    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!

    Gran juego en una plataforma mal adaptada. Cargas lentas, elementos en pantalla que tardan en cargar, y fallos grƔficos menores.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Remake worth 60$? -Absolutely not

    I played the first Dead space 1 just some years ago, and I didnt think this ever needed a remake. The original game is maybe the best horror game ever made for reasons that have been absolutely done to death. The plot, characters and graphics go closest to 10/10 this genre has to offer. Only few bugs come to mind that interrupted the perfect gamplay, such as in Chapter 4 start you go to the bridge and the tram tunnel is visibly glitching through if you look at the window on left side.

    This remake should be reviewed like the Disneys new Lion king: Taking into account only the graphic and plot changes. That perspective completely fails in IGN and Gamespot reviews to mention some "official" reviews. I got a feeling most people played this game while never playing the original to be able to actually compare the versions and just slapped 9/10 in overall category. ItĀ“s got a good plot -just like in 2008. It has good horror atmosphere...just like in 2008. You see where im going?

    Objectively I think this game deserves two different scores that are:
    Graphics changes 6/10
    Plot/character changes 3/10

    First the graphics. The graphics are mostly excellent quality, there is no denying. The problem is that this is Rings of Power version of good as maybe you have a super stunningly looking project, but the cost-quality is just ridiculous. The price of this game is currently between 50-60$ which is almost as much rip-off as The last of us 1 remake, being as expensive that the damn game that already existed 15 years ago. And lets be real, when you were looking at Aegis VII from the bridge windows in 2008, I think hardly anyone had complains of the quality of graphics at the time. On the other side with this price tag im expecting some top-notch-quality but then theres things like Nicole Brennan. Why?? Nicole and Isaac Clarke are supposed to be in their 30s, like an ordinary couple trying to survive in this dystopia. Nicole looks in DS1 and DS: ingition pretty much the same, also in dead space comic book and in movie DS:Downfall the same visuals are still there. Then theres DS 2 that makes Nicole look like a distorted and creepy version of her which I can forgibe since she is just a hallusination screaming and trying to kill Isaac most of the game. In this remake version however Nicole looks like shes straight up 50 years old. Im not going to go deeper into this but the point is not all graphics look so fantastic. Maybe the joke was Isaac is into MILFs?

    The plot changes. Oh boy where I even begin? Every major plot/character change in this game is done worse than original. The game succeeds best on the little details, like captain Matthius turning into necromorph or secret ending. The big changes gave me an impression they didnt want to go full Disney remake-mode here copying the exact same product twice to better graphics so they though the had to change a few things here and there. But as I said, these changes are not generally good. Like giving the 2 Kelion crewmates more importance than being just necroporph cannonfodder at the very beginning. In the original these 2 cremates (Chen and Johnston a.k.a mustache man) instalty die to necromorphs leaving Isaac, Kendra and Hammond to survive alone. This feeling of complete hopelesness and loneliness of the situation changes when interaction is enforced by 2 ways: making Chen the necromorph that just happens to be the one that infects USM Valor and just happens to be the one that end up killing Hammond. Like really? I have never shaken my head to deus ex machina in a video game this bad. The other change is completely turning the mustache man to a black woman for no apperent reason, pretty much the same style what they did with blue fairy in new Pinocchio. And I though Johnston had a bad fate when he gets mauled and decapitated in the original game. Being a 2020s game I could get more into detail how "wokeness" has infiltated this game in a few sneaky ways like making Kendra, a secret government agent and ruthless killer apparenly a lesbian or making the toilets fricking all-genders neutral with symbols in 2500s deep space mining vessel. But since this game is labelled as horror I can give it a pass.

    OVERALL CONCLUSION:
    A new expensive remake that follows Disneys and The Last of us 1 remakes: the failure of sequels to beloved franchise result in milking the original project to death. Step in USG Ishimuras gender-neutral toilets as this new installment gives a surpise twists with Elizabets Cross and Zach Hammond, making your favorite characters die now more innovately that should be possible in 4K Ultra HD graphics.    … Expand

    Not worth a ridiculous Ā£69 for a remake. The game is still great, a shame the PS5 version with a controller and minimal aim assist makes it almost unplayable. I would purchase this on sale for PC.

    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,    … Expand

    Woke garbage, removed any kind of difficulty from the game even on hard mode, they deviated from the original story to much, there is to much missing, its like they listened to the useless game journalists that cant play games and watered down the game, its not a remake, its a bastardization.

    This game is a steaming pile of garbage. The greedy developers are charging $70 for a remake that is over 14 years old. Remember when remakes would cost less than the original?

The campaign is too short. It lasts about 8-9 hours and it's linear with no multiplayer. The physics are beyond horrible. The story is garbage. The gameplay is boring and repetitive. The level design is trash. It's just corridor after corridor, meaning the outrageous price of $70 isn't justified since these lazy developers didn't had much work to do.

    As I mentioned earlier, there's no multiplayer. So once you beat the campaign, there is literally not a reason to play this game again. Charging $70 for a game with no replay value is a cash grab. Yeah I get it, the original Dead Space had no multiplayer, but I have played multiple remakes that added multiplayer. EA are too cheap and greedy to add online. The only good thing in this game is graphics, but the graphics sacrificed the multiplayer and physics. $70 for half of the game is a joke, especially when it's extremely short. What am I suppose to do after beating the story, play the same boring trash again? I demand multiplayer. I don't recommend this game at all.    … Expand

Ridiculous.. there's plenty of characters, scenes and dialogues have been changed in this game for no reason when all they had to do is just upgrade the graphic. Voice acting really feels awful and actors seem bored out of their mind while speaking. There's no emotion in their voice at all. Also they added a lot of cutscenes in this remake that was not in original. At times it feels like they made it more like a movie for some reason. Immersion is low, npc move like robots. It really does feel like a cash grab. Where they put low effort in this remake so they can cash it of a good will of origin game. It's ridiculous that they charge 70$ for a 15 years old gameplay and story. Heavily disappointed in this remake.… Expand

    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.
