For the price of the game and the digital expansion pack, I expected a lot more. The vivid use of imagery, screen shaking and constant suspense leave players wanting more, which begs the question, “Is that really it?”Īfter playing the first part of “Awakened,” I’ll be purchasing the rest of them, but that doesn’t mean my disappointment won’t linger. Although the storyline continues to grow in complexity as the game progresses, for $9.99, “Awakened” should have been much longer. The digital expansion pack, which can be completed in two hours, will most definitely leave players wanting more. “Awakened” begins to fill that void, while also adding new weapon parts, scarier looking Necromorphs and a whole new aspect to the storyline itself. Throughout the digital expansion pack, characters Isaac and John are hallucinating various images of the Necromorphs, their Satan and their “church.” As players have noted, “Dead Space 3” wasn’t nearly as frightening as everyone anticipated.

Most players have been able to complete “Dead Space 3” in 12 to 14 hours and are anticipating the release of the digital expansion pack, “Dead Space 3 Awakened,” to continue the storyline, and to build the level of suspense they all missed from the game.
