I corridoi claustrofobici della Ishimura trasmettono tutto l’orrore che il protagonista si trova costretto a vivere nel corso dell’avventura. La storia è molto coinvolgente e ben narrata, i file audio che troverete nel gioco approfondiranno un bel po’ alcuni aspetti della lore e saranno molto interessanti da ascoltare, il tutto culmina in un bel finale con vari colpi di scena. La commistione tra sci-fi e horror è uno degli aspetti più riusciti del prodotto, i necromorfi sono i nemici più azzeccati che abbia mai visto in vita mia se contestualizzati a questo tipo di atmosfera e la meccanica dello smembramento risulta ancora oggi fresca e mai noiosa, per smbrare occorreranno delle armi smembranti per l’appunto, e via di lame al plasma, seghe telescopiche e chi più ne ha più ne metta. La pesantezza nei movimenti di Isaac e l’interfaccia integrata nell’iconica tuta di Isaac senza orpelli visivi a schermo poi rende il tutto molto immersivo, credibile e vi farà sentire costantemente esposti al pericolo. L’esperienza audio è letteralmente meravigliosa (giocatelo in cuffia!), lamenti, urla, sussurri, canzoncine macabre, rumori di macchinari, sbuffi e quant’altro costituiscono il fiore all’occhiello del prodotto e vi faranno saltare spesso dalla sedia, graficamente invece mi aspettavo qualcosina in più, nonostante sia oggettivamente un bel vedere. Difetti tutto sommato non riesco a trovarne troppi a parte una certa linearità e ripetitività di fondo che però non si farà sentire troppo dato che tranciare arti risulta divertente fino alla fine e la trama è sempre coinvolgente. In definitiva avrei mantenuto il prezzo un po’ più basso considerata la natura di remake del titolo, le aggiunte ci sono, sono gradevoli e faranno il piacere dei fan di lungo corso, ma non sono neanche troppo incisive, ma forse meglio così, appare chiaro come gli sviluppatori non abbiamo voluto alterare in alcun modo l’opera originale, ma bensì arricchirla e svecchiarla senza mai strafare. Lo consiglio a chi l’ha già giocato in origine e soprattutto a chi non vi si è mai approcciato, in quanto godrete direttamente della versione definitiva. Fateci un salto! Difficilmente scorderete la USG Ishimura.… Expand

    Sin embargo el juego está muy lejos de ser perfecto. Me encontré con un bug en el capítulo 10 y stuttering en momentos muy puntuales que son mínimos, pero están ahí. La mayoría de lo que agrega y lo que retocan lo hicieron muy bien (lore expandido y gameplay más fluido pero a la vez reminiscente del original por mencionar algunos elementos), pero existen sus excepciones que lo alejan de ese 10.

    El remake cuenta con una serie de detalles, los cuales no restan a la experiencia en general, pero de haberse resuelto antes de su lanzamiento hubieramos tenido un juego aún más redondo y además de que son lo suficientemente notorios para pasarlos por alto. En este caso solo mencionaré el que me parece más importante y con el que más tengo problemas:

    - Animaciones de movimiento de Isaac poco naturales.
    Al rehacerse las animaciones siento que hubieron aspectos que se pasaron por alto, resultando en
    un movimiento "raro" del protagonista por llamarlo de alguna forma. En ocasiones cuando giras
    sobre tu propio eje o te mueves en diagonal/lateralemnete los pies de Isaac no se mueven por un
    momento, lo que resulta en un deslizamiento sobre el suelo, lo cual, hace sentir al jugador que el
    juego no está completamente pulido, por lo menos en este aspecto. Aunado a lo anterior, Isaac ni
    siquiera tiene una animación para cuando tiene baja salud, cosa que si existía en el original.
    Entiendo que implementaron el sistema A.L.I.V.E. que hace el juego mas inmersivo, pero mi
    duda es, si ya implementaste ese sistema, ¿Por qué dejar de lado la animación que denota que
    Isaac está herido?. Me parece una oportunidad desperdiciada, ya que, pudieron implementar dicha
    animación y además hacer que Isaac corriera mas lento al estar en este estado, transmitiendo una
    mayor tensión al jugador.    … Expand

    I can't say enough great things about this game. Here are some of my favorites:

    1) Atmosphere is intense and scary. I definitely pooped myself a few times. Always on the edge of my seat. 2) Story is great! Love both the direct and indirect way of story telling - audiologs and text logs were enjoyable to read to get a better understanding of WTF is going on. 3) On harder settings,    I can't say enough great things about this game.

    3) On harder settings, this game is difficult and you have to be strategic about your ammo usage, credit spending and upgrades.

    Only a few minor cons. Weapon variety is GOOD but could be better. Enemy variety is GOOD but could be better. I would also loved to have seen visual, aesthetic upgrades to the space suit. It would have added a nice element to feeling like an alien slaying badass.    … 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.

    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.

    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.

    I really did not like Dead Space when I played it on the PS3. Something about the dismemberment mechanic seemed gimmicky to me, and I did not enjoy it. Fast-forward to the remake, and I gave it another shot. For some reason, it hit this time. Maybe it was using mouse/keyboard on PC, or any of the QOL improvements the new version got.

I also wish it featured something new like an enemy type or weapon at least. As it stands though, Dead Space remake is still a fun time and one of the better horror remakes to date. Isaac speaks now, power node upgrades no longer feel wasted, and the USG Ishimura got a major overhaul, complete with in-depth side missions and open-ended exploration and backtracking, and even a new alternative ending to come across in NG+. I was afraid that because the original Dead Space has actually aged well, this would just feel disappointing and unnecessary, but it takes that same award-winning formula and enhances them, from the visuals and the sound design to changes to the overall map of the ship. I'd bump it up to a 9 after said bug fixes.… Expand

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.

    Great game and faithfully remade. Definitely missed opportunity to change some aspects of the game to make this a more original entry but the finished product is more than enough. No performance issues apart from a few stutters here and there but no glitches or bugs or a massive day one patch which is such a rareity. Don't think it justifies the high price tag though.

    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.
