Maybe it’s a function of my experience, or maybe it was having an extra gun at your side. I immediately found that the game is not as scary, or at least not scary in the way that playing alone makes you feel. Having played the previous two installments in the series, I choose to tackle the demo with a friend. The primary player still assumes the role of Isaac Clarke, while the secondary player takes on the role of Earthgov Sergeant John Carver.

Notably, Dead Space 3 features drop-in/drop-out co-op in the campaign.

In the Dead Space 3 demo, Visceral Games brings some new ideas to the table, and I think I’m good with it. Dead Space is a franchise I usually associate with jump-scares, claustrophobic environments, and the general crushing vastness of space.
