    For the first 10 or so hours, was captivated by the visuals, atmosphere, audio and set pieces. The combat was varied enough at first to really keep me captivated and motivated to get through it. Then, at least for me, it just became way too repetitive both visually and gameplay wise. I lost interest after about 12 hours. I think I would have ranked it an 8 or a 9 if the game had been 8-10For the first 10 or so hours, was captivated by the visuals, atmosphere, audio and set pieces.

    I`d give it a 8, but it gets a 5 for their woke trash. nobody cares, doesn´t add anything to the game, if it doesn´t matter, why change it?
    Also dislike the changes to the twist and it´s too expensive for a remake. it should not be supported full price!

    I really enjoyed this game, but there are some issues. First off, it went woke like crazy. They didn’t need to incorporate The message into another game, but yet the bathrooms are all trans bathrooms. And gameplay wise, you can barely run. There is no doge mechanic either. But it’s very good at what it set out to do, and that is make you feel like it’s a dark, lonely place. It truly scaredI really enjoyed this game, but there are some issues.

    Pretty sad that the PS5 can't hold 60 frames with Dead Space. It's a great game, but it runs better on XBOX Series X (like most games that are multiplatform) and PC (the holy grail of games).

    Game was bugged out in Chapter 3 and Chapter 10. I had to restart the game from the beginning for Chapter 3 because the key item didn't spawn and I only made one save. In Chapter 10, I had to reload earlier save because the main objective was bugged out and I couldn't progress to the next chapter after launching the asteroid. These two bugs cause me losing few hours of progress.Game was bugged out in Chapter 3 and Chapter 10.

    Sometimes the door won't open and stuck on the door opening animation, so I had to close the game and open it again. Sometimes the area won't load completely and I had to wait for few seconds for it to load.    … Expand

    90% of the game is the exact same as the og game with prettier graphics which is fine since its a remake but at full price 70 dollars is laughable and it's not like its a completely brand new game that took years to create and we got people on here giving it a 10/10 and saying they love the "new EA" LMFAO

    Basically it's good but nowadays it doesn't really impress me anymore. The game has good upgrades compared to the original and isn't exactly the same so it's great for fans who played it but for someone like me who never played the original and doesn't care about the series, it didn't make me want to care about it either. Alien Isolation is much better in my eyes

    Lo malo: Las gráficas no me terminaron de convencer, el juego no se ve mal pero esperaba una mejor evolución tratándose de EA. El exceso de referencias WOKE ya cansan en las series y ahora también tenerlas que soportarlas en los juegos se vuelve fastidioso (No a todos nos gusta la Basura Progre). Sentí que el juego fue bastante más fácil que el original.

    Lo bueno: Me encanto que el juego fuera en términos generales bastante fiel al Dead Space Original, cuidaron bastante bien todos los detalles y añadieron mecánicas que sin duda ayudan al juego. He de decir que varias mecánicas como la de Gravedad Zero las toman de Dead Space 2 pero se sienten bien implementadas. Que añadieran voz a Isaac también fue un buen aporte a la historia, ya no se siente como si fueras el hombrecillo de los mandados.    … Expand

    The game as such is fantastic and definitely an improvement over the original. My complaint is regarding the constant, irritating swearing and cursing in every spoken sentence. This is an annoying habit with many new games. I like to consider a good video game as a piece of art, but the overabundance of foul language takes away from the experience.

    Huge Dead Space fan and this is alright. Looks amazing but plays exactly like it did 13 years ago. I was so excited for this and the hype was over rated big time. The Callisto Protocol exceeds this game in every way and it got over shadowed for this marketing scam? Don't get me wrong and to jump back into Deep Space and play it with this polish is pretty incredible, but not next gen.Huge Dead Space fan and this is alright.

Don't get me wrong and to jump back into Deep Space and play it with this polish is pretty incredible, but not next gen. Playing TCP and then playing this made me appreciate what an achievement TCP really is on next gen. Just the melee combat alone in TCP makes Dead Space melee combat a joke. Weapons - Once you upgrade all your weapons in TCP you are a smashing and shooting beast. In the Dead Space remake all the weapons feel very weak and not satisfying as in TCP. I think people were sold in the wrong direction here and there is something fishy between how TCP and Dead Space where marketed together when they were 2 separate games with two completely different approaches. Dead Space will always be one of my favorite space horror franchises, but now I am making room for the next big player in next gen space horror and that is The Callisto Protocol!… Expand

    A game that made a huge impact on the ps3. Playing it again, I found it outdated. I didn't feel the tense atmosphere of the original. Minor modifications to add diversity. I do not recommend.

    The game deserves a 9/10 but all the interface bugs which only allow you to quit the game and lose your progress since the last save nearly all the time is really, really annoying! Plus, the issue with the interface every time the game is launched that forces us to return to the main menu. Not acceptable for a golden game. So it is a 7 for me not more

    Ich muss meinen Eindruck auch mal zur Geltung geben ,weil ich viele Äußerungen nicht ganz nachvollziehen kann, gar die Ganzen Wertungen die Dead Space in den Himmel Heben. Vorweg Dead Space hat mich 2008 gepackt, und seitdem nicht mehr los gelassen selbst Filme und Bücher die mehr von der Lore Hergeben sind gefolgt ein Top Universum was wir bekommen haben. Somit habe ich alleine Teil 1Ich muss meinen Eindruck auch mal zur Geltung geben ,weil ich viele Äußerungen nicht ganz nachvollziehen kann, gar die Ganzen Wertungen die Dead Space in den Himmel Heben. Vorweg Dead Space hat mich 2008 gepackt, und seitdem nicht mehr los gelassen selbst Filme und Bücher die mehr von der Lore Hergeben sind gefolgt ein Top Universum was wir bekommen haben. Somit habe ich alleine Teil 1 auf dem PC gut 16 mal durch gezockt und über 10 mal auf der Ps3 (Platin), Dead Space 2 gut fast 20 mal auf der Ps3 (74% aller Trophäen) Hardcore leider nicht geschafft , Dead space 3 ist ebenfalls über 12 mal durch, ein Tolles spiel weil es eben viel Lore hergibt ( 72% aller Trophäen) Hardcore nicht geschafft bis Kapitel 19 schaffte ich es =D

    Jetzt zum Remake: Vorab es ist kein Remake in wirklichen/Praktischen Sinne , wär die Entwicklung von "Motive" verfolgt hat und diese sich über den Status oder besagte vorhaben geäußert haben weiß wovon ich rede. Das neue Dead Space was wir bekommen haben ist eine : "Aufpolierte weitergeführte Blaupause" den Umfang welches das neue hier Hat wäre damals auch so rausgekommen. Die Grafik mal außen vor wir haben jetzt ganz andere Möglichkeiten mit den Next gens usw. Den Motive sagte selbst "Wir haben Räume gefunden im ursprünglichen Spiel , die nicht fertig gestellt wurden wo man einfach ein Tür vorgesetzt hat" , das Deckt sich mit damaligen aussagen von "Glen Schofield" der uns Dead Space Entwickelt hat also "Papi" =D
    EA Dauerte die Fertigstellung schon zu Lange man kann davon ausgehen das die Entwicklung 2005 startete. Und ja es gibt hier und da Neuerungen die mir gefallen z.b die Nebenmissionen für bestimmte Charakter aus Videologs ,oder Funktionen die aus Dead Space 2 entnommen wurden die das spiel geschmeidiger machen , sowie statt nur Zero-G Schwerkraft Sprünge "Fliegen" wie im 2ten mit den Anzug Düsen , Waffen Anpassungen usw usw. Die Atmo haben sie noch mehr angepasst und den Sound was mir gut gefällt wenn man das spiel durchschreitet , es ist Dead Space und es ist schön anzusehen .Sowie auch die Anpassung der "Nekromorph Spawn Spots" die sich mit jedem durchlauf anders anfühlen.

    Jetzt zu meinen Problemen mit dem Spiel: Diverse Performance Probleme lass ich außen vor, den Zeit zum nachbessern sollte man den Entwicklern geben und nicht schon darauf rumhacken.

    Issac Spricht: Hätte ich nicht gebraucht weil man sich so noch mehr in das spiel Vertiefen konnte und die Atmo anders wirkte, aber wenn es z.b mehr Story und mehr Charakter gibt ist es angebracht z.b wie für Teil 2 und 3 aber nicht unbedingt Teil 1. Issac nimmt ab und an den Helm ab wieso? Unötig das hält eine Charakter Illusion oben die dem Spiel gut tut , was meint ihr wieso in "Dredd" von 2012 Dredd`s Gesicht nicht zu sehen ist und er den Helm nie Absetzt , sondern man nur am Anfang sieht wie er ihn Aufsetzt eben von dieser Illusion Spreche ich =D
    Der Survival Aspekt: hat in dem spiel abgenommen eben durch die Funktionen und Übernahmen aus den anderen Ablegern ,wie schon erwähnt aus Teil 2 und der Wesentlichste ist der Extra Drop durch Leichen Stampfen. Was "munitionsknappheit" völlig beseitigt , "Cut off their limbs" wenn man es richtig macht hat man selbst damals auf "unmöglich" wo der drop schon sehr beeinflusst wurde genug gehabt . Jetzt habe ich zu viel und somit noch mehr Credits die ich durch Drops/Verkaufen einnehme , und ich jeden Shop herbei sehne weil mein Inventar sich schnell fühlt . Es ist ein Herber Aspekt für Teil 1 alleine diese Funktion, hätte mir gewünscht das sie es weglassen. Selbst für Teil 2 und 3 hätte ich mir das Gewünscht im ernst gutes spielen und Planen schon bekommt das spiel noch mehr Feeling .Waffen haben kein Extra Inventar mehr und liegen im eigentlichen Inventar, was die Platzmangel Geschichte etwas Beschleunigt wieso und warum weiß man nicht .

    Die Necromorph`s : Diese Sind auch Leichter geworden, sie weichen weniger aus , die Block Funktion wenn man auf den Körper schießt ist wie verschwunden, vorher haben sie ihre Klingen vor sich gekreuzt. Von der Optik gefallen sie mir auch besser als damals, wenn da vorne noch Organe raushängen usw. Das waren noch Zeiten ja Damals nur Jetzt? Weniger die neuen Sound´s der Necromorph`s sind nicht mehr so Gruselig wie Damals das sage ich mit recht . Die neuen Sounds klingen Oft wie "Mutierte Insekten " oder eben abgeschwächter als Damals was mir einfach fehlt . "Wer Erinnert sich noch an damals , als man durch die Dunklen Gänge der Ishimura geschlichen ist und man ein Geräusch Hörte ..... und sich drehte, und mit der Waffe Zielte..... und da war nix ..und man sich wieder umdreht und Plötzlich ein "Slasher" auf dich zu gerannt kam und dieser Sound aus der Kehle gebrüllt wurde :

    I can see how it is a really good game but I am not sure I like resource constrained survival horror games anymore. I loved RE4 because I never felt like I was that short of ammo but in Dead Space I found it annoying to have to manage. Constantly running out of ammo or med packs. I think I prefer horror games that let me just go ham and blast through zombies.

    My biggest issue with Dead Space is that I simply wasn't afraid at all. The game feels like a worse version of the Resident Evil series.

The game feels like a worse version of the Resident Evil series. You get plenty of ammo to deal with any and all aliens you come across and you will come across a lot. Some weapons are clearly superior to others. In fact and I found this to be quite funny the weapons that are the far superior weapons are the tools that any mechanic would be using. They are far stronger than any military issue assault rifle or pistol that i found and tried to use only to find their damage output lacking. There are sidequests that aren't really sidequests as you will likely complete them just going about the main quest line. The sidequests felt included to just kind of check a box rather than something that a lot of time was spent on. Speaking of the story it is actually really good. It felt good slowly repairing the ship to try and make it home. The enemies are extremely fun to shoot off their limbs and there are alien possessed babies that you can stomp to death. Which I did, a lot. Took no time at all getting used to shooting off limbs instead of going for the head as that is the main gimmick with all the enemy types you come across. Their weak points are their extremities not their heads. Only negative with the combat really is the game has a really bad habit of spawning enemies behind you. Which unless you know they are there will almost guarantee you take a hit, which is an issue as the enemies deal a ton of damage. You get pseudo super powers as you cross further into the ship. With the stasis power being extremely powerful and something I found myself using for nearly every enemy encounter. You play in the third person camera angle which is great as the devs take full advantage of this by putting some of the HUD on your characters back, such as health bar and stasis meter. This was an incredible idea as it allows us to easily see our health bars and other meters without having to take our eyes away from the action. There is some resource management but you do get a ton of inventory space as you upgrade your suit, so much so I was able to carry four weapons, several stacks of ammo for each weapon and health packs. All while having room for anything I may pick up along the way to store in the store for later use. Dead Space is a game that starts out somewhat difficult but gets easier as you progress further into the game. This would vary with how much you explore and how you upgrade your weapons. Actual score of Dead Space is a 7/10, but lowered to a 6/10 because of EA being a garbage publisher that murdered Dead Space's original development studio.… 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.
