    It's not possible to rate this game good. This a "remake" according to Devs. I can accept that outline of the story is the same but i cant accept wood made animations same or almost the same like in the original (which were great at it's time), poor dialog, poor face animations, object collision detect problems, worse cameras movements, enemy damage detection problems.
    Sorry but a little

    Sorry but a little better graphics (rally not important) is not worth a sacrifices. For me it is a weird remaster maybe but broken with many aspects at the same time.
    I couldn't finish this game is a real torture. Original Dead Space is simple much better overall experience.

The origional might be older looking but at least there was a sense of environment change as you explore, changing the lighing, colour sceme and tetures made every part of the Ishimura unique...This new game uses the same wall textures , same generic clutter and furniture, same generic dynamic lighting from beginning to end and it make exploring boring. At first the game looks great , but unless your a low iq , goldfish brain the repetition in environments is going to be an issue..
    The origional had personality. Every section was fleshed out with a mix of baked and dynamic lighting, there was specific themes and colour pallets to every part of the ship...That is all gone and the new game feels like a 10 hr demo ..That is not even to mention the new crappy puzzles they added that stretches the dull areas out further or the uglification of your wife who now look like a 60 year old dude that looses their crap if you don't call them ma'am.. Please don't touch dead space 2..That's the DS that is the true Masterpiece and needs to be left alone.

    Mediocre horror game! Not one scary moment. Pretty boring gameplay and loads of gamebreaking bugs. Graphicd are also not really that good. EA games does it again!

    Awful graphics, awful controls, awful camera and bad theme. This is a pretty mediocre release in every way. Graphics are like welcome to 10 years ago. Were they blindfolded when making the camera? Main character is boring. Hopefully they dont remake the others

I won't dwell on graphics for too long since there's a video at the top of this page showcasing it, but it's worth mentioning how the game leverages modern lighting advancements to enhance the immersive setting. The brushed metal of your suit and the ship's surfaces reflect light convincingly, while the darkness truly feels deep and foreboding. Navigating through the shadows with only your torchlight heightens the tension to an impressive degree. A noteworthy detail is how the lighting ingeniously affects combat situations, as the red emergency lights flash and strobe, illuminating the encroaching creatures. With each blink, they draw closer, intensifying the adrenaline-fueled experience. Expand

Dead Space on PS5 is a chilling masterpiece that not only revitalizesAs a long-time fan of the Dead Space franchise, I was both excited and apprehensive about the series' return on the PlayStation 5. The original games were renowned for their atmospheric horror, intense combat, and gripping narrative, and I'm pleased to say that the latest installment lives up to the high expectations. Dead Space on PS5 is a chilling masterpiece that not only revitalizes the beloved series but also sets a new standard for survival horror gaming.

    Visually, Dead Space on the PS5 is nothing short of stunning. The power of the console truly shines as every gruesome detail is meticulously rendered, from the grotesque necromorphs to the dimly lit corridors of the USG Ishimura. The lighting effects and realistic character models add an extra layer of immersion, amplifying the tension and fear as you explore the derelict spacecraft.

    The sound design in Dead Space has always been one of its strongest elements, and this remains true in the PS5 version. The unsettling ambient noises, haunting whispers, and bone-chilling screams create an eerie atmosphere that keeps you on edge throughout the entire game. The implementation of the Tempest 3D AudioTech further enhances the auditory experience, making it feel like every creak and growl is coming from all directions.

    Gameplay-wise, Dead Space on PS5 strikes the perfect balance between classic mechanics and modern improvements. The zero-gravity sections are particularly impressive, taking advantage of the console's capabilities to deliver a disorienting yet exhilarating experience. The iconic "strategic dismemberment" combat system returns, allowing you to strategically target and sever limbs to dispatch enemies efficiently. The DualSense controller's haptic feedback heightens the immersion, providing a tactile sense of each swing, shot, and gruesome encounter.

    The revamped user interface is sleek and intuitive, offering a seamless way to navigate through your inventory, check objectives, and manage resources. The adaptive triggers are put to good use, simulating the resistance of various weapons and adding a satisfying weight to each action.

    While the core gameplay remains faithful to the original, the developers have taken the opportunity to introduce new features and improvements. The expanded lore and narrative elements give players a deeper understanding of the Dead Space universe, with intriguing new characters and plot twists that will keep you engaged from start to finish.

    In terms of performance, Dead Space on the PS5 runs flawlessly. The game takes full advantage of the console's hardware capabilities, delivering smooth gameplay with quick loading times and minimal frame rate drops. The inclusion of ray tracing enhances the visuals even further, adding an extra layer of realism to the dark and atmospheric environments.

    However, it's worth mentioning that the game's difficulty can be quite challenging, even for experienced players. The unrelenting waves of necromorphs and limited resources will constantly test your survival skills, making every encounter a heart-pounding struggle for survival. While this may frustrate some players, it ultimately contributes to the game's sense of tension and desperation.

    In conclusion, Dead Space on the PS5 is a masterclass in survival horror gaming. With its breathtaking visuals, immersive sound design, refined gameplay mechanics, and captivating storytelling, it successfully resurrects the franchise, catering to both longtime fans and newcomers alike. Brace yourself for a nerve-wracking journey through the depths of terror and prepare to be captivated by one of the most compelling gaming experiences available on the PS5.

    There is no Russian language. I was really looking forward to the game. But because of this attitude, many players will not play the game.

    Amazed to see so many raving reviews for what is fundamentally a sub-par game. I understand that this is a remake, but it is a AAA-game, released at full price, in 2023. So I will review it as such.

    Amazed to see so many raving reviews for what is fundamentally a sub-par game. I understand that this is a remake, but it is a AAA-game, released at full price, in 2023. So I will review it as such.

    Everybody keeps saying the graphics are better than the original. Well whoopdy-do! What did you expect? The original Dead Space is 15 years, and 2 console generations, old. Are they objectively good graphics compared to what the standard should be today? No. They're acceptable at best. Everything is pitch black. I know this is how it's supposed to be. But I just don't like it. You don't even get ray-tracing on PS5 unless you're willing to suffer 30fps, which is unplayable.

    The game suffers from the fact that it's a remake, yes - but still a very old game. This shows in the level design. It's literally the same dark, narrow corridor that you're walking around forever. There is zero variety. There are only a small handful of enemy types. The weapons are boring, the UI is clunky, the map is crap, constantly pressing R3 for the waypoint is tedious, the save system is outdated... Games were previously made like this because the technology of the day restricted game design. And this shows its age like Joe Biden at a stag-do. Similarly, the idea of a clean HUD was novel for its day, but not so much now, and the idea of shooting limbs off isn't as enticing as it was 15 years ago. Also, you only get 4 weapon slots but can carry multiple weapons meaning you have to keep swapping out in the inventory. A weapon-wheel would have fixed this.

    Giving this game a 10 out of 10, as many critics have done, is them basically saying this is as good as God of War, Elden Ring, Witcher 3, Horizon Forbidden West, Zelda, Mario etc. Electronic Arts are trying to capitalise on the Resident Evil remake successes, but those are actually amazing games even today, with interesting puzzles and fantastic stories. This has none of the charm of the RE series.

    Overall, I give this a 3 out of 10, but then it loses 3 marks for the woke, 'half man/half woman' sign outside the toilets which was not in the original, so why is it there now? The game is set in the future and you'd think that by then, we'd know that women don't want to go to the toilet and see a man waving his p*nis around in zero gravity. Stop pandering to the 0.24% of psychopaths that think they can identify as a tree, and that the rest of the world should then water them and make sure they get sunlight.

    Avoid at all costs. This will be free on PS Plus within 12 months, and even then, it won't be worth your time.

    One of the buggiest games I've played since Cyberpunk. Cannot get through the first part of the game without freezing and bugs that prevent you from continuing the game.

    First 10 minutes of the game has several bugs that you can encounter. Even on the latest patch that require a full delete of your save data and reboot. Pause during the opening cutscene to take a call or delivery... but
    One of the buggiest games I've played since Cyberpunk. Cannot get through the first part of the game without freezing and bugs that prevent you from continuing the game.

    First 10 minutes of the game has several bugs that you can encounter. Even on the latest patch that require a full delete of your save data and reboot. Pause during the opening cutscene to take a call or delivery... but then come back to AI will T pose and you can't escape the opening. Even after patches this still exists.
    If you reboot the game after dying from the first enemies, say you switch to another game or can't keep playing past the first few cutscenes. Rebooting the system will have you die while loading the game. YES while loading the game. You have a black screen showing the company logo, and the next thing you see after Dead space is your character dying. It loads your last save game when you boot but does not pause the AI! What??

    AI can T pose later in the game too preventing you from moving on. It can be hours before it happens or even not at all, but remember to save! But don't save too often, if you fill up saves, you can't get New game plus after beating it?

    Shop menus when exiting them can freeze. Requiring you to reboot the game. Do not press pause during the camera transition.

    Enemies can spawn invisibly. Items required to progress the game may not spawn for you either. Not everyone has these issues, the game is bugged in a way that isn't completely reliable. So some people like me get it, everyone else doesn't and raves about the game.

    You MUST on PS5 get the launch day patches. I think it's 2 patches in and the VRS quality makes the game look objectively bad - like they looked at it, knew something was wrong, and launched it anyway. I'm glad they fixed it launch weekend but why was it a thing to start . And their upscaling, I think their AMD upscaling makes the particle effects and dark scenes in a dark video game look terrible! It blurs all over the scene even with motion blur off, it's a "ghosting artifact". It can make people feel ill just by looking at it combined with the lighting in the game flicking tints of blue too. Quality mode is awful too since it butchers the frame rate to below 30 which makes this issue even more nauseous. That is not patched. so PS5 users should consider the PC version if this bothers or even makes you sick. Even the shop menus have little white dots appearing but they don't smear because it's stationary. The shops are in game so the upscaling hurts it

    disappointed in this release so buggy for many people reporting the issues, they'll ignore them. not patching fast. Xbox Series X now has crashes for people post patch. I'm hearing stuttering on PC is terrible. not a single platform has the "best" version to play because they're all flawed? Go play Russian roulette with $80,

    Disgraceful double dipping. $A109. For a game that is the same game just a reskin? Not a sequel but the same game just wrapped in a PS5 wrapper and being resold. $A20 is even asking way too much. Glad I bought Hogwarts at least it’s a new experience.

    Isaac Clarke's original adventure is back in a new format, which has more depth in story and freedom in terms of gameplay. As a result, the game is recognizable, yet not the same which makes for a nice result. The game also has impressive graphics and the audio is unnervingly strong. That the game has some minor flaws we take for granted, because this horror adventure is recommended to everyone.
