I have not played a lot of dead space, just one or two hours of the mobile game and like 30 mins of the original one, so I did not have the expectations some people had when going into this.
That said, the game is overall disappointing. Uninteresting villain, lore is meh, characters aren't great either, the combat gets repetitive very quickly, etc...
Graphically the game is stunning! Every location looks gorgeous.
The gameplay is fine, the controls during combat are a bit weird since you have to move the left stick to dodge. You get used to it but it always felt a bit weird. The combat is pretty much always the same thing and when there are a few enemies around you the camera is a problem, you'll get hit from behind and may lose a significant amount of health and it's annoying. The exploration is poor, there's not a lot of "side" areas you can explore and when there are they're very uninteresting.
The story is meh, has an interesting premise, but some moments don't feel earned at all and reduce the story's impact. (This is way worse on the dlc...)
Although I'm being harsh on it, TCP isn't a bad game, it's just okay but it could've been much, much better. Gameplay is ok, graphics are amazing, story and characters meh.
