Platforms: PlayStation 3, PC, and Xbox 360 (reviewed) And the cooperative portions are fun and fairly clever. WHY: All of Dead Space 3's creepy is hiding in Awakened. They're self-mutilating and whispering their fears to no one in particular, over and over again. But the duo soon meet what appears to be a sect of the Church of Unitology crazier than any worshipper you've ever encountered before. Their initial mission is to find a way off the planet, to get back home safely. The new content picks up where the game left off, somehow sparing the lives of Isaac and Carver, who are left stranded on Tau Volantis. They were saved for Awakened, apparently.Īwakened actually starts off sort of weak. Where were the hallucinations? Where were the mind twists and the horrifying cultist attitude? It was the lack of creepiness that really struck me as odd about Visceral Games' latest foray into their horror series.
What Dead Space 3 was missing, among many other things, were those memorable moments. These are all memories that I've kept with me since playing the previous two Dead Space titles. Revisiting Ishimura, or the baby Necromorph introduction. The first time I floated through zero gravity, or the infamous eyeball scene. I can slip off and recall memories filled with genuine fear and creepiness. I can recount scenes to you that stuck with me from the original Dead Space and its sequel. If you read my review, you'll know that I had my share of gripes with the third title in what was previously known to me as one of the better sci-fi horror series I've played. I just don't find the game all that memorable. It's not that I've recently become afflicted with amnesia or anything like that.
I'm having a hard time remembering Dead Space 3.
