At one time, the first part of Dead Space made a splash. Many gamers still admire the sci-fi game with admiration. Thanks to the success that the first part brought to the developers, they decided to release the second, and later the third chapter. So, in 2013, the Dead Space 3 project was released.
About the game
The third part still remained a sci-fi third-person shooter. The developers did not forget about the main highlight of the project - Survival Horror. The third chapter was expected since the space trilogy was originally announced.
Dead Space 3 has changed the gameplay. The protagonist can now crouch and hide behind shelters. In addition, in addition to the evil necromorphs, soldiers of the Church of Unitology appeared.
The developers worked on new characters, as well as redid the appearance of the necromorphs. The changes affected the workbench. Now it has become easy to create weapons, ammunition and ammunition. In addition to drawings for crafting pistols and machine guns, the player can use his own imagination. After creating a weapon, you can upgrade it with modifiers.
The main innovation
But the main change that affected both the main chapter and the additions of Dead Space 3: Awakened is passing in cooperative mode for two gamers. In the main part, friends can study the story of Isaac and John Carver.
The gameplay of the cooperative is significantly different from the single-player passage. The developers have focused on the interaction of players. Now you can pick up a wounded comrade, share finds, etc. The plot of the third chapter also changes a little, depending on the mode of passage.
Addition
Passage Dead Space 3: Awakened became available to players a month after the release of the main part. This addition is a continuation of the story. It has been released on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
It is believed that the DLC has become a prominent representative of classic horror films. Moreover, in addition, the developers decided not to scare them with unexpected jumping monsters or escalating music, they emphasized surrealistic images and the general atmosphere. During the passage of Dead Space 3: Awakened hero awaits not a victory over Darkness, but the triumph of Evil.
Plot
The third game ends with a black screen appearing in front of the gamer, accompanied by Isaac's voice reaching far away, which once again defeats a pack of necromorphs. And everything is somehow ambiguous for the hero. It seems that the prophecy was not destined to come true, like Isaac came out alive from the whole situation that happened.
Walkthrough Dead Space 3: Awakened begins with the fact that both Isaac and John survived the disaster. They are trying to leave the damned planet from ice. But to do this is not so simple. Therefore, many who have already passed the DLC advise here to use the cooperative mode: it’s not scary, and a little easier.
Differences of the add-on from the main part are that the developers decided to push the main character with monsters much less often. But that is precisely why the moment of expectation of an attack exhausts even more. The game prepares for every meeting with the monsters with scenery, music and the general atmosphere. All this is supported by hallucinations, which cannot always be distinguished from reality.
Even on the Youtube channel Piggy Bank with Games, the passage of Dead Space 3: Awakened looks awesome. Here you can see how the developers suddenly remembered the unitologists who were introduced into the game. And if in the main part they turned out to be ordinary terrorists, then in addition they were shown by real fanatics. Here we see how they mutilate their bodies, conduct inhumane rites and occupy the spaceship of the main characters. This is where you have to face the lunatics and their leader.
DLC walkthrough
As already mentioned, the supplement consists of 3 chapters. The transit time for Dead Space 3: Awakened was very short - about 2 hours. Nevertheless, it is worth attention, because these couple of hours will be one of the worst in the virtual life of a gamer.
The first chapter of Requiem begins with an introductory video. With John you need to go to the cave, find the lift. After the next roller, turn right and go into the room for crafting weapons. Here you can improve the guns, change clothes and prepare for awesome battles.
Turn left and meet on the path of Norton and the Necromorphs. After defeating them, you can continue your journey, while fighting hallucinations and monsters.
On the way to the gorge, you need to defeat two huge necromorphs. To do this, it is enough to dodge their attacks and shoot limbs. In the cave you will have the choice to turn left or right. So you can go to the exit or to the room with supplies, respectively.
After a location with a machine tool, Isaac and John meet worms that can be defeated with stasis. Rising on the elevator, the heroes notice flying ships. You need to turn left, go straight up the stairs and then follow the corridors. In the ship Isaac is already waiting for John. At the end of the chapter, click on the button to the left of the door.
In the chapter “Wrong”, a gamer finds himself in a familiar situation: he travels on a ship, destroys enemies and opens doors. No complicated puzzles along the way happen, since everything is already known from the main series of the game. In the end, you will need to shoot the Obelisk, but dodge the obsessed.
In the third chapter you need to meet with Carver. On the way, you will have to fight monsters again in reality and in hallucinations. After killing the John clones, Isaac ends up in another world. Then he needs to destroy the prophet. We shoot at the luminous Obelisks, and when the boss is on his knees, we shoot at him.
At the end of the chapter, you need to get to the reactor by elevator. After go left and connect the panel. Thanks to stasis, we select the balls and throw them in the center. With an exact hit, platforms from different corners of the room will appear. It is necessary to destroy them. After successfully completing this location, you can run to the exit. The addition ends with the final video.
Features
Passing Dead Space 3: Awakened in difficult mode is practically no different from the usual. On the way of Isaac there are more powerful characters. It takes longer to fight them. Bosses also become stronger, so it’s better to immediately improve weapons as much as possible and be prepared for attacks.
Many players also asked how to launch the Dead Space 3: Awakened add-on. If you have a licensed version of the third chapter, then nothing is complicated. You just need to buy a DLC and install. It easily starts without errors and crashes.
If you want to play the pirated version of the add-on, you will have to look carefully to find the file without viruses and errors. Usually with such a pack comes an accompanying document that describes the rules for installing a hacked game.
Reviews and reviews
Probably the most pleasant thing was that the main characters still survived after the final events of the main part. Therefore, gamers were incredibly happy about this, although many thought it was pretty predictable.
Another good news was that the developers did not deceive about the scary scenes and the terrible atmosphere of the add-on. And if the main part is more like an action, then there are still a lot of terrible moments.
But the disadvantages can definitely be attributed to the stereotypedness of everything that is in the game and in this DLC. The developers failed to come up with anything new, so they, without hesitation, introduced all the long-used tricks and horror mechanics into a new project.
What makes a game creepy? It's clear that the main feature of the entire series of games was darkness. There were some sharp jumps from around the corner and pumping sounds. Such an atmosphere of hallucination is warmed up and, of course, the main terrible antagonist pursuing the main character, and always.
Those who love this genre and are familiar with it will not be as scared as if a new player who had never played Horror Survival got into the game. And this is perhaps the main drawback of the project. For the rest, many gamers were unhappy that they spent $ 10 per hour passing the game.
It’s not easy to say for sure whether the DLC turned out to be successful or failed. Here, opinions were divided, and you can argue on this topic endlessly.
