I corridoi claustrofobici della Ishimura trasmettono tutto l’orrore che il protagonista si trova costretto a vivere nel corso dell’avventura. La storia è molto coinvolgente e ben narrata, i file audio che troverete nel gioco approfondiranno un bel po’ alcuni aspetti della lore e saranno molto interessanti da ascoltare, il tutto culmina in un bel finale con vari colpi di scena. La commistione tra sci-fi e horror è uno degli aspetti più riusciti del prodotto, i necromorfi sono i nemici più azzeccati che abbia mai visto in vita mia se contestualizzati a questo tipo di atmosfera e la meccanica dello smembramento risulta ancora oggi fresca e mai noiosa, per smbrare occorreranno delle armi smembranti per l’appunto, e via di lame al plasma, seghe telescopiche e chi più ne ha più ne metta. La pesantezza nei movimenti di Isaac e l’interfaccia integrata nell’iconica tuta di Isaac senza orpelli visivi a schermo poi rende il tutto molto immersivo, credibile e vi farà sentire costantemente esposti al pericolo. L’esperienza audio è letteralmente meravigliosa (giocatelo in cuffia!), lamenti, urla, sussurri, canzoncine macabre, rumori di macchinari, sbuffi e quant’altro costituiscono il fiore all’occhiello del prodotto e vi faranno saltare spesso dalla sedia, graficamente invece mi aspettavo qualcosina in più, nonostante sia oggettivamente un bel vedere. Difetti tutto sommato non riesco a trovarne troppi a parte una certa linearità e ripetitività di fondo che però non si farà sentire troppo dato che tranciare arti risulta divertente fino alla fine e la trama è sempre coinvolgente. In definitiva avrei mantenuto il prezzo un po’ più basso considerata la natura di remake del titolo, le aggiunte ci sono, sono gradevoli e faranno il piacere dei fan di lungo corso, ma non sono neanche troppo incisive, ma forse meglio così, appare chiaro come gli sviluppatori non abbiamo voluto alterare in alcun modo l’opera originale, ma bensì arricchirla e svecchiarla senza mai strafare. Lo consiglio a chi l’ha già giocato in origine e soprattutto a chi non vi si è mai approcciato, in quanto godrete direttamente della versione definitiva. Fateci un salto! Difficilmente scorderete la USG Ishimura.… Expand

    Felt like coming home. Isaac and the necromorphs are back with a brand new paint job and a thorough tune up. Loved the atmosphere of the ship, the eerie sounds with the subtly mixed in sounds of monstrous cries. The flushed out lore, taking what was built up from three main entry games to expand the world of Dead Space.

    Sin embargo el juego está muy lejos de ser perfecto. Me encontré con un bug en el capítulo 10 y stuttering en momentos muy puntuales que son mínimos, pero están ahí. La mayoría de lo que agrega y lo que retocan lo hicieron muy bien (lore expandido y gameplay más fluido pero a la vez reminiscente del original por mencionar algunos elementos), pero existen sus excepciones que lo alejan de ese 10.

    El remake cuenta con una serie de detalles, los cuales no restan a la experiencia en general, pero de haberse resuelto antes de su lanzamiento hubieramos tenido un juego aún más redondo y además de que son lo suficientemente notorios para pasarlos por alto. En este caso solo mencionaré el que me parece más importante y con el que más tengo problemas:

    - Animaciones de movimiento de Isaac poco naturales.
    Al rehacerse las animaciones siento que hubieron aspectos que se pasaron por alto, resultando en
    un movimiento "raro" del protagonista por llamarlo de alguna forma. En ocasiones cuando giras
    sobre tu propio eje o te mueves en diagonal/lateralemnete los pies de Isaac no se mueven por un
    momento, lo que resulta en un deslizamiento sobre el suelo, lo cual, hace sentir al jugador que el
    juego no está completamente pulido, por lo menos en este aspecto. Aunado a lo anterior, Isaac ni
    siquiera tiene una animación para cuando tiene baja salud, cosa que si existía en el original.
    Entiendo que implementaron el sistema A.L.I.V.E. que hace el juego mas inmersivo, pero mi
    duda es, si ya implementaste ese sistema, ¿Por qué dejar de lado la animación que denota que
    Isaac está herido?. Me parece una oportunidad desperdiciada, ya que, pudieron implementar dicha
    animación y además hacer que Isaac corriera mas lento al estar en este estado, transmitiendo una
    mayor tensión al jugador.    … Expand

    Looking at all the recent and upcoming horror game remakes and sequels, I was interested in but not particularly excited for the Dead Space remake. I was a fan of the first two games, but it had been some time since I’d played them… and in this horror game renaissance, the Dead Space remake has a lot of competition.

    Now? I can’t think of a game that has made me want a sequel so badly, so    Looking at all the recent and upcoming horror game remakes and sequels, I was interested in but not particularly excited for the Dead Space remake. I was a fan of the first two games, but it had been some time since I’d played them… and in this horror game renaissance, the Dead Space remake has a lot of competition.

    Now? I can’t think of a game that has made me want a sequel so badly, so fast after completing it. This remake makes a compelling case that Dead Space is not only worthwhile, but has an essential place in gaming right now. Why? Because Dead Space strikes a nearly perfect balance between action and horror, and demonstrates to me, like no other game has, that fun and fear do not always have to compete. Usually, they do—action games empower players, while survival horror games constrain them to create a feeling of vulnerability. But Dead Space manages to maintain real tension even as it gives you the tools to deftly take out small hordes of necromorphs. A lot of that has to do with the visuals and *superb* audio design and music—not to mention what Dead Space does best, immersion—but it’s also the franticness of combat as you juggle weapons and try to keep necromorphs at bay. Dead Space could benefit from being scarier in some ways—it’s certainly not the scariest horror game I’ve played—and I’d also like to see a sequel (a DS2 remake) expand further on the combat and find new ways to empower the player. The key here is that this remake makes me think both are actually, simultaneously possible. Story — the game’s narrative isn’t an all time great, but it is fully convincing. It feels seamless, and benefits a lot from the game’s commitment to immersion in all its aspects (from the in-universe UI to the single continuous camera shot approach). The writing is good, the voice work is great.

    Combat — every single weapon is a blast and is useful in some way. This might be the most fun I’ve had with a flamethrower in a game (they often suck). The combat becomes bliss when you’re juggling multiple weapons, using their alt-fires, and mixing in telekineses and stasis. The dualsense features are very well implemented and add a lot to the feel of combat.

    Graphics and audio — the game looks fantastic, with some minor caveats. It doesn’t reach the levels of fidelity that one might hope for in a current-gen-exclusive remake. The lighting is great overall, but transitions from light to shadowed areas can seem off at times. The audio design, however, is top tier. Play with good headphones and turn on 3D audio.

    Performance — I experienced no serious issues. The game appeared to maintain solid 60 fps except in one single area, a large elevator that you return to a few times. As necromorph corpses started to pile up in that elevator, the framerate started taking serious hits.    … Expand

    Haven't played the original and kind of glad I didn't. This game felt like it was made for 2023. The controls are fluid and a lot less restricted as I've experienced in Callisto Protocol. The world feels griping and very immersive. The combat feels modern, fun, and very satisfying. I couldn't find one complaint about the game.

    Dead Space succeeds at everything it tries to accomplish. It maintains enough of the originals DNA to feel true to that experience, while offering enough new additions to feel fresh for returning players. It is an absolute masterclass in story, character, gameplay, atmosphere, and most importantly, horror.

    I’ve never played the original version so I didn’t have any expectations. There is a lot of things to like about this game; it looks good, the controls are good, there is always a waypoint so you know where to go which is something I appreciate.

    Some memorable scenes like Zero gravity rooms and boos fights. Cool weapons and upgrade. The story is ok but gameplay is fantastic!

    A perfect recreation of the original game, merged with the more sleek combat flow of Dead Space 2. I completed this game twice, both on PS5 and Xbox SX as the core combat loop is incredibly fun even on harder difficulties.

    Such a great time for horror fans.

    I did however experience 2 hard crashes throughout my numerous playthroughs, both of which were on PS5.

Adaptive triggers work with each shot from each weapon in their own way with a vibration that gives an even greater experience as if you were in the game. Save point also plays a role to save exactly where you want because you never know where the check point will take you back.

    1) Atmosphere is intense and scary. I definitely pooped myself a few times. Always on the edge of my seat. 2) Story is great!

    Only a few minor cons. Weapon variety is GOOD but could be better. Enemy variety is GOOD but could be better. I would also loved to have seen visual, aesthetic upgrades to the space suit. It would have added a nice element to feeling like an alien slaying badass.    … Expand

    Absolutely incredible Remake of the legendary game, visuals are standing even on PS5. There is nothing to say more because the original game exists since 2008. And it must be pointed out that feminism is out of control, Nicole Brennan was made much older and uglier, and Kendra Daniels was converted into a woman. That is really bad when you are forced to do it everywhere no exceptions.

    The game is good. But that's because it's almost the exact same game as the original, just with with better graphics and improved audio... and a few gameplay elements added, very minor. I don't feel like this should be considered a remake, it's a remaster. I bought this expecting to have a completely different experience from the original, like other modern remakes such as FF7 and RE4.

    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.
