Rather than sticking to the straightahead structure of Downfall, this followup opens with Aegis-7 a smoldering memory. I appreciate that Aftermath tries to do something a little different, at least. The problem's that the mythology doesn't get any deeper than 'alien rock makes people crazy', and you're 45 minutes into a 71 minute flick (minus end credits) before you catch sight of a single zombie. I guess the idea is that Aftermath further fleshes out the mythology of the Dead Space universe.

Oh! And scene after scene after scene after scene of people wandering around and talking. So, how do you follow up a lean, brutal splatterfest pitting a ragtag group of survivors against legions of undead mutants? With a story about a fist-sized rock, I guess. Yeah, don't expect to see a lot of stuff like this happening.ĭirect-to-video animated spin-off, though, so I felt like I had some idea what to expect the second time around.

I did check out Dead Space: Downfall, the first I'm a terrible person and have never gotten around to picking up any of the Dead Space videogames.
