Severed 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.
This 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]

Short and sweet, and by that I mean an hour of intense violence and paranoia. This was the short story equivalent to Dead Space 2's main game. They brought back almost all of the necromorphs from the main story and added one of my favorites from the first game as well. The game continues to keep me on my toes with the necromorphs surprising me. The action was intense and the story was good, but the bread and butter of this add on was the end. I won't spoil it, but believe me the ending good although it does hit a bit close to home of one of the Dead Space animated movies... Like I said in the beginning; my opinion is that the add on is short and sweet.

This 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.
As 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.
This DLC is like canned espresso: small, disposable, and absolutely forgettable.
An extra hour of combat and so much less, with a download that manages to undermine much of the impressive storytelling of the main game.
If 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.
The story follows Gabe Weller's adventure on the Sprawl as he tries to reunite with his wife while fighting off the many necromorphs that block his path. Don't expect many new features with this DLC - it is more of the same goodness as found in the main game which is not a bad thing. I was glad to see the twitcher return as he is one of the more startling necros. I played through on normal difficulty and must say that it is a bit more challenging than the main game which I was OK with. The voice acting and graphics were top notch as we've come to expect with the DS series. I completed the game in about 2.5 hrs - it goes by very quickly with constant battling all throughout. I do feel that $7 is about $2 too much for this particular DLC although I know most DS fans are willing to pay it. Overall I was left with a positive impression but feel that non-hardcore fans may want to wait until the price is discounted at some point. Long live DS!

Dead Space 2: Severed should not be taken seriously. For the sake of this DLC, I had to install the entire game on Xbox360, as the DLC was released only on consoles. I thought I would get an interesting short story revealing the main plot of Dead Space. But no, instead I got a short DLC for 1 hour of gameplay, with 2 locations from the main game. The plot is minimally related to the main game. It can only be recommended to fans of the series and those who lacked 2 parts.

Most of us would be excited-horrified to return to the Sprawl. Sadly, it will only be a short visit, and as DS2: Severed shows us, its not long enough for a good storyline to be presented to us, and while playing it, my pants were clearly less stained then in Dead Space 2. The focus has shifted away from horror, and this was clearly made to make cash, not to please fans. The short trip, however, is still memorable, and unless you hated Dead Space 2, this is [almost] a good buy.
