Weller has few moments if any where he isn't a stoic, battle-hardened champion, and players never really get much of a chance to connect with him on a deeper level outside of "Man, this guy is a goddamn soldier." It's a shame, too, because I think Extraction showed him to be a pretty nuanced character. Granted, it's only two chapters, and yes, Weller isn't an Engineer, but when I think of Dead Space I think about all the awesome elements it blends together, not just the fighting.

Nor does Severed break up the pacing with any sort of puzzles. 440 9.0 Dead Space Review - IGN Nyxus 111d ago Review 44 Dead Space is a superb remake and undoubtedly the definitive way to experience one of the best survival horror shooters that Capcom never made. The occasional moment of com chatter with Lexine or a friend comes into play, but, with the exception of a couple of intense moments towards the end, Severed just doesn't do a great job with narrative - something that's crucial to the Dead Space franchise. And this is where Severed departs from the normal Dead Space pacing moment to moment, Weller's tale is a constant battle. Of course, he has to reach her first, and to do so he has to blast every baddie he sees and traipse through a bunch of environments that players will recognize from Isaac's journey. In Severed, Weller's married Lexine Murdoch, the female heroine from Extraction (who is now pregnant), and is trying to get her to safety amidst the Necromorph outbreak that kicks off Dead Space 2. Severed tells the story of Gabe Weller, a security officer on the Sprawl and one of the main characters from Dead Space: Extraction.
