So I’m now just over 3/4’s of the way through my first Hard playthrough of Dead Space 3 (I done a 100% run on Normal and have another two Hard playthroughs after this one) and I’m starting to think that this is a really good game… and by extension the Dead Space series has probably entered (or is damn close) my top 5 games series of all-time.

I’m still to play 2 (I know… I’m playing it in a stupid order) but from the things I’ve read and the conversations I’ve had, it’s at least the second best of the series maybe the best… so the fact 3 has hit like this gives me confidence in making that statement. If anyone skipped 3 due to the negative buzz (or has only played the Remake) I’d recommend giving it a go for sure.

Right now I’m thinking Dark Souls, Metal Gear Solid, God of War & GTA in no particular order and then… I might be forgetting something (probably am tbh) but much to my surprise Dead Space is up there.

Yeah Dead Space is one of the best franchises, the combat just never gets old.
I think the general opinion is that DS2 is the best one, shame that it doesn't look like we are going to get a remake of that one

Also On the PS3 and the Wii I think there was a game called Dead Space Extraction which was included in the limited edition. Pretty fun time crisis type game, using the Move controller.
Actually would make a great VR game.

PS. Just about to start Rage 2 btw.

@CaptD cool, I’ll be super interested to hear your thoughts on that having recently played the first one. I’m hoping it’s a bit more futuristic Far Cry than the first one… so definitely let me know if it’s a yay or nay in that regard.

So about that Dead Space combat… I think it just clicked why I enjoy it so much more on the hard playthroughs. As ammo is so scarce I’m having to rip spikes and claws off enemies to use as projectiles and it’s just so satisfying. On normal I just end up shooting everything… which is fine but it just feels less
