This time, they completely did away with the horror of it and went all in on action. I had a mild complaint in DS2 about leaning more into the action, because the fact is, other games do that so much better.

This one had a few interesting puzzles. And the deadly QTE's, and annoying lockpicking/hacking mini-games, and near-Serious Sam level of spawns, typically from all directions. The most annoying parts of the second game. Of course, lots of monsters means lots of loot drops, and the game wants you to go all out. Empty your ammo, spam the stasis, and use those stasis refills. Oh, and on that note, all the Necromporphs go twice as fast in this game. The ones that were already fast... hoo boy! Stasis. Spam it.

Ultimately, this game is very far removed from the first in tone. Which is a problem in that the reason you played this one is because you liked DS1+2! The only reason I finished DS2 was because I wanted to see where the story was going. The only reason I finished this was to see how it ended. But after playing all three, my recommendation is just to play Dead Space and forget they made sequels.

Great game, use to play it back in the day on my playstation 3. Peace of history.

Despite with the lackluster of the horror elements Dead Space 1 & 2 had, Dead Space 3 is still enjoyable to play.

While the story doesn't hit in right spot for long term Dead Space fans, it still felt a natural progression in Isaac Clarke's story.
Playing with a friend is also fun with the Co-op mode. The Awakened DLC was a great add-on for the post events of the main story-line.

Despite the game being one of the reasons why a 4th installment will not be likely to be happening anytime soon (or forever), I'll still take for granted of what we have to begin with. Weapon crafting is broken in a good way, the suit designs still look awesome to wear and use in game.

The game is overall enjoyable, and fun! Only complaints I have that every fan has is; the lack of the Advanced suit from Dead Space 2 not being in the retail release, and obviously the lack of the 4th installment.
