When you get up to the Impossible difficulty, things get a little different. All you’re getting are damage and defense buffs, making both your ammo and healing more effective. Nothing changes in the story, and even the number of enemies stays the same. Think of it (roughly) this way: on Story, one shot from an unupgraded Plasma Cutter will kill a necromorph on Easy, it takes about four on Medium, it takes about six to eight and so on. This goes from Story, where Isaac deals dramatically more damage to enemies than on Medium, and takes dramatically less from them, up to Hard, where Isaac deals less damage and takes more. The difficulty settings really just boil down to damage dealt and damage taken. Once you’ve beaten it the first time on any difficulty setting, you’ll unlock a fifth: Impossible (this is different than New Game+, which is already harder all on its own). On your first run through the Dead Space remake, you’ll have four options for the difficulty setting - Story, Easy, Medium, and Hard.
Let’s talk about the various difficulty levels, what they do, and how (and when) to change them. That feeling of being right on the edge of failure is part of what makes Dead Space such an effective horror game (that and all the jump scares) - to the point where it can easily overpower the story.īut there is a difficulty setting that lets you take the edge off (or make it so much worse if that’s what you’re into). You’ll spend a lot of your time on the USG Ishimura low on health and almost out of ammo. Some of the optional areas on Tau Volantis are just stuffed to the gills with enhanced Necromorphs that attack in numbers that can be damn near impossible without extremely powerful guns.Dead Space - both the original and the remake - are survival horror games that lean heavily into scarcity and desperation (and jump scares and body horror). The Plasma Cutter is no longer the go-to option in the early game the Pulse Rifle no longer has it’s fantastic combination of stopping power + ammo capacity and weapons in general no longer stagger Necromorphs.Īlso, God forbid you wander into a side mission without a co-op buddy. On repeat play-throughs, you might come to realize “I need a Javelin Gun to deal with the Feeders in this section” or “I need a Force Gun for the next wave to keep them from surrounding me.” However, on your first play-through, you can get entirely overwhelmed just because the tools you are accustomed to from DS1 and DS2 are suddenly completely ineffective. Unless you are using a gimmicky custom weapon-configurations, the hordes you have to deal with are often extremely hard to handle.
It’s as if the difficulty was weighted for co-op, despite the fact that all returning fans expected a AAA single-player experience. DS3’s difficulty comes from how wildly unbalanced the game is.
