Review of Dead Space: Aftermath (2011) by Brent D — 27 Jul 2011

Really cool stuff and a must have for fans of the Dead Space franchise. The whole flashback section (or sections, depending on how you see it) has a definite "Aliens" feel to it, from the chatter of the team to the mood of the Necromorph attack in space happening while all systems are failing.

The interrogation sequences leading up to each of those sections are a little less exciting and are basically there to provide a framework for the meat of the story, but since both the flashbacks and the interrogations are equally well-written there's not that much room for complaint.

Best of all, the ending is perfectly in keeping with the games and provides a nice sequeway to Dead Space: Ignition and through it, Dead Space 2.
