    Solid remake of a classic. From now on, this is the definitive version of Dead Space! I would highly suggest ignoring all these extremely negative reviews here. These are written by very sad and empty people, who's entire life revolves around calling everything woke. I'm pretty sure they don't even know what it means, they will just fit everything they dislike, under that word. Instead goSolid remake of a classic.

Instead go to Steam and read actual REAL reviews by people who actually bought the game and played it.

    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,I have thoroughly enjoyed this game so far. The combat system is very satisfying and is very nostalgic.

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 game is a modern masterpiece. It’s really well made and beautifully retold. There are a few moments that are from the OG game but everything else is completely redone.

    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.

    A new standard for remakes. Gorgeous visually, but every change and addition adds to the experience. The seamless experience is amazing, Isaac speaking improves the story, and everything special about the original remains intact.

    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.

    Fantastic remake. Some nice changes, and definitely reminded me of why I fell in love with the game. The price is a bit steep at $70, which I wasn’t expecting, but then again this is EA. Still, it’s a great remake. Love it on PS5.

It all feels so familiar and new at the same time in a perfect way. 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.

    Well Made remake, although had a battery not spawn, in the middle of the game had to stop playing, but was fixed in a couple days, some minor graphics problems might be based on computer specs. I don't like how ammo starts to become a problem later in the game, not much warning that you have to conserve a lot more at the start, very hard to recover from that point. took 2 points off forWell Made remake, although had a battery not spawn, in the middle of the game had to stop playing, but was fixed in a couple days, some minor graphics problems might be based on computer specs.

    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!

    Dead Space is the one game that I get an itch to play from time to time, along with RE4. Luckily, there are ways to play RE4 on current gen consules. Dead Space had eluded this, until now. This is truly the way to remaster a game. The controls are smoother and better. Graphics are amazing. I would have been fine playing the old version, but this is soooo much better in every way.Dead Space is the one game that I get an itch to play from time to time, along with RE4.

I found that making enemies a bit slower or giving us kind of dodge mecanic would have helped make the combat a bit smoother because whatever I would do, the enemies too often gave the first hit.

    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.

    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.
