This review contains spoilers

Dead Space 3 felt like shit and decent at times, falling to be a underwhelming game and it was never above the point of the ranking of mid, the co-op part must be the most insane and frustrating part of it, it is when EA started to charge people for countless DLCs for singleplayer titles just like this one because overall it is not unique if it has a co-op, sure buy some dlcs only to use it maybe once in your life for some suits but probably the only DLC worth is the awakened story expansion for being more horror than the standard campaign.

Gameplay
For a third person survival game it's literally EA trying to make resident evil but with their sign on it. Some places in the game like the new horizons lunar colony looks amazing and some missions from the beginning floating in the space are nice but in rest it's a linear game with some puzzles and some combat arenas. The necromorphs can be very fatal and annoying for various reasons, thank god you can use the stesis to freeze them for a limited time, some parts of the game in co-op are very frustrating like one part after you are done with the snowbeast and you have to climb the mountain back there's where you will need only luck and someone capable to reach the top because the timing and the rocks falling down will make you go insane if you play co-op, some parts of the game like the bench and the scavenger robots are alright for semiconductors and other resources that helps you craft ammo,med and stuff like that. The weapon crafting is pretty okay because it let's you combine weapons and some attachments.

Story
The story is starring Isaac Clarke and John Caver and their crew running away from the EarthGov because another invasion of necromorphs came, now hiding in the city of horizons, the main antagonist is Jacob Arthur Danik and your goal is to stop him from activating the artifact, you will find yourself running away from your hideout to space again where you will head to exterminate the spatial creatures, some of your crew like Robert Norton, Ellie Langford, and Jennifer are there to help you reach Tau Volantis and make contact with the marker and stop this invasion, in the end all of these characters will die without Ellie who will help you in the game most of the times and get you to stop this nightmare, you got the EarthGov and the mindless necromorphs to stop you from discovering the threat of necromorphs. Isaac gets the artifact and he's heading to activate it but Danik forces his hand to give up because he was willing to take Ellie's life away, threatening him and her just to get the artifact to activate the alien machine. He gets killed and now you have to runaway and fight the large Tau Volantis Moon by destroying his eyes and then at the end the moon tries to empower back but the results kills Isaac and John, that makes Ellie the last crew alive at the end because she escaped the planet.

Conclusion
Maybe the worst review I did this year, a lot of frustration made me to don't follow up with the main storyline at all but only the basics where there, maybe my fault was that I started with this one and not the first.
