Dead Space 3 Review

Dead Space 3 was made in 2013. It is a third-person shooter. You take the role of Isaac Clark, the protagonist in the two other Dead Space series.
Dead Space 3 takes place in the 26th century. Humanity has colonized space. In their search for resources, they stumble upon an ancient artefact, a near limitless supply of energy. The side effect of this energy is that it reanimates dead flesh, bringing the dead back to life. 
Once this is realized, it is up to Isaac to travel to a distant planet to destroy this artefact and fight off the necromorphs. 
The gameplay can be frustrating at times. Sometimes the third person angle gets in the way, especially up close and when cornered. The weapons don’t do much damage which means you are constantly running away from the necromorphs in order to destroy them. This is in part due to the fact that most necromorphs don’t die when you shoot parts of their body off, they mutate and still attack you. At least you can’t walk off a cliff, the game won’t let you. There is no jumping either.
Your weapons can be upgraded during the game with the collection of raw materials using scavenger bots. You can also make new weapons from parts you find laying around. The suit can be upgraded the same way. I only found this out half way through the game.
Along with the main missions there are side missions that you can accept if you desire. Some of them are quite long. There are boss fights along the way. Most of them quite difficult to accomplish.
The sound of the monsters and the sound of the guns were annoying in this game except for the nice classical soundtrack in the background. The graphics were quite outdated. This was most noticeable in outdoor scenes. The snow and wind effects were a nice touch though.
The overall story could have been better. It was quite forced and the way things happen is so convenient. Plus, the amount of time you spend walking around collecting parts and backtracking gets boring fast. 
One thing I didn’t try was playing the game in CO-OP mode where two people can play alongside each other.

Overall I give this game 6.7/10
