    2.- Gameplay: It’s focused more on action than horror was the first thing I noticed in the first chapters. Last chapters and DLC became a little, just a little more focused on horror.
    From there onwards, just the usual stuff: Solve puzzles, fight necromorphs, human enemies, some bosses (one of them like 2-3 times), quicktime events, etc.
    Impossible difficulty felt the same as usual.
    However, side missions felt generic as hell. All of them have basically the same premise: Face waves of enemies to get tons of resources.
    Also final bosses in both main game and DLC ending were disappointing. Especially the main game boss.
    But at the end, gameplay was fun. Took me almost 35 hours to finish with a 93,8 % completed on Impossible difficulty. And yes, this percentage is all you can get in single player mode.

    3.- Visuals: I definitely loved visuals in this game. Even though my PC is not that great, I could enjoy some spectacular views.
    Last levels and DLC visuals looked terrific too. Truly beautiful. The game's environments are also diverse, ranging from the spaceship corridors to the ice planet of Tau Volantis. Speaking of it, each area felt unique and distinct, and the game's use of color and lighting helps to create a haunting and unsettling atmosphere. I think this is the only thing in the game that definitely deserves a 10/10.

    4.- Audio: Audio design, voice acting and soundtrack were just fine. Nothing remarkable imo.

    5.- Technical: It was technically a solid game with no significant frame rate drops or performance issues. The only issue I had noticed was some bugs from Chapter 9 onwards, where enemies got stuck in the environment or were just running to the wall. Other minor visual bugs as well.

    So overall, DS3 was an ok game. It wasn't what we expected, but it wasn't a bad game either.    … Expand

    I finnished 1 and 2, but this one is not worth your time if you want to take this game seriously, it feels like a parody from dead space itself, for some reason they put drama in it wich doesn't even make sense in the story, it feels like a joke, the game itself is not that bad, but the story is a mess and takes you out of it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All right follow-up of the previous games.

    Dead Space 3 is an example of a game where the concept gets a little old. While still a good game, the main idea of Dead Space is not really present anymore and it feels more like a standalone game, with tight bonds to the original. Don’t get me wrong, I can absolutely understand that three games on the USG Ishmura, with the same plot and environment will get old even faster, but in my opinion, Dead Space 3 was not necessary.

    Still, after what I just said, the story of this game is fairly decent. After discovering the fate of the USG Ishimura in the first game, getting to know the Marker and its capabilities in the second game, you now search for the origins of the Marker on the frozen planet Tau Volantis in search of answers in Dead Space 3.

    While searching for those answers, you must fight your way trough many Necromorphs but also, humans…. This was very disappointing for me. Like I said, I can understand that you don’t make the same game thrice and need some new ideas, but the introduction of regular human enemies in great numbers, kills of all the ties with Dead Space for me. And although I can still enjoy the game, I sometimes forgot that I was playing the horror survival game Dead Space instead of Call of Duty. I would have preferred some new, wicked and lost Necromorphs instead. We got some of those, yes, but the focus on the human enemies shifted a bit too much in my opinion.

    Dead Space 3 offers some new game modes like Survival and Permadeath to add some challenge to the game. This is a nice addition.

    I really like the graphics in Dead Space 3. The character and suit models are nicely polished and the Necromorphs look great. Because this game is set on a frozen planet, the snow, snowstorm and cold effects are really well done.

    The sound design is a little less impressive than the other games and ambient music is now playing when walking towards your next goal.

    In this game, you can also craft items from parts and scrap that you find lying around. I must say that this feature is nicely done and adds some more “survival” to the game.

    In the end, I had fun with Dead Space 3, although, it did not feel that special or glorious anymore. It was just all right and it added a nice piece of the story to the series.    … Expand

    Objectively speaking, Dead Space 3 is the worst game in the main Dead Space trilogy. Subjectively speaking, it's my favourite of the trilogy from a pure gameplay standpoint. It would be insulting to call this game a survival horror, as it is more a survival action game with a horror setting. Almost every aspect of this game can be described as fun but flawed.

    With the improvement of weapons, in my opinion, they went a little too far and now I have to dig through a huge pile of garbage in an attempt to create a more or less effective weapon.
    Enemies barely evolved. For some reason, they changed some of the enemies. For example, they replaced children with dogs. Maybe because of rating or censorship. Dogs in space are commonplace.
    The story against the background of the previous parts looks weak. The single-player and cooperative modes look very strange. At first, you go through an abandoned location alone all the time, until suddenly your partner appears out of nowhere and disappears just as suddenly. And you are completely alone again. It pretty much destroys the atmosphere and impression of the game itself.

    The game is relatively monotonous and drawn-out, elements of horror appear only occasionally. The pace and new storytelling style ruined the atmosphere of the first two games. However, the weapon crafting system is a great innovation that adds replay value to the game. Co-op only improves this side of the game.

Esta tercera entrega en si no decepciona pero tampoco causa furor ni ningún tipo de sensación única o distinta. Básicamente recupera casi todas las mecánicas y aspectos de su anteriores entregas pero no aportando en si nada nuevo que pueda destacar. Además las modificaciones que han añadido mas notablemente son con respecto a la progresión del juego que en si misma en mi opinión pienso que ha sido a peor y afecta negativamente al disfrute del mismo. La historia que cuenta esta tercera entrega carece de imaginación y el apartado miedo o terror ya no aporta nada en el juego. La esencia en si de la primera entrega carece de presencia dejando entrar mas a un apartado de acción que no aporta nada en especial. Los personajes y ambientaciones sin ser exageradamente malos no ayudan en la historia intentando sumar interés o haciendo mas intrigante la narrativa. En si este Dead Space 3 aporta mas continuidad que otra cosa y resta importancia o esencia a la saga. Sinceramente se intuye que es una entrega cuyo objetivo es poner "fin" a la saga para intentar sacar mas dinero a la gente que un buen final que sea fiel al concepto de la saga. Creo que en si la saga se resume un poco en eso. La primera entrega contaba con la novedad y con un montón de razones que hacia único al juego además de un apartado de terror que para el tiempo y el concepto del juego era muy acertado. Pero ya con la segunda y con esta tercera entrega se nota que el toque mágico y la esencia se va perdiendo dejando a su rastro unas entregas mas comerciales y mas ajustadas a un concepto general de videojuego de acción. Una pena la verdad pero a su vez me alegra haber podido finalizar la saga y me llevare siempre ese buen recuerdo que tengo de la primera entrega de la saga Dead Space.… Expand

    This is not a survival-horror anymore, to be fair, only the first one was truly a survival-HORROR, to be fair it's very hard to rival a "deserted" starship setting and the unknown factor it's very hard to repeat in the sequel and yet, DS2 is great in it's own merits, mostly because it brought a deeper look into the lore of Dead Space franchise.

And it's the same with Dead Space 3, this game is most an action game than it's a horror game, it does have good moments, but most of the time it's just a survival-action game, and it's not necessarily a bad thing, because this game bring a even deeper look into the lore (which is amazing btw) and also a ton of new mechanics, like the weapon creator, that is great. Haters gonna hate, but I think this is a good game and it's a shame that EA has closed down Visceral Games. In time, the first two game had movies that helped set the background before the games, it's a shame EA didn't do that for DS3.… Expand

    Actually a solid action game. But if Dead Space's origins weren't in hardcore survival gameplay, it would be half bad. Here you only shoot the monsters with a lot of ammunition. You can forget the story, too.

Dead Space 3 many tiny rooms with waves of Xenomorphs is overkill and comes across cheap, lazy, boring and grindy.

    The cool part of this game was customizing weapon loadouts. They added a fun new dodge mechanic and added fun new EVA sections. Story I didn't really give a crap, because it doesn't really go anywhere. As for the new characters live die who cares.

The game is literally the same game as Dead Space 2, which is sad because DS2 was an amazing game. And the game is no longer atmospherically scary, but jump scare ridden trash. Every single time I got scared in DS2 was because the atmosphere was too unnerving and always made you feel on edge, but in DS3, it is completely gone, the atmosphere is just sad and not scary. The environment is bland, not too many different areas, most of the side missions were weak, not engaging, the weapon blueprints and upgrade scheme felt tacked on, Visceral wanted to make a good game, it shows. But, EA as it is, did not want to make the game good, just mediocre. The enemies were butchered and were mostly boring to fight over and over again while you're using telekinesis on doors and **** like that. And speaking of opening doors with telekinesis, the game has a sound bug where after you open that said door, the game will play a sound. But, there is a catch; the sound never **** ends. So you have to patch the game yourself via a fan modder. EA, or Visceral for that matter did not give a **** about that issue and left it in for the PC release. Overall, a mediocre action game. Not even a scary game, and I'd go as far as to say that the game reminded me of Gears of War even. Trash. Don't play it. Waiting for the fourth game for the next generation. Like a reboot or after the events of DS2 or maybe even between DS1 and DS2, or even a prequel game like the spin-offs.… Expand

    Deadspace 3 is the weakest link in the entire series.

Dead space 3 is a bland, text book shooter.

    Gun upgrades were interesting, but some of that required purchasing (real money)of certain blue prints which is shocking, let alone the upgrade pieces(chips) - god awful - the implementation of such an pay to win system, just like a number of other games of the time (like Deus ex mankind Divided) were a cash grab!

    This, let alone the boring linear story which is nothing like the unusual story in it's siblings - Deadspace 2 had more than this, and even that was quite shallow.

    Deadspace 3 is the dead, cold and dark Mausoleum of a once great studio - RIP Visceral game, we will remember what good you did, we will! That wont be Deadspace 3 - it has no soul and no passion; it's just an animated turd.

    It does look pretty and may be worth vacantly playing through on co-op with a friend, whilst you talk about things that interest you in life. This is not worth greater than £5 - maybe 10 if you played Deadspace and want to follow it - but it is a complete let down in every way in comparison to it's predecessors.    … Expand

    Coop, rejugabilidad, desbloqueo de logros, acción, gráficos y diseños, el cambio de escenarios, incluso el modo de creación de armas es divertido si lo comprendes(no es tan dificil y e visto a la gente quejarse, es que no se enteran de lo que hacen y dicen que es basura por que no se toman el tiempo para entender el sistema y quieren todo fácil sin esfuerzo, entiendo que el sistema del 1 y 2 eran mejores o más "comodos" pero para nada hacen a este sistema basura, hay nuevos enemigos necromorfos , humanos uniólogos, y los robots son de mucha ayuda para recolectar recursos, el sonido el genial, la música es la mejor de los 3.

    Los aspectos negativos: no hay terror(se cambio ese especto en la mayor parte del juego excepto el dlc pero esa es la idea del juego ), la historia no es la mejor pero lo que más veo que fallo es el guión no la historia. el balanceo de botiquines y munición es malo pero aun así funciona, si lo juegas en altas dificultades o modos diferentes esto deja de ser un problema, micro transacciones(las pueden ignorar pero si están rotas si las usas).

    En resumen es un juego OK y diría que sí vale la pena jugarlo por lo menos una vez para hacerte tu propia opinión, y terminar la trilogía junto a la historia de Isaack, es una lastima lo que le pasó a visceral games y a pesar de que cometió errores en el 3 muchos no se los perdonaron y por eso no hay y posiblemente no habrá más Dead Space nunca más, y si EA metió mano pero aun así se puede ver el cariño y el amor puesto en el juego por parte de VISCERAL GAMES.

    The first two parts were games about meditative and slow horror and atmosphere. The third part has become a more active shooter with not very successful crafting. Nevertheless, the history of the game itself remained excellent and revealed to its possible maximum. Although the game was obliged to give us the fourth part, but even so, it deserves a high rating for all its efforts.

The game continues after the ending of Dead Space 2 and the whole story plot totally links to its first 2 prequels, which helps players get back to the main trace of the series. But it's unreasonable to have the game started the same old ways as the other 2 and lasted its boredom for 8 hours fighting the same old necromorphs. From the middle to the end, there are changes in the game flow that actually rescue the whole game from causing players feel off the hook. The DLC has made itself an enormous failure for revealing the true enemy's identity of the Earth who had been designed to look like a serial killer (or at least a butcher), which mostly makes no sense to what the whole series have tried to established for the existence of this franchise. Fortunately, the last rise in the plot flow at the end of this DLC lifts up the expects of most players for the next franchise.
    Game-play and characters designs are quite fascinating. EA did make a huge innovation in the weapons upgrade bench, which opens variety of paths for players of completing missions. What nearly kills the game-play is its game mechanics. Sometimes it's difficult to lift or move objects with the telekinesis module and enemies' AI is quite low in some cases of spaces with many open doors.
    The biggest development EA has applied on to this franchise is music. The SFX and theme are totally stunning, lively and thrilling and what EA does the best is putting them at the right moments in the story flow.

I can honestly say by the end I was bored and it was a struggle to finish it. The biggest issue for me was all the damn mini games and puzzles, they completely killed the atmosphere and pace of the game, at one point I was playing cargo Tetris for about 5 minutes. I also hated the set pieces with one shot mechanics, it got pretty tiresome having my toe clip a boulder and my whole body exploding into a 1000 pieces making me have to start from the beginning.

    I also didn't like the new crafting system, it just felt like a downgrade to the old system, I never felt like I had enough resources to build anything and by the end of the game I hadn't been able to craft hardly any of the weapons whereas in previous games I got to try them all out. Of the few I did manage to try they all felt so underwhelming mostly due to how slow they were (even when fully upgraded), coupled with the fact that all the new enemy types were extremely fast and in much higher numbers than previous games I found myself getting swarmed on if I used anything that wasn't fully automatic.

    Overall it just felt like a different game with totally different pacing and I didn't enjoy it, even though the story was good, the visuals were improved and technically it was the best of the bunch. The core of the game was just rotten and it didn't feel like Dead Space to me, it really felt like they'd tried to emulate a different game from that time period instead of just continuing to make their own game.    … Expand

Is this game as claustrophobic as the first, classic entry to the series? Well, sometimes but not always. I feel that's because it is a much larger game, with a far greater scope, variety in environments, places to venture through, enemy types and weapons; it's a 17-18 hour game on the hardest difficulty and in order to sustain that it needs a variety of pacing to keep things fresh. Imho, it couldn't be 17 hours of dark, metal corridors with the occasional room for ambushes.

    Look at DS2, that was already moving towards a more traditional action packed adventure. Sure it starts off like 1 but soon Isaac starts talking and breaking out the odd wise crack and as the game goes on, the enemies and situations you encounter become repetitive. DS2 was an 11 hour game for me but I'd had enough by the 9th hour. It was just room after room of hordes of enemies. DS3 on the other hand never wore out it's welcome for 17 hours because of the variety. I still love DS2 in many ways but, for me, it ends up being my third favourite.

    DS1 is still my fave but 3 is a close second. I've played through 1 three times, 2 twice and 3 twice and if I was asked to play through one of the DS games again I'd choose 3 because there's so much variety. Oh, and I want to give special mention to three things not usually associated as being DS's main qualities.

    1. The way the lore is explained. Much of your exploration shows all the centuries old horror that has been taking place due to the markers and I felt like I was discovering and learning about some almost Cthulhu-esque intrigue. And no, it's not just done in notes found on desks. You see it in the demented scribblings on the walls, in the mission plans and research written on boards, in the objects in laboratories and meeting rooms, even on projectors.

    2. The side missions that all contain their own little stories about the various poor souls who have fallen to the necromorph menace, the missions had real character and often brought out real sympathy in me for the victims, even if they hadn't been great people.

    3. The music. The calm moments floating among the space wrecks above the planet's surface, knowing you'll soon have to delve back into those dark, dangerous corridors, are made even more hypnotic thanks to an almost Alien music score. The quality of the ambient tracks is also great throughout the rest of the game.

    I'm not gonna say you'll love it for sure, but this game came out at a time when EA was at it's most hated and I can't help but feel that slightly skewed of lot of people's sentiment. It must be easy to pick up cheap now so I'd encourage anyone to give it a go if you have any interest in the series. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.    … Expand

    From the moment I boot up the game I can feel a disconnect from the previous iterations. This review is almost 4 years late, but in case there is one last person who wanted to get it like I did today I'll say:
    This isn't Dead Space. This is Halo with Dead Space creatures, or Uncharted on space debris. Don't expect suspense or horror.

The game have some nice little moments (like the ones in the city in the beginning, where in my opinion the whole game should take part), but they are buried inside loads of filler chapters and ultra-boring side missions. Then there are the other two major problems of the game: the melodramatic soap opera story - it's always been about Isaac search for his lost love, but always in a subtle way, here it seems like a stupid soap opera with jealously attacks all the time. And the biggest of all problems, the crafting system/exploration system which has nothing to do with both survival horror or linear/action/storyfocused genre, it's so abysmal and irritating.

    Dead Space 3 could be decent if they cut like 70% of the content, turned into a small game, direct, without any of the crafting stuff, but the way it is just murdered one of the finest franchises of its generation    … Expand

I still cling onto the hope that a Dead Space 4 will be announced soon. Every time I search news for DS4 I come across old articles talking about how DS3 bombed forcing EA to put the franchise on freeze. So here I am, putting in my 2 (positive) cents.

    I liked Dead Space 3. I liked the environment, the story progression, the characters even the combat system. I'm not a hardcore horror fan and perhaps that is what sets me apart from a lot of the reviewers here. That being said Dead Space (1) and Fear (1) are games that I will always remember fondly. Hell, even Alien Isolation was a blast and that is truly a horror survival game as your main way of surviving is run and hide (and whimper). But that is where I draw the line - zombies and angry puppets just don't do it for me.

    I like FPS, I like a good story, and I like (good) sequels). For me the Dead Space trilogy delivers on all fronts. To me each game felt connected, yet had unique play style (which is a good thing). Not only that but you get a sense of the character evolving. From a nerdy mechanic **** his pants in DS1 to a tired and jaded veteran in DS3 whose approach to dealing with enemies is a lot more confident (as it should be having killed thousands or tens of thousands of them already).
    I agree that the universal clips which you can easily craft at any bench did water down the thrill of the combat somewhat, but I'd be lying if I said that I don't enjoy blowing up enemies up close with my home-made missile launcher (brings back memories of Doom 2).

    As for the story, I am tempted to compare it to the Mass Effect games. Not that it's anywhere nearly as complex or rich as the ME story, but the story progression in both franchises is done really well in my opinion. Specifically in Dead Space each games pulls back the curtain a bit more, making you realize the truth is much worse than the previous game's ending suggested. Though Dead Space 3 perhaps went too far in the hopes to pave the way for Dead Space 4, it still made sense. The writing is good and it left me wanting more.

    Am I late to the party? I love the atmosphere, game play and environment design, but the save system sucks all the fun out of the game. I've got maybe an hour or two at a time to play, but the DS3 save system punishes players with limited time. In the end it's unlikely I'll even finish the game and even more unlikely to buy any future sequels...which is a shame.

In EA's attempt to appeal to a broader audience, they might have as well handed Visceral games a shovel and and told them at gun point to start digging their own grave next to the other corpse's (i;e, west wood studios).

    The game has the worst start to a game that I've played. it goes against everything that dead space stands for. You fight zombies. Not the necromorphs from the first and second games. Plain zombies. second is you are given an abundance of supplies. no need to worry about health and ammo until later. They remove the disturbing and unsettling soundtracks and add them in later. Anndddd they have you fight humans and add a crouch system.

    Another thing is that they add nothing to the combat. Apart from the secondary weapon modes they add nothing. The only new and significant thing they add is the Crafting which was done well. A single weapon can be changed into something completely different. I started with an smg and now have a revolver that shoots electricity and has a second barrel that has rapid fire. The store and old BENCH system is gone. No more power nodes. Instead you collect materials around the world to upgrade weapons or build new ones. You also use crafting to upgrade your RIG for more HP and armor. You can Also craft ammo and health kits along with other supplies.

    Gameplay is exactly the same as Dead space 2 . All too familiar enemy types make a comeback, with the only difference being a texture change. Apart from the axe wielding zombies and replacing the necro-babies with dogs, everything is the same in the combat Hell, they even use the same model for the Hunter/Regenerater from the first game .

    Side missions are a new addition to the game that promise an expanded story and a chance at more supplies and loot. But too many of them are needlessly drawn out and only make more questions than answers. And the Save system in horrible. There are two different saves in this game. They replace the manual save systems with Checkpoints and auto saves. But the two are completely different . Check points are places you will respawn if you die. But they do not save you progress if you quit. Thats what Auto saves are for. And they are so few and spread out. I kept dying the the start of the game and getting thrown back to a save that was made 15 minutes ago.

    horror is toned down significantly in exchange for in your face combat. The story is uninspiring. Overall not the worst game, Only redeemed by the awesome visuals and crafting system, Just an unworthy successor to the franchise.    … Expand

The distress and the screaming when you play this game is off the charts.

    I played it twice, and second time in NewGame+ so I had my weapons all power up from the first run. Still some of it was infuriatingly harsh. Some of those abseils up the cliffs were painful rinse and repeat coz you keep dying. Some of the bigger monsters won't go down, so I had to google for the technique. Puzzles for opening doors were nightmarish, meaning up to thirty times to get it open.

    To add to the trouble I didn't understand hacking until much later on. It was the way it was explained in DS2 when I first came across hacking. From what it said I thought you had to hit mouse at only certain times. That was when both the dial lit up thick blue AND the mouse pointer was in a thin part of the edge of the dial. Sometimes hacks were taking me twenty minutes. Imagine my distress when I hacked, opened a door and died. Had to hack again.

    My first run through of DS3 was brutal and barbaric. I was playing on hard setting but it was un-really difficult. I died so many times I lost count. Anyway it took me about forty hours to play. One particular side-mission I set off on with a checkpoint, and I was five hours playing before I got another. That is true. I just kept dying.

    The weapon crafting system is complicated beyond belief. The reality is you craft something and hope for the best. My first build I chose a high damage weapon and built it. Fine it had a bit of kick, but there was no warning of the characteristic of the weapon. The clip held six rounds - basically useless. The re-load was diabolically slow. The projectile was like a wide band of energy, so much of it was wasted on one target. Then there was the slow speed of the projectile. Not exaggerating when I say some monsters could walk out the path of it.

    Now I think I have the general idea of the weapon crafting. However I need that first play, not a vague feeling after two plays. I suffered terribly having not upgraded my weapons for quite some time at first.

    The real option of course is to turn down the difficulty. Guess who forgot all about that; yes me.

    I have to say that I am pleased that there is the odd other user reviewer that has mention it gets distressing. To those reviewers, I respect you for your honesty.    … Expand

With DEAD SPACE 3 the developers have adhered to the prevalent belief that more must be better and have expanded on most aspects of the game. The results are mixed but the game still packs a pretty impressive survival horror punch. DS3 continues to do what the previous two games did so well: it delivers a tense, claustrophobic experience with challenging, close-quarter combat and plenty of startling moments. The story is reasonable although perhaps not quite as convincing as the first two instalments. There are also a greater variety of environments this time, including the surface of an inhospitable frozen planet. The graphics are good, although I can’t say I noticed any real improvement on DS2 in this area. One of the most notable changes is the greatly expanded weapon construction/upgrade system, which allows you to create and customise your own weapons. The system works well but I found myself hankering for the simpler weapons of the two earlier games as they gave credence to the fact that Isaac is an engineer using basic tools to fight the necromorphs. The suits available can still be upgraded but there’s no dramatic change in this system over the previous games. Sadly Visceral decided to abandon the manual save stations used in 1 and 2 and have opted for a typical checkpoint system instead. Bad news for us PC gamers but par for the course these day. Overall this is another atmospheric and enjoyably stressful episode in the trials of Isaac Clarke. I hope there will be another.    … Expand

The weapons parts can be combined in nearly infinite ways and specific parts work well with other parts, others not so well. There are bar graph indicators that should predict how fast or powerful a combination of parts will be but "fast" on one rifle frame is different on another, even though the bar graph might be equal. So it falls in part to trial and error but that's not bad, it keeps your interest in trying newer and innovative combinations to achieve the ultimate rate of fire, or damage or capacity.

    Also of interest is that you must collect enough different resources, different metals and such, before you can begin crafting advanced weapons. By default the player will find one scavenger bot (you will be wise to search carefully for the other hidden two) that scavenge resources along with you. These scavenger bots are the only way to collect Ration Seals, a perk put in the game by the publisher that can be redeemed for the most powerful and exclusive weapons parts. These most powerful weapons parts result only by deploying your bots to scavenge as often as possible.

    And here's the cheat: the game is set up to condition you to only release the bots when you hear a sound cue signaling an area that is presumed to be rich in resources. But the fact is that the assignment of Ration Seals to any and every given area is completely random so it is safe and in fact wise to re-deploy your bots within minutes of their return from a scavenge mission, without regard to the sound cue. Only in this way will you receive a surplus of Ration Seals great enough to afford the most powerful weapons.

    IMO as a PC game, this installment is better than DS1 but not as good as DS2. The DS1 voice acting was rather wooden and, of course the protagonist never spoke at all. It was a poor port; even with the correct vSync settings the mouse still lagged noticeably.

    Here in DS3, they introduced some new and formidable necromorphs but chose a love triangle as the central sub-plot and took the whole feel of the game into the realm of Michael Bay/Mission Impossible, a realm that often made my eyes roll but nothing is perfect . IMO DS2 was the best overall but this one is still a lot of fun and well worth playing, especially these days when it is priced under $10.    … Expand

But if you were like me and found some of the mechanics of the first two somewhat tedious and don't really care that much about being 'scared' by a video game then DS3 delivers. The story and game itself aren't scary really but I never found the first two scary, i mean...it's a video game, right? The story has however become much more complex (a little convoluted and some plot holes) and grandiose. You could argue more generic but it still fun to play and figure out what's going on.

    The bench system and building your own weapons is incredibly rewarding, although probably about 1/2 way through the game you'll likely find the right gun combo/formula that will make the remainder of the game somewhat easy. (I'm playing again on impossible and not having much trouble at all with my 2 favorite guns).

    The visuals have improved significantly and the zero gravity elements went from incredibly annoying (DS1) to some of the most fun and exciting elements of the game. The suit mechanics changed, I wouldn't argue for them being better or worse just different.

    Altogether I had more fun playing this one than both DS1 and DS2.    … Expand

    Its emphasis on the action element might be a nuisance to some of the franchise’s fans, but the game’s production values in every aspect will reward even the most doubtful gamer. [March 2013]

    Dead Space 3 brings refreshing gameplay options without sacrificing the gritty, believable universe, but scares are few and far between. [Apr 2013, p.92]

    Finishing a trilogy was always going to need bigger explosions and greater stakes – unfortunately this has come at the sacrifice of true horror.
