The Brethren Moons are unstoppable, and at best Isaac was only able delay things.

Lovecraftian Horror is well known for portraying helplessness and hopelessness in the face of an unstoppable Cosmic being. Even if the Necromorph apocalypse is averted, there is no saving humanity.Īs far as Dead Space's cosmic horror inspirations go the ending is suprising thematic.

How does it all end after dead space 3 Ik there's never going to be another dead space but I just want to know the final ending after 3. Its a husk of it's former self, desperately trying to hold on to any hope spot. Especially with Dead Space 3 introducing Eldritch Abomination that are the Brethren Moons.ĭead Space presents us a Humanity already pretty much dead. Dead Space, at least to me has always been a great example of Cosmic Horror in gaming. I think that Awakened closes the series on a incredibly somber but thematically appropriate note. I feel like people can't accept that as an ending because unconditional loss just isn't something you see in video games.As much as I hate the circumstances around the death of Dead Space.

All of the characters, including those that escaped to Earth, are dead. The conclusion to the series is that humans (and all life on Earth) go exstinct, and nobody can do anything to stop it. Within the three short chapters of Awakened, Visceral manage to tell a very immediate, exciting and terrifying story about these two survivors that also manages to take great strides in making Carver a more relatable and human character. The only communication they got from the surface was basically just creepy necromorph noises. I mean, you see that when they return to earth a brethren moon is basically eating the planet, and the ship that Isaac and Carver are on crashes into another one. From the very beginning of the DLC, it shows Isaac sleeping and he hears the Marker/Moon signal and that whole sequence turns out to be a delusion. The way I saw it, Isaac failed, and the brethren moons ate humanity. I'm 2 years late to this one, but when Awakening released, everyone seemed to think it ended on a cliffhanger.
