Are Dead Space 2 & 3 DLCs Severed & Awakened worth playing?

[Hydes]

I loved the first Dead Space and completed it. Loved the parts of 2 & 3 that I've played...Looking to return and finally complete them both.

Are their DLCs worth spending money on or is skipping them recommended?

Edit: Added a poll.

Dead Space 3's DLC is mandatory. It's the true ending to the series. Pretty bonkers to not include it in the full game...

They're largely forgettable - in that I've pretty much forgotten almost everything about them - though I remember Dead Space 3's DLC at least trying something interesting with its story.

severed no, awakened yes, because weirdly enough it's the only closure you're going to get

Severed is a fairly short semi-sequel to the Wii spinoff, Dead Space: Extraction. It's inconsequential to the series as a whole.

Awakened is what would happen if Dead Space 3 were good. It's a must-play.

Are they single player or co-op?
Love to know for both.

Severed is definitely good. Never even knew DS3 had DLC.

With Severed, you'll need to know about the story from Wii game Extraction and is the ending for that story arc.

Awakening is the true ending of Dead Space 3.

I remember playing Servered, it was fine.

Don't think I played Awakening.

Dead space 3 dlc is the best part of the game.

Severed is on the short side, but they are both worth playing.

Play it. Its the true ending to dead space 3.

Severed less so, but still quite decent. If you are invested in Dead Space's story, Awakened is not only good, but crucial to wrapping things up.

I don't think Severed has co-op but Awakened does

Severed is single-player, Awakened is co-op.

Severed is GREAT as a follow-up to the severely underrated Dead Space: Extraction. ABSOLUTELY play Extraction before playing Severed. It follows two of the main characters of that game.

Awakened is arguably the best content of Dead Space 3 (not saying much), and is probably the most "Dead Space"-esque content you can find in that game. It skews more towards the horror, psychological hallucinations, and grim tone of the original two games, and it ends on a massive, dark cliffhanger that is - for all intents and purposes - the final bit of Dead Space content many of us ever expect we'll receive.

Severed is short and not important unless you really loved DS Extraction.

Awakened is really good and important to story.
