I have a lot to say about Dead Space 3. It's moments like this, that I wish steam had a neutral option. The game isn't bad, it's everything else surrounding it that is. 1. Steam Deck Users, this game does work, but only in Desktop mode. Gaming mode would not work, despite being labeled as "Playable". You also need a controller since it doesn't recognize the steam decks built in controller for some reason. 2. You cannot play this game without an EA account or the EA app running in the background. It's essential. You need to be online, even to play the single player aspect of the game. 3. The EA app turns your mic on by default. If you play this game, be sure to disable your microphone or mute it. Also, don't bother adding your friends on the EA app. Private lobbies do not work at all. You have to make a public game to play with your friends. 4. In order to get the full story, you have to play the game in Co-op. You won't have access to Carver's side missions. 5. The base game has an ending, which to me, can be seen as the good ending, and the overpriced 1 hour long expansion "Awakened" is the bad ending. If you can get past all of that, I do recommend playing it, but get it on sale. Don't pay full price for this game. Now, for the game itself, I've played this game multiple times, and I think it is a bit overhated. Completely justified as it is a departure from 1 and 2, but as a game on its own, it's pretty solid. The crafting system can be a bit overwhelming, especially coming off of the previous 2 games, but once you understand it, you can make some insanely overpowered weapons. Ammo is universal now, which for this game being more fast paced makes sense. The health system on the other hand, doesn't. The game gives you health pick ups non stop, and I just have to ask, why not just give the player regenerating health? The story is okay. We get more lore on the Marker and how other species dealt with them. The love triangle was unnecessary, thankfully, it didn't take up too much time. And Carver as a character was interesting enough. Without those side missions, he's a blank slate, but with them, he's a great archetype to explore with the Marker and its affects on the mind. As a conclusion to the trilogy, it could have been way worse. Just saying.

It's much better than the negative reviews would lead you to believe. It's Deadspace. Action horror. Always has been. I've only ever died once in DS1 and DS2 on normal difficulty. The games have always been action forward. That's the charm, when you aren't constantly dying, you have the space to get properly scared. Yes the game has leaned into its shooter elements more, and definitely has more shooting gallaries. Yes the weapon crafting allows you to make some incredibly powerful weapons that trivializes a lot of the fodder enemies. Yes the soap opera love triangle bullshit feels like it has no place in this story. Yes the game is built with co-op in mind and solo players are going to see those "co-op only" side missions and chuff a bit. Yes, there are sections where you just fight humans instead of necromorphs. But the game is damn fun. The lore is fun. The new mechanics are fun. The level layout of the first quarter of the game is inspired. Don't let the negging on this turn you away. If you like Dead Space, you will like this. You will be a little disappointed with some of the choices, you'll love other choices, but you'll be glad you played it.

This game has received a way more mixed reception than Dead Space 1 and 2 mainly due to things like the complete lack of horror and even more focus on action, alongside the bad story, and I can understand these (I mean yeah, a love triangle plot in Dead Space of all franchises? What?). But if you don't think of these aspects much, I think it's a solid shooter. The Necromorph dismembering gameplay is still awesome, the rare human enemies offer a nice challenge, there's quite a bit of collecting and upgrading involved and two of the best additions to the game are weapon crafting and coop. The weapon crafting feature allows you to make absolute killing machines that can turn every fight into a joke and the coop mode with Carver as the second player is a lot of fun. You can tell the game even really was made with coop in mind with some of the cutscenes and the gameplay elements. The coop mode also has exclusive missions for it that are fun to go through and have good rewards, which makes it even more worthwhile. The game also has 3 more game modes after you beat it for the first time, those being Pure Survival, Classic and Hardcore. Pure Survival has a stronger focus on resource management, Classic forces you to only use Dead Space 1 weapons and Hardcore is permadeath. If you want to play the game in a slightly different way and challenge yourself, these might be good for you. I'd give this game a rating of 7.5/10. If you are looking for horror like with Dead Space 1 and 2 you will be disappointed, but if you also want more Necromorph dismembering action, potentially with a friend, then I think it's a decent game overall.

What’s wild is the main three Dead Space games released within five years of each other. And… boy, they were not all created equal. Dead Space 3 is definitely the black sheep of the franchise. And for good reason. It is a pretty terrible Dead Space game. It hails from the era that the video game industry felt the need to ruin every horror franchise by making it for the masses, ensuring it was made for no one. Action packed slop. The graphics are still quite good, environmental design is too, and, overall, the game plays well. The story is generally serviceable, yet unsatisfying. The weapon systems and character progression systems were overhauled and totally botched too. There’s only one ammo type and you craft stupid weapons to use throughout the game. Once you craft and upgrade one, you likely won’t use any of the others when you see they all are just as dumb as each other. I came off both the OG Dead Space and Dead Space 2 so the downgrade was extremely noticeable and I was reminded of how depressed I was when I originally played this on release on my PS3. There ARE some cool moments in the game, admittedly. Despite the flak I’ll always give this entry, there are some story and design aspects of it that I liked. Wasted potential? Absolutely. Awful game with no saving grace? No, not exactly. Worth playing? I mean, sure.

It may not be the best Dead Space But i still find myself coming back to this game i personally think its an Enjoyable experience If there's one thing i personally really like about Dead Space 3 it would certainly be the additions to the Lore: The end of the Marker/Necromorph Life Cycle Tau Volantis itself is just really fascinating to me whether it be The Alien Architecture and the Abandoned S.C.A.F Outposts Early Game on harder difficulties might be a bit of a challenge due to the Necromorphs being more Balanced for the Op weapons you can make (Due to being able to spend money to get in game materials, i don't think you can spend money anymore but idk) So most Slashers and Leapers run at Mach 10 speed and hit hard. You should get a pretty good pair of weapons by the time you are at least a quarter way through the game as there's a few ways to get materials easier, that being Side Quests and Scavenger bots that you can place at certain areas Im not very good at writing Reviews but if you did take the time to read this Tysm :)
