But even more problematic is that the whole epilogue completely undermines the story of the third game, and makes its conclusion seem particularly meaningless. That’s not an uncommon problem in downloadable expansions, but it’s more of an issue in Awakened because Dead Space never had the most varied backdrops in the first place.
Not only that but most of the actual locations are the same too – or at least they’ve been created with the same visual, assets and so even when they’re not actually the same they still feel that way. These are of course exactly the same sort of things you were doing in the main game. Obviously they haven’t or the download would just be them bickering in the cockpit for an hour and half, although to be honest that would probably have been considerably more interesting – and certainly more unexpected than what Awakened actually offers.Īwakened starts back on the ice planet of Tau Volantis, as you try and make your way to the spaceship Terra Nova.
