Aside from being used as weapons, your abilities also come into play during some of the puzzles that present themselves throughout your journey.

With telekinesis you can rip apart the claws of your defeated foes and spear them at others, as well as picking explosive canisters and random objects to use as projectiles.

You can aim your stasis at enemies to put them in a slow-mo state, which is helpful when you’re getting overrun or need to reload your weapon. Of course after a while you might think this would become repetitive, but such is not the case.Īt your disposal you have the abilities of stasis and telekinesis, which serve multiple purposes. Watching your enemies crawl towards you after severing its legs and then stomping on them for good measure feels as satisfying as it did in previous entries. If you’ve been following the series you know that Dead Space is known for it’s limb-severing mechanic, which of course makes a return. However, once you get through some of the drama there’s some minor redeemable qualities to the story which centers around the necromorph origin. The way it starts out feels somewhat cliche: guy loses girl, girl gets lost and guy has to find girl.This is all very similar to the first Dead Space. Suffice it to say the story this time around is just a means for more necromorph dismemberment. This villian intends to activate several Markers and create multiple necromorph outbreaks. After hearing a message from his girlfriend, Ellie, Isaac is attacked by two soldiers who require his expertise on the destruction of the Markers and inform him of Ellie’s disappearance.Īfter agreeing to help, you learn from Captain Robert Norton and Sergeant John Carver (the two soldiers requesting aid) that the Earth’s Government has been left in complete shambles at the hands of the Unitologist leader Jacob Danik. Set a few years after the events that took place in Dead Space 2, Isaac has chosen to try and forget anything related to the Makers and necromorph outbreaks. Once again you play as Isaac Clarke, systems engineer and main protagonist of the Dead Space series, as he’s thrown into the role of necromorph slayer and protector of the human race. But, with co-op debuting for it’s first time in the series and a heavy focus on action, does Dead Space 3 still feel like Dead Space? What if you have a partner nearby? Is he able to hear you and vice versa? Dead Space returns to make it’s mark on the survival horror genre with the final chapter in it’s trilogy series.
