    Don't be expecting any major changes or gameplay innovations here but what there is matches the high standard of the main game. It does give us a separate story, though, and should satisfy those of you who have completed the main game but want a bit more.

    A short but sweet DLC which takes about 1 hour to complete. This time you don’t play as Isaac, so it’s a story separate from Dead Space 2. It really feels like another mission from Dead Space 2 though, so if you enjoyed the main game, you would definitely enjoy this DLC.

    Visceral chose to stay so close to what's gone before. [May 2011, p.112]

    Good atmosphere as expected, but old levels and only a few hours of gameplay brings this down a bit.

    Severed is two more hours of typical Dead Space 2 gameplay served alongside a decent story that revolves around losing a loved one. It works, though due to a painful lack of surprises is definitely nothing you couldn't live without.
