OXCGN’s Dead Space 3 Review
A ‘visceral’ stomp?

It seems that during the course of gaming, various trends come and go, much like everything nowadays.
Whether they are visual styles, aesthetics, themes, mechanics or gameplay styles, many publishers attempt to incorporate these current trends into their games and franchises, with mixed results.
The Darkness II altered its visual style from a realistic to cell-shaded effect, reminiscent of the game’s comic origins.
Splinter Cell: Conviction ditched its primary focus on stealth and silence, opting to turn to a more “Bourne-like” action theme.
The Fallout series was originally a top-down RPG, however Bethesda mixed things up in Fallout 3 by utilising a first person perspective, used in titles such as Oblivion, and later Skyrim.
Some hit the jackpot, while others damage their franchises by incorporating something which feels seemingly out-of-place.
Dead Space 3 is no different.
