I’ll look forward to it, as always. I’ll try to remember my underwear next time.

50% off on Xbox at the moment.
How much have they improved it over the original release?

It's still the same stiff game that isn't really that scary with incredibly limited enemy variety, a melee system that doesn't hold up with multiple enemies around you and some strange gameplay decisions such as having to stop what you're doing and heal which is err a decision especially in the incredibly tedious boss fights. It still baffles me that these guys made the original Dead Space games and came up with a lesser product. It does look incredible pretty though.

That's a shame. I'm going to guess the studio are likely moving onto something else now rather than continuing to fix this.
Might see how many points I've got left and still buy it.

I played this a couple of months ago. I am a huge fan of the Dead Space series, but I knew this game had its shortcomings and so I set my expectations low. Turns out it was a good job I set those expectations low. The game becomes quite a slog from the half way point. It doesn't throw any new ideas at you and there is very little enemy variety. The game isn't that long, prob about 8-9 hours and I was glad when it was over. Overall, I would give it a very generous 6/10.
Just replay the Dead Space trilogy again is my advice. You will realise that Dead Space 3 is actually a very decent game and still much better than the Callisto Protocol. If you have an Xbox, they still look and play great, the 2nd and 3rd games were boosted to 60fps.

Were the issues people had with this game - the combat and enemy variety, for instance - things that could actually *be* fixed?
I know it had some technical issues, such as massive frame drops, and presumably those can be patched if they haven't already; however, from the reviews I read and the footage I watched, I got the impression that most of the criticisms stemmed from gameplay systems that people simply didn't like.

It's the gameplay design choices, you can't really fix a lack of exploration or a melee combat system and the AI that goes with that. A lot of it is just baked in.

I quite liked it at the time tbh. There was a portion in the latter third that became a bit of a slog but it was nice to play something a bit more linear and focused, and it looked decent too. Solid enough 7-8/10, will definitely pick up this new dlc.

Yeah I got all 3 from Games with Gold so could just end up doing that. Never did give 2 or 3 a go

You won't think you are playing an old game, as I mentioned before they still look and play great. You are doing yourself a disservice by not experiencing DS2
