    Severed is not bad for a $6 DLC, but I can't shake the feeling that this (severed) piece is just to whet our appetite for bigger things to come.

    As it stands, Severed falls a little short of the DLC value proposition and doesn't have the depth of gameplay to boot.

It really feels like another mission from Dead Space 2 though, so if you enjoyed the main game, you would definitely enjoy this DLC. Full Review »

The campaign is great, the graphics and gameplay are the same as the main game and the characters are interesting. Its just too bad that its only one hour long. Full Review »
