The majority of Dead Space 3 takes place on a frigid planet that seemingly hides a secret – and plenty of necromorphs.

After Isaac’s ship crashes on Tau Volantis, he emerges from the wreckage covered in blood, limping through knee-deep snow and a blinding snow storm. Necromorph enemies emerge from beneath the snow’s cover when you least expect it, evoking the same tension we first felt in the corridors of the Ishimura.

Dead Space 3 aims to throw a lot of new things at you beyond that sense of dread over what’s around the next dark corner. You can invite a friend into the game at any time, and upon reaching the next checkpoint or reverting back to the last one, Isaac Clarke is joined by John Carver. He’s a foul-mouthed, hostile man with a scarred face and little love for Necromorph disposal.
