It wasn’t as bad as people said it was, but it still wasn’t good. I hate how they got rid of the store and replaced it with a crafting system. Instead of saving up my credits to buy the next suit, I now have to wait till a certain chapter to unlock it at the suit kiosk. And with the crafting, I was saving up the whole game for the Disembowler since I loved the Ripper from the first two games, and even when constantly deploying scavenger bots, i still couldn’t get it. And even for those who were saving their resources for a better gun, I guarantee if they got it they only got to use it for the last couple chapters, if that. The story is also pretty trash, since there’s literally some elementary school jealousy love triangle going on the first 10 chapters of the game. It’s just so out of place because this game isnt all sunshine and rainbows, it’s a game about space zombies with sharp bones sticking out their hands killing people. Like Norton full on locks Isaac in a cage and later tries to kill him even after Isaac saved his life from the Walmart Hivemind all because Isaac still loves Ellie. I will say the bosses are pretty cool, even the Walmart Hivemind. They don’t drag out to long. I was going to complement this game for its drill boss fight until I remember there was a game that did the drill boss fight first and a game that the drill boss fight better (Skylanders Giants). I also hate how this game uses the same kind of ammo for every weapon, like name one good game that has ever done that. Also some main characters deaths would not have happened if they had any common sense, like for Santos. She complains how she hated being on the elevator, and then when she gets to the top and the giant enemy spider attacks it, she just stands there crying and doesn’t even try to jump off. Also Buckle, the only good character for the first half of the game, dies first, which infuriates me. I will say the main human antagonist is probably my favourite of all the human antagonists of the series, since these Marker worshippers were hinted at in Dead Space 2, but you could have killed him several times throughout the game. Also some characters change their minds really quickly. Like after you kill Norton, Ellie hates you for a whole chapter for killing her boyfriend even though Norton was going to kill you and led the Marker worshippers to you, but then she likes you again randomly after a while with no dialogue to insinuate her change of mind. Also Carver gets better the further along you go in the game, but then at the end he randomly decides to give Danigan the Codex for Ellie even though he knows Danigan will use it to awaken the Moon and kill everyone. It’s a very out of place decision that is only used to set up the finale, especially since Carver was portrayed as someone who was willing to make sacrifices, despite being mournful after them, even leaving Ellie in a room full of fire earlier so he and Isaac could get away, even though Ellie insisted they leave her. If this game wasn’t a Dead Space game, I could maybe see it working. But it is a Dead Space game, and it is by far working.
