    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.

    Eines der besten Remakes überhaupt. Sowohl für Neueinsteiger und alte Hasen. Man kann nur hoffen das Dead Space 2 dieselbe Liebe und Aufwand zuteil wird. Und dann ein frischer besserer Dritter Teil.
    Leider sind hier viele Trolle die mit fadenscheinigen Argumenten 0/10 geben. Wtf. Hatte mir das schon gedacht. Callisto Fanboys die Rache nehmen wollen weil keiner ihr schlechtes Spiel mag. Lol.

    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.

    Good work Motive!    … Expand

    I have never used Metacritic, but reading these pathetic negative reviews made me make an account, just to confirm that this is indeed a good remake. I'm huge fan since 2008, those people who hate the remake, don't sound like fans at all. Pretty sure they just look for stuff to complain about.

    Easily top 5 remake of all time. I would say this is on same level with RE1 and RE2 remakes.

    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!

    Amazing fun that will you literally scare the s**t right out of your pants. You feel so bad for the protagonist under constant stress and horror. You'll want to play it over and over. I'm a big fan of the original series and this remake has given me a new reason to dip back into the ninightmare. .

    - Technical revamp of the thunder for a masterful atmosphere
    - changes and variations in the course of the adventure, love it.
    - Well done random events in a ship to roam freely
    - Confrontations still as jubilant and brutal

    Amazing remake.

    Amazing Remake!!! I would highly suggest ignoring those low IQ idiots who review bomb this game and whine about everything. They should seriously seek help. Original game was good, but this remake is actually better. I'm seriously surprised.

    Amazing game and experience. all the negative reviews about languages are literally obnoxious.

    Even as a non horror fan myself I really found joy in how great the game immerses you and how amazing it is to experience the story and lore bit by bit.

    EA Motive please remake the entire trilogy, I'd love to see it through a new and even better lens.

    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! 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    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

    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.

    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.

    1 of the best remakes I've ever played. The graphics are very good. The gameplay is better than the original. The story is a little bit changed, in some parts for the better, in some for the worst, but that depends on what you like.

    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.

    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.

    Also thing to note is there is no auto aim so when you target enemy's weak points in chaos you have to be completely calm otherwise it's easy to get killed. Adaptive    Great game.

    Also thing to note is there is no auto aim so when you target enemy's weak points in chaos you have to be completely calm otherwise it's easy to get killed. 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.
    In my opinion, the best horror game I've played, a level above Resident Evil 4 remake. So it's a pure 10 for me.    … Expand

    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.
