Now that all that fuss is over and the smoke has finally cleared out, Dead Space 3 actually is a good experience - one that smartly trades the franchise's survival horror roots for some high-stakes action, but makes sure that you put enough effort into a sense of power fantasy with upgraded weapons and abilities. The co-op and new game-plus modes are also great ways of re-experiencing the game from a fresh perspective. Sure, it's nothing that will blow you away - and it's by no means an underrated gem (a 78 score on Metacritic seems just for the kind of experience that it offers).
