That’s right – you are fighting humans, just like every other shooter.

This time around, after the prelude with Tim, you start off on Earth where your only enemies are Unitologists. When the game jumps back to Isaac’s story, before you even start playing, you are thrown a gun this itself foreshadows the gameplay brilliantly. In Dead Space 3, you start on a snowy mountain, as a guy called Tim, with a machine gun. In Dead Space 2, you start by fleeing through confined areas full of terrifying enemies that get closer with each stride, scrambling for information and a weapon.

However, after the incredible intro to Dead Space 2, Dead Space 3 seems terribly pale. Much has changed since Isaac Clarke narrowly escaped after destroying his second marker in Dead Space 2, earning him the title of ‘Marker Killer’, and pretty much pinning a giant target on his head for the Unitologists everywhere.
