The Good
-
Excellent weapon crafting system adds flexibility to combat
-
Outstanding sense of atmosphere
-
Great amount of environmental variety
-
Co-op makes for a fun alternate approach to the campaign.
The Bad
-
Convoluted story
-
Some gameplay sequences fall flat.
This is a game rife with options and flexibility, building on the strengths of the franchise with clever new ideas that let you tailor the experience to your liking. It hits a few sour notes in its story and struggles at times when it steps away from the core combat, but Dead Space 3 is a thrilling and worthwhile sequel.
Dead Space 3, when played the way I've been playing it, on New Game+, is an engrossing and satisfying experience. But it requires ignoring the bad story and the numbing to-do lists.
