    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.

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are boring, the UI is clunky, the map is crap, constantly pressing R3 for the waypoint is tedious, the save system is outdated...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

    Russian is one of the most important languages ​​in the gaming industry, and you just decided to give it up. You have fallen even more in the eyes of the audience, greedy hypocrites

    There is no Russian language. I was really looking forward to the game. But because of this attitude, many players will not play the 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

    What an awesome game. I got the deluxe pack for the exra few usd. Certainly, the visuals are undeniably stunning. I won't dwell on graphics for too long since there's a video at the top of this page showcasing it, but it's worth mentioning how the game leverages modern lighting advancements to enhance the immersive setting.

I won't dwell on graphics for too long since there's a video at the top of this page showcasing it, but it's worth mentioning how the game leverages modern lighting advancements to enhance the immersive setting. The brushed metal of your suit and the ship's surfaces reflect light convincingly, while the darkness truly feels deep and foreboding. Navigating through the shadows with only your torchlight heightens the tension to an impressive degree. A noteworthy detail is how the lighting ingeniously affects combat situations, as the red emergency lights flash and strobe, illuminating the encroaching creatures. With each blink, they draw closer, intensifying the adrenaline-fueled experience.… 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.
