    Most of these negative reviews here are by people who haven't even played it or they are angry that they can't pirate it, so now they whine here and on steam forums.

    I have thoroughly enjoyed this game so far. The combat system is very satisfying and is very nostalgic. It's great that they have added additional puzzle types through the power systems, i.e to power up the doors you need to power down the lights/oxygen tanks/gravity to re direct the power.

I really like the ability to go back to previous areas in which you may have missed a schematic, weapon, collectible etc. I do have a couple of points to give in relation to areas I think the game needs working on and it's not being negative or anything. 1. Sometimes you can encounter an awkward autosave moment when your about to die. This happened to me twice on my initial playthrough. 2. The map is a bit awkward to skim through each area. 3. The impossible mode should have been more aligned to the hardcore mode in previous games, allowing one save for 10 hours approx is a bit much and I reckon there should be atleast three saves. I don't ever game for five or so hours straight (I know alot of people do). 4. Sometimes you may accidentally pick up and play an audio log at the same time you're trying to listen to what Isaac and crew etc are trying to explain to each
    other. Otherwise well done.    … Expand

    This is a must have game for fans of both Sci-fi and horror. A brilliant remake of a survival horror classic. The new additions they added to the story, lore, gameplay, and level design feel so well integrated that you’d never think they were new additions. Motive should be really proud of what they have done here.

    This is a dope game, especially since I never played the original trilogy. The rumble features and sound are the best I've experienced yet on Series X. The only complaint is that they corridors and rooms get repetitive quickly. Despite that, the zero-g combat is tons of wonky fun.

The only thing I can say bothered me was the fact that kinesis has a habit of grabbing everything except what I don't want sometimes, but it's hardly anything that really harms the experience. If you're planning on picking this up, play it on hard mode on your first run. There is a dramatic difference between normal and hard, and hard mode provided the good challenge and tension I wanted, forcing me to be careful and consider all my options to survive. While I wouldn't say this game is a replacement for the original, it's certainly a faithful complement to it, and both games stand on their own well enough, but taken together it makes a perfect combination.… Expand

    A true remake that will please fans of the saga as well as new players. Everything is working great, in addition to following the original game, several new features are in the game, Isaac now speaks and bringing in the old voice actor was a perfect move. A respectable remake that will be a springboard to remake the second title in the franchise.

    A Horror Series with no true equal. A Classic given new life. A Remaster far surpassing the original. New ideas, new story beats, more fleshed out and real looking characters, more attention to the now much better written lore.

    Motive deserves Dead Space. Motive deserves all the praise.
    Dead Space NEEDS Motive, and Motive NEEDS to Remake Dead Space 2 and 3 already, and THEN make Dead Space 4.

    I mean, the rest of the reviews here already explain it. This is a remake Dead Space deserved. It's on par with Resident Evil 2 one. Everything that could have been improved from the original has been done so - next-gen graphics, superb sound design, tweaks to the gameplay, more rich and extensive story. It's all there. I expected the remake to be good, but not this good.

    Now that it'd been remastered I have thrilled to say it's an incredible job, the game feels like a brand new game released for this generation.
    Dead Space is in my opinion the best sci-fi horror. It perfectly recreates the atmosphere of a Resident Evil game, but in space and without the puzzles. It's very much a survival horror, and whilst inventory management is in the game, it's pretty minimal - which I'm thankful for.

    What Dead Space does incredibly well is leaves you along to play the game. It's fairly linear and even offers a waypoint path finder system to illuminate where you should go next, yet the game doesn't feel heavy-handed in forcing you to a path> Without the puzzle-solving to unlock paths, you'd be forgiven for assuming this game would get boring but the atmosphere is thick and the game doesn't hold your hand with combat encounters. Ammo is sparse and upgrading armor (suit) and weapons takes time.
    The story is also pretty interesting. Again very resident evil, that half the story is told by logs lying around, both audio logs and text logs. The rest is in-game cutscenes and video calls. I like this method of story telling as it allows you to immerse yourself as much you you choose.

    I very much hop they remaster Dead Space 2, as that was also a fantastic game.    … Expand

But otherwise, this is actually an incredible, well-done remake. You can really tell that the developers took a lot of time going through the original Dead Space and determined what was important to expand upon and keep the way it was. A great example being the tram system/the way each sector of the Ishimura is now interconnected. That was such a brilliant Idea that really makes this environment feel alive. Another example being the tension between Nicole and Isaac (without spoiling anything) in this title. I was always aware of this being part of the cannon, but to see it fleshed out and actually presented to the player is just some very good hindsight that was implanted into the game.

    I genuinely believe (even with my small nitpicks) that this is an excellent example of redesigning a classic title. Furthermore, I actually really hope through this that Motive Studios are allowed to re-imagine Dead Space 2. Heck, I even hope that they are allowed to be in charge of remastering/re-releasing Dead Space 1 - 3 for modern platforms.

    I never thought that I would ever experience a Dead Space game again. My favourite video-game franchise. This was such a pleasant surprise and such a lovely way to start the new year. Thank you motive studios.

    (on a side note)
    People complaining about the game being 'made-woke' are brain-dead. The only thing I'm sure that they cut is a certain npc with their lips cut open laughing on a medical table. Otherwise, the ethnicity of these characters are the same as they were in the original title. To even feel the necessity to complain about this is genuinely brain-dead in itself. Also, who cares if Nicole and Isaac look younger or older. It really doesn't talk away from the game's central narrative. Y'all are just silly.    … Expand

    If we are starting to talk about plot of the game, i must admit a new breathtaking direction of cutscenes, and how they evolved from original.The plot is nearly the same as it was in original, but - from the start of the game we can see Isaacs face, and they’ve rebuilt final plot twist right before final boss. But i think for new players, this games plot will be really interesting and it will stimulate to finish the game. And also developers added some side-quests, that expand already perfect lore to a new level.
    Also i would like to admit amazing reworks of bosses, such as second fight with Leviathan, that became a complete challenging bossfight comparing with the original. Also for me, bossfight with Hunter was much more challenging and more interesting than it was in original.
    Overall, theres nothing more to say, if you played the original i highly recommend playing this game, and if, on a gods name, u haven’t played original game - Dead Space Remake is a must play for you. A masterfully crafted horror game, with interesting story and challenging gameplay deserves your attention.

I would definitely recommend picking this game up, but I'd wait for the price to go down a bit; $70 is quite a large sum of money. I look forward to seeing what Motive Studio makes next.

Lots of little detail like that could have been changed or tuned in but they just went for the core of the game. Its a nice game but I think they should have gone further and changed some of the designs to make it more authentic and immersive. Nobody leaves digital pads with notes on it, I don't want to read about the ship designers name origin. The story telling is kinda meh. Make me believe im Isaac instead. So I say its a great game, lots of scare and fun. But a failed remake if the intention was to upgrade this to the new generation. In comparison the Resident Evil 2 remake is couple of years older and was even better.… Expand

The story is a little muddled, and the ending seems choppy at best, but I loved it overall. Really hoping second and third are remade. Bravo.

    This Remake also added optional missions which allows you to uncover more things that went on board the Ishimura as well as and AI director that can cause enemies to spawn in previously explored locations. This can lead to each playthrough being different and can lead to some pretty intense moments.

    These are but of a few things this remake has improved and I am very happy that this game was handled with care by the developers and look forward to the second game, which is my favorite, getting the same treatment.    … Expand

Which makes me all the more satisfied for me to say that not only has EA Motive delivered on that, but I would also argue that there's no reason to pick up the OG since this remake is that astonishing and certainly up there as some of the better video game remakes as of recently. Right off the bat, I'm probably one of the few supporters of Isaac's voice in this game since it gives him a personality and human charisma that was straight up non-existent in the original, the scares are admittedly not very scary for me personally (although I suppose it's because I usually don't get scared by a lot of things nowadays), the atmosphere though, is so much better here that I was always unsettled no matter what, the zero-gravity sections are INFINTELY better here compared to the original since Isaac floats and can move in all directions compared to the stiff Superman jumps here did in the OG. The bad meteor destroying mini-game in the OG is replaced entirely with linking your weapons to the cannons and shooting them that way, THE LEGENDARY FOAM FINGER IS BACK and just like in Dead Space 2 and 3, it never gets old seeing there enemies you tried to run away from wishing they could run away from you, the way it subverts expectations by getting you ready for something just like in the OG only to do something different to catch you off guard. One thing I appreciate the most is how the game is done in one shot like the recent God of War games to keep the game immersive although it kinda felt weird here for me since the God of War games had a lot of cutscenes and coming from those to a game that barely had any felt strange. The entire Ishimura is non-linear this time allowing you to backtrack to places you haven't been to before and before you think this causes the game to get boring since this could you'll go back to rooms you've potentially already cleared, the developers thought ahead and placed dynamic enemy placement so you'll stay on the edge of your seat regardless you cleared out a room or not. The game also introduces side quests and I wasn't sure if I was gonna like them since DS3's left me divided but honestly even though they're short, the fact they expand on the lore of this means they have a place in this game. The combat is still so satisfying with it flows and it's even better with some old abilities getting new purposes. The characters remain spot on and the performances given from the actors are so much better than the OG, the soundscape is better than pretty much ANY HORROR GAME out in the moment due to how the direction of the sound changes depending where Isaac is positioned, and then there's one more thing that makes it truly special: it's just so beautiful. Now I'm not saying that just in terms of the graphics (like genuinely, it is a genuine looker), there's also the smaller details like when Isaac sees messed up stuff, the controller vibrates to replicate his heartbeat, the enemies now have a peeling system to make killing them more realistic, and depending on his health, Isaac's tone wills sound different. Overall, I hope my fellow PS brothers can enjoy this game because I strongly recommend this game from the top of my heart because it really is that amazing and here's hoping EA Motive can learn from this to help give Dead Space 2 and 3 the respect they deserve (although 3 is gonna need to start from scratch for that to happen) and maybe even move the franchise forward… Expand

    I simply cannot **** believe that Dead Space is back. I never really like DS1, I found it to be kinda poorly designed and narratively thinly sketched. I truly became a fan with DS2, and while I did go back to DS1 when I was in college, it didn't click for me the way I hoped. I appreciated the art direction and aesthetic, but everything else was severely lacking. I felt for the longest timeI simply cannot **** believe that Dead Space is back.

I truly became a fan with DS2, and while I did go back to DS1 when I was in college, it didn't click for me the way I hoped. I appreciated the art direction and aesthetic, but everything else was severely lacking. I felt for the longest time that the events of Dead Space 1 were better left to interpretation in my mind, or vague memories and just play DS2 solo. While I do still believe you can technically do that, there was something missing whenever I did. Whether it be that extra bit of narrative context, or just worldbuilding. It's funny because neither of those elements are properly satiated in DS1, so it used to be in a state of limbo.

    I was really on board for the idea of a DS1 remake since it was an experience that I felt was lacking. My hype plummeted after watching the 18 minute preview, where we saw the prologue in full. Idk what I was expecting, but that didn't do it for me. I assumed the game would just be a superficial retread with occasional dialogue inserted from Isaac with no narrative thrust or agency. I was afraid that Motive would be too afraid to change things, but luckily they did. It is still pretty faithful to the original's skeletal story, but it drapes a lot around those bones to fill it in. Isaac's arc is a bit understated until act 3, when you finally understand his motivations through the side missions, and I was enthralled. His arc is of futility, naïvete and trying to make sense of the unknown. He can't save everyone, and that eats at him. He's so self-assured and singular minded that his decisions do more harm than good, despite his good intentions. No, he doesn't accidentally kill people but I'm really happy Motive took this direction, because it feels consistent to his characterization in DS2. Motive really understands Dead Space, and I was blown away by the end of the game.

    I will play this alongside Dead Space 2 for the foreseeable future. This filled a void that I didn't know I needed filling. It enhances Dead Space 2. I didn't think this remake could do that. EA dug the **** out of their ears and let a studio make a **** game for once. Dead Space is back. I'm pissed that EA drove it into the ground for expecting a survival horror game to make FIFA money, and ultimately chased trends into oblivion, but Motive did such a good job here. I can never forgive what they did to Visceral, but I have to admit this game is better than the original. It sucks that it took Capcom's success to convince EA to give Dead Space a second chance, but I'll take it. Just fix 3 please.    … Expand

I was a little cautious of the newly released remake, mainly due to EA's current reputation, and was not initially planning on playing through this story again. But I saw the positive buzz and decided to go for it and am pleased to say that it is a great showing and a good improvement on all the baseline factors that made the original game great.
    The gameplay is very tight if keeping to standard 3rd person horror shooter conventions. The combat is tense and focused in short adrenaline rush fueled bursts of hectic gameplay. This is all fueled by the best in class atmosphere and sound design. The massive, monster overrun ship you are exploring is literally breaking at the seams, creaking, busting pipes, falling debris, etc. all add to the tension that the game is trying to build. As you get to later sections of the game you begin to hear screams and whispers constantly as the main character starts to fall under the effects of the marker, the alien artifact that was brought on board and caused all this carnage.
    The story of dead Space is your typical sci-fi horror dreck. As previously mentioned this seemingly dangerous marker was brought on to the ship because the captain and many of the commanding officers are members of the church of unitology, a religion that believes these markers will help them transcend to the next plane of existence, or something like that. The game does a great job through text and audio logs explaining why this church and religion is dangerous and is mostly based around tricking their flock into donating money and possessions while hoarding power. For all effective purposes they are Scientology.
    I do hope that this leads to some new games and experiences within the dead space universe. While there are now a few more examples of this genre done right, Prey (2017) being the main example, this is still an area that can see some exciting and great new developments in the years to come.    … Expand

    The changes here feel earned, and really manage to blur the line between the OG game and a modern release.
    The original holds up well for a 2008 release, but the fresh look and visual redesign are absolutely impeccable. It holds the same tone and amazing ambience that the original had, while elevating it with the new lighting and smoke effects.
    It’s a stark reminder of just how good the OG Dead Space was, and just how sad it is that the series took the sharp turn in the wrong direction that it did.
    If this opens the door to remakes of 2 and 3 (which I would be so onboard with), I desperately hope that they open up 2 a little to make it less of a straight corridor in terms of level design, and for 3.. well, maybe they should just REmake 3 from the beginning, and actually make something approximating a survival horror game.

    BEFORE WE START:
    Dead Space Remake was developed by Motive Studio and published by Electronic Arts. This title is a true reproduction of the original 2008 game, produced by the now-defunct Visceral Games. This product sets itself apart from the various remakes in today's market by offering new mechanics and paths compared to the original. The game has been 100% completed on Xbox Series X.

    THE NIGHTMARE BEGINS, AGAIN:
    Dead Space Remake begins with an introductory scene to the game's story, showcasing the various members of the expedition, including the legendary engineer Isaac Clarke, the protagonist of the entire trilogy. Unlike the original, he now has an uncovered face and sets the stage for the continuous feast of visual and auditory delights that this remake offers to players of all categories. In fact, this cutscene fully showcases the graphical muscle it brings, with extreme attention to detail and visual effects, coupled with technically impressive audio. After this sequence, the player finds themselves guiding the engineer through the doors of the USG Ishimura, a massive galactic spacecraft dedicated to mining giant stars.

    LOST IN SPACE-SHIP:
    By now, the gaming industry has accustomed us to seeing great remakes adding a couple, or even no new mechanics compared to the originals. Fortunately, Dead Space doesn't disappoint in this regard either. Several sections have been updated and modified to provide a different experience even for those who have played the original. One significant mechanic that has significantly changed the approach to certain areas is the energy convoy system. This allows the player to redirect energy to specific structures such as elevators or doors at the expense of life support systems or, even worse, lights. This obviously adds more variety compared to Dead Space's typical linearity and gives the player more decision-making power. Finally, the last two major changes are the addition of more interactive objects on the map for defensive use, such as carts or pipes that can be used as spears, and the ability to explore a fully interconnected Ishimura, blocked only by security doors accessible during the story.

    THE VISIONS IMPROVED THE GRAPHIC:
    It's challenging not to fall into banality when talking about a remake that has improved every single aspect of the game. The lighting has been extensively enhanced and structured to evoke different sensations such as anxiety and anguish, or tranquility and solitude. The colors, faithful in every situation, perfectly convey the feeling of being immersed in deep space. The attention to detail, whether it's the decorative posters, billboards, wall writings, or various objects found throughout the game, builds a silent narrative necessary for such a dark title. Of course, there are some minor flaws, such as the animations, which are still below par compared to the rest, and some final cutscenes that feel hastily thought out and concluded.

    SOMETHING IS COMING:
    The audio department, even more than the graphics, showcases a remarkable technical level. For this title, a new 3D audio technology was used, which utilizes extremely realistic sound waves that bounce off surfaces just like in the real world. It's worth noting that you need headphones with 3D audio to fully exploit this feature, but the regular audio, which is meticulously crafted, is still impressive in its own right. Focusing on the 3D audio, it's one of the best, if not the best, on the market, and it's especially utilized to its full potential in a game like this. By using this feature, you can hear enemies climbing walls or rooftops, allowing you to predict their direction. You can hear entities approaching from walls several meters away. Not only does this make the experience smoother, but it also makes it extremely more horrifying and scary due to the unpredictability of certain sounds.

    WHY A 10? (9.5)

    PROS:
    Dead Space Remake, a reproduction of an already established masterpiece, improves upon 95% of the original, offering a multitude of new mechanics and approaches, a backtracking system, and terrifying audio and visual aspects. These aspects make it feel like a new game even for those like me who have completed the first Dead Space multiple times. Additionally, it provides access to the Impossible difficulty right from the first playthrough, a brilliant choice that allows veterans to enjoy a completely balanced challenge from the start.

    CONS:
    The negative aspects of this masterpiece are limited to the simple question, "Was it necessary?" This is because the original Dead Space from 2008 didn't need a remake. I believe that every fan of the saga would have appreciated a sequel or spin-off of the trilogy much more than this reproduction.

    RATINGS:
    Gameplay: 10

    I went in with low expectations, because the hype was too much to me. I clearly see why it's hyped up. This is a solid remake. The sound design is wonderful. I can't put it down. Hard mode could definitely be harder, it's a breeze. Glad to see this game doing so well

    Was honestly one of those that thought the original didn't need to be remade as it aged well, however, EA Motive proved me wrong with this outstanding remake.

    A true survival horror masterpiece. Variety of well designed weapons, incredible graphics, immersive sound design. This game has it all. The only downside is some boss battles are repetitive and easy to master.

    Haters will never be whole again!

    This game is simply amazing. It takes everything that original did well and brings all those things to next level + adds so much more and improves literally everything!

This game will be new landmark and benchmark for every upcoming video    Haters will never be whole again!

    Graphics are next level, this is what modern video game graphics should look like. Sound design in fantastic! This game will be new landmark and benchmark for every upcoming video game remake. Sorry RE2 (still very nice) and RE3 remakes (meh), but it's time to step aside, Dead Space holds the crown now!

    I can't believe i'm saying this and i'm saying this as one of the biggest fans of Resident Evil 4, but Capcom really needs to bring their A-Game, if they want to be on same level with this masterpiece.

    Fully explorable ship makes the game so much more immersive, you can go back any time to any part of the ship (of course you need to unlock that part first, but most of the ship is unlocked by chapter 6/7. Side quests are also nice addition. I mean, why not? I enjoyed them.

    Overall every boss fight is better than the one from the OG (and they were already solid in OG). Zero-G free flying is one of the most fun i have had in a long time. There's so many areas you can explore thanks to updated Zero-G.

    As the old saying goes, nothing is perfect, but this one gets very close. This is a must buy for anyone who likes Horror games.    … Expand

    Esse jogo é incrível, eu tento procurar defeito nele, mas para mim não existe, não tive problemas com bugs e quedas de fps, o jogo tem mudanças mais do que o suficiente para se considerar um remake, e eu acho que ele vai virar exemplo para fazer remakes

    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.
