The DLC seemed fairly short - with only three chapters to play through. The whole "Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" mechanic is utilized over and over with some decent execution. There's even a moment where John and Isaac aren't sure if they are shooting at each other or at bad guys. There are some cool moments throughout the new campaign, and there's a whole lot of "is this really happening?" type scenarios. This made our already extremely overpowered duo of Isaac and John even more overpowered. This is sort of compounded by the fact that the game throws a ton of new upgrade circuits at you that provide maximum upgrades to your weapons - double +3 circuits were extremely common. And while there's definitely a more tense feelings to the game and there's plenty of jump-scare moments - it's still a shoot fest.
The rest of their journey the two struggle with what happened - whether or not they were dead after the events of Dead Space 3 which saw them bringing down one of the maker moon monsters.Ī lot has been made of Awakened in that it would bring back a lot of the horror elements that made the series so famous. It isn't long before he realizes it's a vision, one he's sharing with John Carver, who is also experiencing a bit of the same delusion. If you haven't finished it you may not want to proceed.ĭead Space 3: Awakened starts almost exactly how the Dead Space 3 starts - with Isaac in his apartment. Fair warning - there's going to be some minor spoilers here from Dead Space 3's main campaign.
Andrew and I have played through the content, called Dead Space 3: Awakened, and feel the need to weigh in. But the game ends with a few questions left hanging, so it was inevitable that some DLC would be arriving. EA took a risk making Dead Space 3 a co-op affair - and for all intents and purposes - we found it a resounding success of how you make a co-op game without sacrificing the single player experience.
