The only 2 issues I have with this game are this: completely dumb love triangle and not enough horror sequences. Dead Space 4 should not try to expand the scope of the universe, it should condense it, maybe a non-issac horror story. I just don't want it to get too big and action based that it loses its magic.
With that said, this was the best game in the series. The environments (space, frozen planet, mountains, etc) were top notch. Issacs character is well developed as an imperfect hero. Carver's character is a great addition to balance Issac's. The overall story was well constructed with very few pointless missions. Optional missions helped tell the complete story (maybe they should make a game based solely on the SCAF).
The weapons customization was good but slightly flawed. As soon as I got the grenade launcher, everything else seemed under-powered. You can still use the other weapons well and the combinations are truly innovative. Maybe in the next game they will make the rig highly customizable.
It took about 15 hours to beat on hard, so probably not worth buying. And the only DLC I think might be worth buying is the bot additional resources. I bought the bot accelorator and it is not useful. Overall, Dead Space 3 is a great game to play in a cold month.
