The only problem being that it’s about half the length of what it should have been.
The plot is enjoyable, accessible and follows on nicely from the main narrative. Needless to say, things soon turn sour and even the characters own psyche are thrown into doubt. Once again, the two protagonists are thrust into yet another unknown situation with the characters mere guesswork being the reasoning behind progression. A brief recap is given at the start to either refresh or spoil the ending of the game if you are yet to complete it! The DLC takes place after the events of the game, and is initiated from the main menu. Can Dead Space finally become chilling again or has it’s undulating quest towards ‘Action Shooter’ finally reached it’s uttermost peak? The Brethren Moons are unstoppable, and at best Isaac was only able delay things.The Awakened DLC promises to deliver a more psychological edge of scares and unease to counter Dead Space 3’s unfortunate lack of frights. Lovecraftian Horror is well known for portraying helplessness and hopelessness in the face of an unstoppable Cosmic being. Even if the Necromorph apocalypse is averted, there is no saving humanity.Īs far as Dead Space's cosmic horror inspirations go the ending is suprising thematic.
Earth is dying, many species all but extinct. Its a husk of it's former self, desperately trying to hold on to any hope spot. Especially with Dead Space 3 introducing Eldritch Abomination that are the Brethren Moons.ĭead Space presents us a Humanity already pretty much dead. Dead Space, at least to me has always been a great example of Cosmic Horror in gaming. I think that Awakened closes the series on a incredibly somber but thematically appropriate note. As much as I hate the circumstances around the death of Dead Space.
