    This is a faithful remake of Dead Space 1 with several changes that make it a better experience than the original: Combat has a better balance this go around, resulting in less weapons feeling like they are "storage fodder," and the additional side content brings a lot more to the story.

    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

    This is a very nice remake of a great game. The weapons and kinetic upgrade are fantastic and feel great to use. The enviroment of the game is scary and always keep you alert no matter where you are. The only negative i would give it is that a few times the game would glich and i couldnt get through a door or an area, causing me to reboot the game.

    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.

    This is Resident Evil 4 in space. The weapons and abilities are great. However, the game out-stays its welcome due to repetitive mechanics (please not another electricity-cog or zero-gravity puzzle) and missing quality-of-life (can't skip cut-scenes and few useful auto-saves).

    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.

    A lot of people argue on whether this game needed a remake or not due to how the original is still available nowadays but I guess the real reason they say that is because they don't EA to run the risk of killing this franchise again like they did with Dead Space 3 but I would kinda argue it does primarily for PS users since the PS5 isn't backwards compatible with PS3 games so this isA lot of people argue on whether this game needed a remake or not due to how the original is still available nowadays but I guess the real reason they say that is because they don't EA to run the risk of killing this franchise again like they did with Dead Space 3 but I would kinda argue it does primarily for PS users since the PS5 isn't backwards compatible with PS3 games so this is honestly the only chance PS users have to actually understand why the IP is so beloved. 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

    A NEW JOURNEY INTO THE DEAD SPACE

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    A NEW JOURNEY INTO THE DEAD SPACE

    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.

    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.

Dead Space on PS5 is a chilling masterpiece that not only revitalizesAs a long-time fan of the Dead Space franchise, I was both excited and apprehensive about the series' return on the PlayStation 5. The original games were renowned for their atmospheric horror, intense combat, and gripping narrative, and I'm pleased to say that the latest installment lives up to the high expectations. Dead Space on PS5 is a chilling masterpiece that not only revitalizes the beloved series but also sets a new standard for survival horror gaming.

    Visually, Dead Space on the PS5 is nothing short of stunning. The power of the console truly shines as every gruesome detail is meticulously rendered, from the grotesque necromorphs to the dimly lit corridors of the USG Ishimura. The lighting effects and realistic character models add an extra layer of immersion, amplifying the tension and fear as you explore the derelict spacecraft.

    The sound design in Dead Space has always been one of its strongest elements, and this remains true in the PS5 version. The unsettling ambient noises, haunting whispers, and bone-chilling screams create an eerie atmosphere that keeps you on edge throughout the entire game. The implementation of the Tempest 3D AudioTech further enhances the auditory experience, making it feel like every creak and growl is coming from all directions.

    Gameplay-wise, Dead Space on PS5 strikes the perfect balance between classic mechanics and modern improvements. The zero-gravity sections are particularly impressive, taking advantage of the console's capabilities to deliver a disorienting yet exhilarating experience. The iconic "strategic dismemberment" combat system returns, allowing you to strategically target and sever limbs to dispatch enemies efficiently. The DualSense controller's haptic feedback heightens the immersion, providing a tactile sense of each swing, shot, and gruesome encounter.

    The revamped user interface is sleek and intuitive, offering a seamless way to navigate through your inventory, check objectives, and manage resources. The adaptive triggers are put to good use, simulating the resistance of various weapons and adding a satisfying weight to each action.

    While the core gameplay remains faithful to the original, the developers have taken the opportunity to introduce new features and improvements. The expanded lore and narrative elements give players a deeper understanding of the Dead Space universe, with intriguing new characters and plot twists that will keep you engaged from start to finish.

    In terms of performance, Dead Space on the PS5 runs flawlessly. The game takes full advantage of the console's hardware capabilities, delivering smooth gameplay with quick loading times and minimal frame rate drops. The inclusion of ray tracing enhances the visuals even further, adding an extra layer of realism to the dark and atmospheric environments.

    However, it's worth mentioning that the game's difficulty can be quite challenging, even for experienced players. The unrelenting waves of necromorphs and limited resources will constantly test your survival skills, making every encounter a heart-pounding struggle for survival. While this may frustrate some players, it ultimately contributes to the game's sense of tension and desperation.

    In conclusion, Dead Space on the PS5 is a masterclass in survival horror gaming. With its breathtaking visuals, immersive sound design, refined gameplay mechanics, and captivating storytelling, it successfully resurrects the franchise, catering to both longtime fans and newcomers alike. Brace yourself for a nerve-wracking journey through the depths of terror and prepare to be captivated by one of the most compelling gaming experiences available on the PS5.    … Expand

You can now move freely in Zero gravity which lets you explore areas easier as well as being able to face enemies with more options.

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    Amazed to see so many raving reviews for what is fundamentally a sub-par game. I understand that this is a remake, but it is a AAA-game, released at full price, in 2023. So I will review it as such.

Are they    Amazed to see so many raving reviews for what is fundamentally a sub-par game. I understand that this is a remake, but it is a AAA-game, released at full price, in 2023. So I will review it as such.

    Everybody keeps saying the graphics are better than the original. Well whoopdy-do! What did you expect? The original Dead Space is 15 years, and 2 console generations, old. Are they objectively good graphics compared to what the standard should be today? No. They're acceptable at best. Everything is pitch black. I know this is how it's supposed to be. But I just don't like it. You don't even get ray-tracing on PS5 unless you're willing to suffer 30fps, which is unplayable.

    The game suffers from the fact that it's a remake, yes - but still a very old game. This shows in the level design. It's literally the same dark, narrow corridor that you're walking around forever. There is zero variety. There are only a small handful of enemy types. The weapons are boring, the UI is clunky, the map is crap, constantly pressing R3 for the waypoint is tedious, the save system is outdated... Games were previously made like this because the technology of the day restricted game design. And this shows its age like Joe Biden at a stag-do. Similarly, the idea of a clean HUD was novel for its day, but not so much now, and the idea of shooting limbs off isn't as enticing as it was 15 years ago. Also, you only get 4 weapon slots but can carry multiple weapons meaning you have to keep swapping out in the inventory. A weapon-wheel would have fixed this.

    Giving this game a 10 out of 10, as many critics have done, is them basically saying this is as good as God of War, Elden Ring, Witcher 3, Horizon Forbidden West, Zelda, Mario etc. Electronic Arts are trying to capitalise on the Resident Evil remake successes, but those are actually amazing games even today, with interesting puzzles and fantastic stories. This has none of the charm of the RE series.

    Overall, I give this a 3 out of 10, but then it loses 3 marks for the woke, 'half man/half woman' sign outside the toilets which was not in the original, so why is it there now? The game is set in the future and you'd think that by then, we'd know that women don't want to go to the toilet and see a man waving his p*nis around in zero gravity. Stop pandering to the 0.24% of psychopaths that think they can identify as a tree, and that the rest of the world should then water them and make sure they get sunlight.

    Avoid at all costs. This will be free on PS Plus within 12 months, and even then, it won't be worth your time.    … Expand

    Motive has taken a perfect game and somehow made it better. The improvements to the gameplay, graphics, and added story content are all fantastic and do not betray the original game in any way. This is the best way to play one of the best games and I can't wait for Motive to show us what else they can do with the Dead Space franchise.

    The original Dead Space from 2008 has been a personal favorite of mine for many years. The setting, pacing, and structure felt very fresh and well planned especially for those times.

The setting, pacing, and structure felt very fresh and well planned especially for those times. 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

    10/10 I think so, It will be GOTY this year. Because a solid remake + original differences between storyline, details, everything number ten

    Dead Space Remake is a good game but ammo is in such short supply for the first gun that it renders the game unplayable if you want to use only that gun. One the gun is not powerful enough to beat the Leviathan. Also when it comes to beating the Leviathan there is never enough ammo in the game found or purchased.

The Leviathan and stingy ammo drops replace the ADS cannons as game breaking bugs in an otherwise awesome game. The game is unbalanced as hell if you want to get the use only the first gun trophy.. To think I wasted money on steam and brought a PS5 just to play this broken dumpster firegame. Ammo should be plentiful on easy mode and it is NOT! This is garbage.… Expand

    I complained about stuff for the first half hour, then shut my mouth and was completly into it. Yeah enemies and npc still have a vanilla look, punching a glass fuse just beside a locked door to open it or no animation when you use a healing item feels like old generation. Some bugs when you open up inventory screen and the music is a little too much, so much that you don't hear the enemyI complained about stuff for the first half hour, then shut my mouth and was completly into it.

Some bugs when you open up inventory screen and the music is a little too much, so much that you don't hear the enemy spawning behind you when you kill the one infront of you... Kinda annoying. 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

    Great experience, especially for someone who did not play the original game.

    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.

    Very impressive remake. Honored the original and improved upon it in almost every way. Hopefully repeat and improve for the sequel.

    This stunning remake renews a brilliant horror adventure and manages to feel like one of the freshest games we've played in ages.

    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.

    The game has been immensely enjoyable and is a must-recommend, providing us with hours of gruesome, deadly fun in the void of space.
