    It nails the most important aspect - the game still *feels* like Dead Space. Isaac still moves like he always did, and shooting limbs off is as satisfying as ever; it's all just done with more modern visuals and touches.

    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.

    The Dead space remake shares the same skeleton as its original however beyond the graphical update every inch of the experience has been completely transformed if you have already played the original Dead space I would still recommend this game, to me personally the updated story beats though remaining consistent with the original I find to be far more engaging and with the inclusion ofThe Dead space remake shares the same skeleton as its original however beyond the graphical update every inch of the experience has been completely transformed if you have already played the original Dead space I would still recommend this game, to me personally the updated story beats though remaining consistent with the original I find to be far more engaging and with the inclusion of multiple mechanics from Dead space 2 on top of the new Gore and director system make this a horror experience not worth missing… Expand

    Easily one of the best remakes I've seen in awhile, this game just goes to show how truly excellent the original game was as there's not a ton of things different here from the original. Giving Isaac Clarke a voice really made him standout much more then in the original and bringing back his voice actor from Dead Space 2 and 3 from back in the day was a nice touch.

Giving Isaac Clarke a voice really made him standout much more then in the original and bringing back his voice actor from Dead Space 2 and 3 from back in the day was a nice touch. All the story beats are the same as last time but there's a lot of added context for multiple side characters that wasn't in the original game. I also really liked how they added an alternate ending to the second playthrough that gives people a better idea of what happens between the 1st and 2nd games originally. This really is one of the better remakes I've played. I only hope that EA does the franchise justice in how it goes forward with it.… Expand

    Fini sur Series X en 21h (à 100% en faisant toutes les quêtes annexes, chercher tous les coffres et la fin alternative).
    Dead Space Remake est l'exemple de ce qu'il faudrait faire ne matière de remake:

Mon seul reproche est qu'ils pourraient faire mieux en matière d'éclairage sur les ampoules au plafond ou surtout la lampe torche. Ca fait encore trop vieillot. Du vrai RT sur ces éclairages ça serait parfait, mais les consoles ne sont certainement pas encore totalement maîtrisé ou puissante pour le faire.
    La bande sonore est magnifique avec un boulot monstre dessus (battement du coeur, bruits venant de partout, environnement 3D).

    - le gameplay: un jeu remanié avec des quêtes annexes, un scénario étoffé, un new games + avec une fin alternative à débloquer, de nouvelles zones, des nouvelles mécaniques implantées avec intelligence, et un jeu qui m'a semblé plus dificile que l'original (les monstres me paraissent plus nerveux).

    Pour avoir fait aussi the Last of Us Remake, Dead Space Remake va beaucoup plus loin qu'un simple restylage graphique. Bravo aux développeurs. J'avais adoré l'épisode original, et je ne regrette pas du tout d'avoir acheté ce remake. Vivement le 2.    … Expand

    진짜 리메이크 개 잘했음.
    이미 스토리랑 다 알고 있기 때문에 스토리에 대한 신선함이 없다는것을 배제 하더라도, 잘만듦.
    리메이크의 정석인 바하2급은 아니지만, 거의 그에 준할만큼의 리메이크 한듯. 특히 사운드도 더 공포스럽게 된것이 마음에들고, 2의 장점을 적용한것도 매우 맘네 듦. 매우 만족. 공포게임에 대한 거부감이 없다면 꼭 해보는걸 추천.    진짜 리메이크 개 잘했음.

    Love every moment of the game. EA really knock this out the park telling the whole gaming industry on how to do a proper remake. My only con about the game is a $70 price tag. $70 games should be subscribe to games that have at least a 20 and up hour long campaign or free DLC

All the quality of life gameplay mechanics and updates, like Isaac's voice, are so welcome and don't distract from the story. In fact they enhance the game so much. For people who like their games on the scary side and/or love sci-fi I can not recommend this game enough. There's always Peng!… Expand

    Not sure I’d say it’s a 10, it’s either a 9 or a 10, but since a bunch of man babies want to dump zeroes on because of “wOkE” nonsense (that doesn’t exist by the way) I figure it’s worth evening out the score by rating it as high as possible.

    Dead Space is a beautiful example of what a remake of a game should be. Something classic, something new, but most importantly, a modern doorway into a classic that will be enjoyed by both veterans and new swathes of potential fans. [Issue#325]

    Dead Space is a remake done right. It builds on what the original game did well, delivering in terms of tension and environment, adding new layers as it goes. Should you be a fan of what the franchise did in the past, or are just looking to have your spine tingled, I would suggest you give Dead Space a go. And use headphones, yeah?

    Remakes are a much harder thing to pull off than remasters. The original game exists and changing things can be a scary proposition to fans. Motive Studio has done an outstanding job of tweaking what worked and fixing what didn’t. This remake is on the same level as Capcom’s efforts with Resident Evil and will be considered one of the best going forward. This is a gold standard and I truly hope we get to see them continue this work with a new game in the series, or even a remake of the second game. I love this world and hope it is truly back and here to stay.
