The Necromorphs and their appearance on the planet of Tau Volantis breathe new life into the game’s alien slaying combat.

The Marker-corrupted creatures, many of whom we’ve seen before in the previous installments, bring numerous new tactics to the table this time around. This change was already in effect during Dead Space 2, so if you weren’t a fan of the changes made in number 2, then you probably won’t be too happy with number 3, but it doesn’t mean it’s a bad game. I can compare this to Capcom’s Resident Evil games, and a lot of fans will be upset about the transition of Dead Space from a slow-paced eerie tale to an action heavy cinematic experience leaning largely on scripted sequences to tell its story. Amongst all of Dead Space 3’s new features, including cooperative multiplayer, an impressively deep weapon crafting system, and great side missions, the most notable change to come to the series is its approach as an action game with frightening monsters. At times the amount of Necromorphs thrown at you seems almost unfair as limbs cloud the screen and it really looks like an ocean of alien bodies. Here stress is created through combating hordes of Necromorphs. In the previous two entries tension was built through anticipation in Dead Space 3, the horror approaches players in a different style. It originally found its reputation through the amount of tension established during its missions. Amongst the crowded shooter market, Dead Space found its home as a great horror series.

The Dead Space series is renowned for its inventive approach to the survival horror genre.
