    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 playsThis 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.… Expand

    Remake that's done absolutely right. Any changes made only improved the modern experience.

    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. .

    Huge Dead Space fan and this is alright. Looks amazing but plays exactly like it did 13 years ago. I was so excited for this and the hype was over rated big time. 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.Huge Dead Space fan and this is alright.

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!

    Game is good. Why is there no Russian language? Russian is spoken not only in Russia
    Modern agendas are unacceptable and terrible. When the developers realize that they need to make just good games, without all these minorities

    Pass, I picked up Callisto instead and I'm glad I did. Amazing game, challenging, great combat and amazing graphics and sound, oh and it was made by a new studio and original creators of this game. Pretty crappy that EA decided to put this out so close to the release of that game. Seems to me the negative reviews were planned out so this could succeed. Stop supporting greedy companies.Pass, I picked up Callisto instead and I'm glad I did.

    Even old Dead Space was one of best games. This one bring it on next level. It follow original very well, but change some things to make game even better. Even bosses are changed in good way. Developers used new features to make even better atmosphere (specially with sound). Hope there will be Dead Space remake too! This is how decent remake is made.

    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.

    piggy attitude on the part of EA. do not add at least Russian subtitles to the game , the original of which even has voice acting ! what is the problem? players are ready to buy your games , why do this with a Russian - speaking audience ?

    Lo malo: Las gráficas no me terminaron de convencer, el juego no se ve mal pero esperaba una mejor evolución tratándose de EA. El exceso de referencias WOKE ya cansan en las series y ahora también tenerlas que soportarlas en los juegos se vuelve fastidioso (No a todos nos gusta la Basura Progre). Sentí que el juego fue bastante más fácil que el original.

    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.    … Expand

    It still feels like Dead Space, plodding and stomping through the Ishimura while shooting limbs off anything that moves. It just looks more impressive doing so, which is great.

    I have always loved this series for many years, and I was impatiently waiting for the remake, and I was happy that the game will only on the last generation of consoles, and I thought that it would be a historical remake.. The ps5 version has a lot of problems, as I saw, and the graphics were frustrating during my experience, but the remake and The story and gameplay were great.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    It's actually adorable how triggered these little snowflakes get about the sign on a toilet door in a video game. Pathetic little red pill morons who think they're some kind of intellectual after watching Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro videos on YouTube. How do you sleep at night without your bottle of warm milk and rusks? The game itself is really well done.

I wish they'd have made some small tweaks to the movement though as sometimes I feels a tad clunky and dated.

    Still worth the buy if you're a fan, otherwise just wait for the reviews. There's not a huge amount of replay value.    … 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.
