    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]

    Motive Studios delivers a remake that isn't just a faithful adaption of Dead Space for the modern age, but a love letter to the entire franchise. New narrative tweaks, the addition of a talking protagonist, and open exploration across the ship add up to a stellar horror experience.

    Although I don’t really need to say this, I will in order to bring things to a close: If you’re a fan of survival horror games, you really cannot go wrong with Dead Space (2023). Whether you’re a new fan or a returning veteran, this is a fantastic remake that brings one of the genre’s best games to modern devices. It looks, sounds and plays fantastically well, and is simply the return of a masterpiece.

    One of the best survival horror games gets one of the best remakes we've seen so far, that is what you need to know about the new version of Dead Space. If you're a fan of the original game or just of the genre, it's a need to play.

    Dead Space Remake is a faithful, loving and gentle update of everything that made the original game iconic, and if you liked Visceral's game, then you can safely reinvest.

    The Dead Space remake successfully revives a beloved survival horror franchise with gloriously gory aplomb. Nothing that made the original so good has been compromised, even with all the new additions. Bring on Dead Space 2!

    Its impact may be lessened these days – something that’s unavoidable given that the source material is a decade and a half old – but from its engaging intro crash sequence to its controversial (and slightly tweaked) ending, it’s still a thrilling journey through madness.

    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 (thatNot 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. If you loved the original game you’ll love this as well, the story is totally different while being exactly the same. Everything’s been switched about to fit in with the two sequels without losing what made the original such an amazing game. Totally worth the price, go out and grab it.… Expand

But on the other hand,I've played a compareable came that came outGotta say I havent played the original, therefore this is new to me. But on the other hand,I've played a compareable came that came out sometime earlier. And I think I know now why Dead Space im considered the best in the genre. Everything is just perfect to me. Atmosphere, Level designs, Enemy differences and combinations. The slighty increasing rate in hardness and scaryness. I'm not completely through it, but I'm thrilling to play the game on and I'm honestly hoping for a remake of the second and third one. Would instantly buy.… 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 tonEasily 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. 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

    1080p resolution is a sad joke. Very weak textures. Price too high for such poor quality.
