Dead space 2 severed pc series#
There’s little to complain about in the actual gameplay department, since Severed handles just as well as Dead Space 2 and retains the frantic “strategic dismemberment” gameplay the series is known for, but a definite sense of repetition pervades the add-on, with so many familiar environments and no real additions to gameplay.

The full suite of game functionality has been included here as well, including mods and upgrades to weapons, though with a starting “allowance” of 50,000 credits and only a few power nodes here and there to collect, players won’t get much mileage out of these features, expect maybe to re-spec their guns with new stats if they don’t like the current configurations.Ĭonsequently, Severed feels faster-paced and more action packed than its predecessor which managed a better job of dread and suspense. The majority of the gameplay consists of tension through arena battles, with the game frequently locking Gabe in a room and then throwing a lot of Necromorphs at him all at once, rather than the more measured dripping out of encounters that Isaac Clarke experienced. The condensed chapters also mean that the same careful pacing of the retail game is not on show here. Because this is DLC grafted straight into the main game, there’s no change at all in controls, mechanics, graphics or even enemies, so there are no surprises here game-wise for fans of the series. All the same weapons are here, and the environments themselves are largely a collection of levels that appeared in Dead Space 2, only this time in reverse, with Gabe Weller starting out in some mines and gradually working his way back to the hospital that Isaac Clarke finds himself in at the beginning of the retail game.
There’s quite a bit of asset recycling going on in Severed. It’s now two years later, and two are married, living in the Sprawl of Dead Space 2 and stuck in the middle of yet another Necromorph plague. Dead Space 2 has barely had time to cool its jets from its release and there’s already a new bit of add-on content in the form of Severed, which adds two new single-player chapters, and brings back the characters of Gabe and Lexine, last seen escaping from the Ishimura themselves in Dead Space: Extraction mere moments before Isaac Clarke arrived in Dead Space.
