While initially game appears to be like games of Dead Space series, it gets obvious very soon that it does quite poor job of being survival horror. On the good side, graphics and sound are great, on bad side game has very heavy focus on melee combat( which is great for 1:1 encounters, but is frustrating when fighting 3 or more enemies or bosses when fast movement is essential. This is made possible worse than it could have been by poorly designed dodge/move/attack controls. Another weak side of the game is the story - it could have been done much better and deeper, but here to get idea of what is happening it is not even necessary to collect audio logs - it audio logs were providing more details about game universe - it could be a great game with great story. Another annoying feature of the game- very long and after 1-2 viewing boring protagonist death animations( and health injector animation too) and that game saves only at checkpoints. Overall - to my taste game is very much like Dead Space 3, but with weaker story and worse combat mechanics. If developers are going to continue this series- I’d like to see a next game at least as combat/story balanced as Dead Space 2.
