I still enjoyed playing it it’s still Dead Space, Weller’s story is short but sweet, not to mention his RIG looks awesome, but my disappointment surpasses all of that. The re-use of levels makes this feel more than ever like a money grab rather than an attempt to please fans. Given the size of the Sprawl (The giant space station city the game takes place on), I was expecting (and hoping) to see a new part of the city, but I guess that wasn’t the plan. You also do this in the hospital level from the beginning of the core game. The same exact level as with Isaac, just backwards this time. You start in the mine level, and you go through it backwards.

Not only is the DLC incredibly short (I was able to complete it in a single siting), but it recycles levels from the core game.

Good so far right? Well here’s where the disappointment kicks in. The Downside is that Weller’s story is abruptly brought to an end, but even in the short Time I spent with Gabe, I was already found myself more interested in him than Isaac. Instantly, Weller seems to have more fueling him than Isaac does.His choices are self induced, where as Isaac seems to just do what he’s told (fix this Isaac, go here Isaac). The Necromorph outbreak has just begun, and Weller is desperate to get back to is wife. Severed puts you in the shoes of a new character: Gabe Weller, just before the events that start Dead Space 2. So what do you do when fans are begging for more? You give it to them, and that’s what Visceral did some 2 weeks after the games release.
