Living with the constant fear of the plague may now seem like a pleasant memory to Isaac Clarke compared to his current reality — fear compounded by the ceaseless terror of the frozen planet Tau Volantis. Teaming up with merciless soldier John Carver may be his only chance of surviving the dangerous planet and the even deadlier evolved enemies that await him there. Stranded on this barren world, he must face an unending stream of lethal enemies, horrifying avalanches, treacherous ice climbs and the brutal elements of the violent wilderness in order to solve the mysteries of the past and find the solution to the Necromorph plague — a solution that is mankind's last hope.

Plunge into the frozen world of Dead Space 3 as Isaac Clarke, and use your courage, intelligence and skill to navigate the challenges that lurk around every corner. Explore underworld cities, engage in side missions and put Isaac's engineering skills to the ultimate test in order to build the weapons needed to survive. The weight of human survival rests on your shoulders, but you can enlist the help of your friends with the game's new drop-in and drop-out co-op gameplay. On the terrifying planet of Tau Volantis, you may need all the help you can get.

Customers are saying

Customers admire Dead Space 3's improved gameplay, interesting weapon crafting system, and the action sequences. However, some feel the storyline could be stronger and that the horror elements are less prominent than in previous installments. The weapon customization options are a highlight for many players. Others find the shift towards action to be a departure from the series' horror roots.

Wasted potential
As a huge fan of Dead Space and parts of Dead Space 2, I was looking forward to this new installment. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a letdown in the single-player aspect. The story is much less riveting, and the characters- Ellie in particular- are frustratingly one-dimensional. Isaac and Carver are the main focus, but they are only well-developed in the co-op mode, so if you don't have someone else to play with, don't expect a lot of character depth. The difficulty curve is rather inconsistent. Some segments were a breeze, while others were infuriatingly difficult. I found myself fighting the urge to throw my controller at the screen at some points, which is odd since I always do my first playthrough on 'casual' and save the more challenging experience for later. The upgrade system in this installment is quite a bit different than the first two. You can now create, swap and alter weapons at benches, as well as use resources to craft consumable items. The system itself is a bit out of place- more along the lines of an RPG than an action shooter. The actual process is long and tedious, but beware, if you skim over it, you'll be at a severe disadvantage. Overall, this game utterly fails to recapture the frightening tension that the first game had. The environments are still interactive, but any semblance of isolation and uncertainty are gone, and it tries to compensate with jump scares. That isn't to say that this is solely what makes it a bad game- after all, I loved Dead Space 2 even though it had the same shortcomings. The problem with Dead Space 3 is that it had almost none of the creative innovations that Dead Space 2 implemented. I absolutely loved the zero gravity segments, the falling through space segments and everything in between- this is still present in Dead Space 3, but nothing has been added except quick-time events during cutscenes. Dead Space 3 brings nothing new or interesting to the table, and that is ultimately why I believe it fails to live up to its predecessors.

Love dead space!
The dead space games are among my favorites. Love the atmosphere. Plenty of action. Wasn't too keen on the new crafting system at first but it did grow on me. Worthy addition to the dead space series.
