    One of the best games in it's genre is now even better. If you are new to the series or haven't played in 15 years like me. This is a must play.

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

    This is one of the best remakes I’ve played in Awhile, I’ve been a fan of the survival horror genre for years, silent hill, resident evil, dead space, fatal frame, etc. so when I heard about this game getting a remake I was a bit skeptical as other games like resident evil 3 remake were very mediocre and unfaithful, but this game proved me wrong.

First of all this game looks and plays beautifully if you’ve played dead space 2 it’s a lot like that game. it’s not clunky like the original and it’s stunning graphically compared to the original which looked pretty bad in some parts. As for the story, it isn’t changed much but the changes they've done are great. The game now has side quests which expand more on the games lore which is such a great idea, it wasn’t needed but it definitely is welcomed as I was enthralled and very interested by the expanded lore we got with these new sidequests explaining other characters motives and etc. overall this game is a fantastic horror game and I feel the criticism it is getting is ridiculous gender neutral bathrooms, characters face changes, etc if you’re looking for a well polished replayable horror game, that will keep you invested in it’s twisted story while also being fun to play. Pick up dead space remake. Motive has done a great job with this game and I hope they handle the series from now on as they truly have passion for this franchise and have done a great job touching up on the game’s flaws and fixing them but not changing everything to where it’s unrecognizable.

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. 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

    The definitive Dead Space experience. Whether or not you played the original 2008 Dead Space, you’re sure to have a good time with this game. So glad to see this now-classic being brought back to life with welcome new additions such as side missions and more dynamic action sequences. Highly recommend!

    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.

    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.

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

    Some of us did not wonder if Dead Space would be forgotten and we would not be lucky to see it again with a decent conclusion despite Dead Space 3, which strayed far from the main premise and everything went to waste.

Now we do not have that long-awaited conclusion, instead we have a "REMAKE" that is undoubtedly an extraordinary renewal as we saw with Capcom's Resident 2; I personally didn't think that the original title could be improved, and to the surprise of all players this time MOTIVE studio managed to improve something that we thought was almost perfect from the beginning. The additions not only range from the obvious graphic improvement, to this we must add an increase in information and context in the lore of events and the history of the main and secondary characters, even our protagonist will not be a mute character as in the original, Now he has a voice that allows him to interact with the other characters, adding a lot of information about Isaac's character, we can even see Isaac's face from the beginning and we will notice a change in his face and a resemblance to actor Adam Sandler (FOR THIS ONE REASON I DON'T GIVE IT A HIGHER RATING). During the journey in the story we will be given secondary objectives that we can complete as we unlock access to the different sections of the Ishimura. The weapons are the same as in the original title but there was certainly some major balancing and changes to the secondary shots making them more useful (as in the case of the pulse cannon which is now quite useful). The trophies are mostly the same as the ones we saw on PS3. In a matter of enemies, the necromorphs are more aggressive and resistant, the mechanics of dismembering them is now much more "realistic" since while we do damage to them we can see if we pay attention to how the meat is cut until leaving the bones uncovered for the final "cut". The lighting, textures and the redesign of some parts of the Ishimura greatly improved the immersion resulting in a terrifying game and you should not miss it. In my opinion, this is a light of hope for fans of the saga that invites us to dream that future installments (if there are any) will be improved by removing everything that the players did not like and we can see a conclusion to the story epic way. Let's just pray that EA doesn't implement the microtransactions and co-op that didn't work and screwed up. Expand

    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. It´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.

    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.

    Excellent game. I never played the original so am new to the franchise. Amazing atmosphere, story and gameplay. Misses out on being a 10 because of too much emphasis on jump scares ie. enemies appearing behind you out of literally nowhere which just becomes tedious after the third times it happens, as well as poor resolution on PS5

A remake is a game developed from scratch, which is why the full price is justified. So don't pay attention to the negative reviews guys. Expand

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.

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.

    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.

    Some minor UI glitches.

    Thoughts-
    It’s a game that will keep you constantly on edge, constantly jumping, constantly afraid of what lies around the corner. With its nightmarish Necromorphs and the decaying environments of the Ishimura, Dead Space creates an incredibly foreboding atmosphere, while with other smaller touches, it infects your mind with uncomfortable uncertainty that stays with you even after you’ve put down the controller- hallucination events, randomly triggered jumpscares, creepy whispers in the background, Isaac’s painfully audible heartbeat dynamically reacting to everything that happens in gameplay. The net result is almost beyond description, and captures the essence of the horror genre better than almost any other game has ever managed to do. While some negligibly minor blemishes, such as some small-scale UI glitches, do exist in the game, taken as a whole, it represents a work of creative perfection, one that thoroughly and comprehensively achieves everything it sets out to do, and raises the bar significantly higher for everything else to follow in the process.

You slowly edge down the hall,As you clunk down a familiar hallway, that you had already trekked before, you notice something is different. It’s not as well lit before. Heavy, dense fog has filled the halls. The lights are flickering, betraying your already clouded vision. All you have for a light source is your flashlight on your Plasma Cutter, which is also being obscured by the fog. You slowly edge down the hall, tense and on edge, waiting for something to pop out. Your RIG (health) is flashing red. One hit will kill you.

    BANG. A nearby vent breaks violently, screams emerging from down the hall. Frantically, you look and wait for an inevitable creature to reveal itself. As a shadow travels towards you with a blood thirsty drive, you fire your shots in a panic towards the figure. It breaks into a dead sprint, screaming pain and rage as it barrels. Finally you can see it: it bears human resemblance, but it is of horrific composition. Its mangled face has been peeled by your cutter, revealing what used to be a humans skull. Its arms have also been hit by your cutter and thin bone is shown from its arm. Now these arms are weapons, sharp, sword like bone protrude from its arms. In one feel swoop, it cuts your head off despite your heavy duty armor. Hooked yet? This game is perfect for you. Dead Space, at its core, is a haunted house built on the principle of giving you just enough to keep you alive. Dead Space Remake, at its core, is a haunted house built on the principles of giving you just enough to keep you alive, but instead of it being a haunted house, it’s a living, breathing nightmare. If you thought to yourself that Dead Space didn’t need a remake, you would have been right up until this game was released. Dead Space Remake hits the mark nearly perfectly, improving several flaws while adding to the formula.

    Graphics:

    First things first, visually the game is stunning. The colors are vibrant but keeps its industrial/sickly look. Attention to detail has improved drastically, whether it’s the laser coming from your weapon or the drag tenacles (once you kill one, look to where it grabs you. It shocked me.)

    On performance, there is not too much detail taken away. The game plays butter smooth, hardly any stuttering. On Graphics, frame rate is sacrificed, but it feels exactly like old Dead Space. The lighting is gorgeous. The volumetric fog works perfectly in limiting vision. The way blood sticks to Issac now after stomping on a corpse is shockingly real. Everything about the visual aspect of this game is fantastic.

    I will include this apart of graphics, but the animations is a main gripe I have. They are extremely stiff and unnatural looking. Zero G is extremely noticeable, Issac is not as smooth floating through the air. It’s easy to ignore, but I wish it would have been more buttery. Dead Space 2 is twice as superior when it comes to animations.

    Story:

    The story has not changed much, but noticeable shifts in how the story plays out makes much more sense. I won’t go in to detail to avoid spoilers, but I’ll say that certain characters you never encounter are now alive to help you tackle certain areas. It helps that this improves the already great story.

    Voice Acting:

    The voice acting is a double edged sword. Issac now gets a voice apposed to not, and it’s implemented perfectly. It’s gritty, raw, but logical. Jacob Temple is a returning voice actor, he was fantastic as well. Most voice actors have been replaced that have lost some performance, like Nicole and Kendra (although Kendra’s acting seems to improve towards the end. I actually started to really enjoy her). In other words, we gained some, lost some, but in the end I think it was a slight improvement overall.

    Combat and Exploration.

    Combat has not altered much either, but there are some major QOL changes that have been implemented. Kinesis has improved, as well as movement (which is faster. It feels much better compared to DS1). Weapons have also been balanced much better. The flamethrower and ripper are my personal favorites. Squirt some flames on an enemy, then rip them apart with a levitating saw blade.


    Exploration, on the other hand, is brand new. You can now back track to areas that had locked supply closets before. These are opened with security clearance instead of power nodes, allowing no risk of you using them all. You think you cleared the medical deck? Think again. Areas will still have monsters that might or might not spawn. You never know. The Intensity Director will drastically changes certain areas, complete shutting off lights, introducing volumetric fog, rupturing certain vent covers, or even adding the sounds of screams. It will ALWAYS keep you on edge because you never know when an alien Zombie will rip your face off.

    Summary:

    Dead Space Remake is a near perfect love letter to Dead Space. It’s scare factor is cranked up, and the game is a blast from the past waiting to be beat the hell out of.

    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.
