The game set in two locations: in orbit around the planet, and on the planet itself. The search takes him to the frozen wasteland of Tau Volantis and an orbiting graveyard of ships, home to a colony that died out two centuries earlier after stopping a Marker. When his totally alive ex-girlfriend Ellie reports that she was on to something major and then disappears, he is once again neck deep in dismembered necromorph limbs. The bouts of hallucinations have mostly left him, and he’s relatively well adjusted for having dismembered hundreds of creeping horrors, and having had an evil shade of his dead girlfriend nag him for years. The game begins with a reclusive, but otherwise well-preserved Isaac Clarke doing his thing. The story of Dead Space 3 is far less disturbing than the last two games in the series, and far less compelling as well. Now with 100 percent less crazy! Well, 95 percent less It breeds a predictability that soon makes the solo campaign feel a bit stale after numerous, similar combat scenarios – but it actually works well for the co-op mode, even if it creates other problems. There are a few moments when the game tries to startle you, but its the equivalent of someone shouting “boo.” You can typically expect to be attacked in every single room you enter, and the combat never stops. Dead Space 3 goes even further in that direction, and pays the same price.ĭead Space 3 lacks both fear and tension in almost any real sense. Dead Space 2 embraced more combat, but at the cost of diminished tension. Even the controls were made with a creeping motion in mind, and you did not want to get cornered. The first Dead Space was a claustrophobic game with distinctive sections that put combat behind survival as a choice. This is the road Dead Space 3 has decided to walk. There is plenty of gore, but a diminishing return on tension. The once-healthy survival horror genre is dying a slow death, as even the perennial powerhouses in the genre – like the Resident Evil franchise – shift from fear-based-gaming to a more traditional, action-rich style that just happens to use the same trappings. In one of the more ironic developments in recent years, it appears that game developers are afraid of fear. Many of the sections are repetetive and dull The survival horror series is now all about action
