Mar 29, 201177Severed is not bad for a $6 DLC, but I can't shake the feeling that this (severed) piece is just to whet our appetite for bigger things to come.
-
Mar 14, 201175As it stands, Severed falls a little short of the DLC value proposition and doesn't have the depth of gameplay to boot.
-
Apr 9, 201170This repetition, combined with Severed's short runtime(two chapters beaten in around two hours), keeps it squarely in the realm of diehard devotees. [May 2011, p.75]
-
Mar 3, 201170A focus on intense combat makes this brief return to the Sprawl a satisfying one.
-
Mar 4, 201169Dead Space has always found its strength in horror, puzzles and scary moments, but there are just none of these elements in Severed. Heavier on action and even lighter in horror than the sequel.
-
Mar 14, 201165This DLC is too short and doesn't succeed in capturing Dead Space 2 true shiny moments. Real hardcore fan of the serie may want to give it a try.
-
Apr 11, 201160Good atmosphere as expected, but old levels and only a few hours of gameplay brings this down a bit.
-
Mar 22, 201160As exciting as it may be to watch the story of Gabe and Lexine after their escape from Ishimura, the extremely short length of their new adventure, along with the overuse of areas we've already seen in Dead Space 2, canʼt help but create a strong feeling of disappointment.
-
Mar 10, 201160For your seven bucks, you get an extra hour of content that adds a new layer of mystery to the Dead Space universe and a rather shocking ending that would've been compelling if the campaign had been long enough to build up any emotional ties.
-
Mar 11, 201150This DLC is like canned espresso: small, disposable, and absolutely forgettable.
-
Mar 11, 201150Considering that the adventure lasts for just one hour, only real fans of the franchise should consider the possibility of buying this DLC. If you're not among them, look elsewhere.
-
Mar 16, 201140Severed places an ungainly weight on the shoulders of dismemberment combat for this extension of Dead Space: Extraction's fiction, creating a dichotomy as uncomfortable as traipsing backwards through already tired levels.
-
Mar 13, 201130An extra hour of combat and so much less, with a download that manages to undermine much of the impressive storytelling of the main game.
-
Mar 4, 201130Quotation forthcoming.
-
Mar 4, 201125If you're following all the marketing promotions and tie-in products, you might enjoy seeing Gabe and Lexine in the game and the Oracles might mean something to you, but for all but the most diehard fans this is definitely a download to skip.
