There are exceptions to the uninspiring content – the writing is solid and as mentioned does answer some questions left as a result of Dead Space 3’s end. If you are expecting shocks and stomach turning horror, you won’t find them in Awakened. There are moments where you will discover disturbing, grisly scenes but the scare factor is definitely on the mild side. You’ll find yourself backtracking through Tau Volantis and the CMS Terra Nova, and whilst you are accosted by necromorphs and you experience hallucinations, nothing is ever scary enough to become unsettling. On occasion you’ll even backtrack through the same areas you’ve already passed through in a move that seems both uninspired and lazy. However, it also recycles environments and enemies from the original game, and provides no new vistas or locations.Īwakened can be best described as a case of “same old, same old” as you traverse the same areas you traversed in Dead Space 3, fighting the same enemies and performing the same actions over and over. It also very clearly sets up the events in any further Dead Space games, and it delves further into the psyche of both Isaac and Carver. Adding more backstory to the Dead Space world and answering the question of just what happened to the duo after Dead Space 3’s finale, is the DLC worth the $15 asking price, or should you simply opt out of this experience?Īwakened is a mixed bag – for the die hard fans or for those interested in the story it provides the answer to the question of whether Isaac and Carver survived their battle with the Brother Moon over Tau Volantis. Dead Space 3: Awakened follows immediately after the closing events of Dead Space 3, promising more co-op fun (or is that terror?) with Isaac Clarke and John Carver.
