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. Earth is dying, many species all but extinct. 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.

The only communication they got from the surface was basically just creepy necromorph noises. As much as I’d like to think otherwise, I have a suspicion that the so-called cliffhanger ending of Dead Space: Awakened was exactly how the saga was supposed to end. 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. 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.
