The lines between sanity and delusion are seemingly stretched and Isaac is often left asking himself if what he just saw was real. Even Isaac’s quest journal reads “We fell to our deaths, I’m sure of it”.įrom here onwards what there is of a plot is highly predictable to anyone with at least a little knowledge of sci-fi films. Carver and Isaac both audibly shrug it off as the work of alien technology and after a brief slapping in the head it’s time to hit the road again as if nothing ever happened. Just how they managed to traverse hundreds of miles of space to touch ground again on Tau Volantis without any mode of transport is never really explained. Isaac and Carver have defeated the giant necro-moon and against all the odds have lived to tell the tale. Awakened takes place just minutes after the conclusion of the main story. The story seems to have been passed off as an afterthought with little consideration of just how to join the pieces of the puzzle together. The length is not the only concerning factor in the shoddiness of the newly released Awakened DLC. This coming from a game that’s already sprung controversy due to its inclusion of microtransactions, I would certainly have expected them to try and save face with this content. The fact that Visceral and EA have the nerve to charge near £7 for DLC that lasts around the same amount of time as one of the optional side missions in the main game certainly is horrifying for the average consumer. “Even more gruesome and terrifying than ever before” reads the quote from Steve Papoutsis, boss of developer Visceral Games and in many ways he’s right. This review contains spoilers for anyone who hasn’t yet completed the main storyline of Dead Space 3.
