“I bought this hoping for a third dead space game. This was not that. This was very very far from that. Everything in it was all so unbelievably sane. All the wonderful flavor of the first two games was diluted down to just a bland shooter…”
“with EA launcher attached to it and whatever else they did with this game prevents many of us launching this game, Linux PS is locked out as well don't buy it.”
