Dead Space

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Dead Space" (2023), a complete remake of the same titled legendary game from 2008, is simply put, a masterpiece. I beat this beast of a game on my PS5 once, and now i'm on my second new game plus run, but i'm 100% sure i will beat it more then twice. Its just a proof of how incredible this new game is. I loved the one back in 2008, and this new game is as good as it was back in 2008 only made for modern new gen era of video games. There are improvements made in story and some gameplay mechanics as well. But the graphics, music, acting, lighting, gore and everything else of a top notch. It is scary as hell, and atmosphere is like no other here. The sound design and effects are one of the very best - i playing with my pulls audio headphones and its just incredible to say the least.

Overall, not a single flaw i saw in "Dead Space" (2023). Its as best as survivor horror games goes - a simple survivor story in this incredible (and scary) world, Dead Space is a masterpiece in every possible way. On of the very best games i played in years and possible best survivor horror game you can find it right now.

Highly recommended.

Motive has taken on the momentous task of bringing a classic back to life and they utterly nail it, crafting a faithful game that tweaks just enough to unsettle returning and new players alike. The atmosphere is thick, the sound and creature designs are on point, and its graphical update sets the bloody and visceral standard for survival horror in 2023.

EA made a massive mistake ending this series, one of many massive mistakes it made after getting the single-player formula right so many times, but, hopefully, Dead Space: Remake shows them the passion and creativity that gamers lust for, and, hopefully, Dead Space has returned from the dead space EA left it in.

Dead Space is survival horror at its peak. While I tend to think of Resident Evil as more action-oriented with horror elements, Dead Space genuinely creeps up on you and keeps you on edge throughout the entire experience.

As someone who didn't play the original 2006 version very much, but enjoyed Dead Space 2 and 3, diving into this remake felt like a fresh start. I was excited to discover the origins of a franchise that many have praised over the years.

The original Dead Space was a bold move at the time, introducing a new universe with rich lore. I'm glad it's back, and I was eager to see how this remake would bring that vision to life. And honestly? It does not disappoint.

The tension is real; I often found myself jumping at shadows, never quite sure when a necromorph would lunge at me from a vent or jump down from the ceiling. This constant anxiety was intense, and for the first few hours, it left me feeling a bit stressed. However, I eventually got used to it, part of the experience of navigating a horror game.

The necromorphs themselves are unique and grotesque, resembling a chilling mix of the creatures from "The Thing" and "Alien." The game's design choice to focus on dismemberment adds extra tension, turning combat into a strategic challenge, especially with the original and challenging boss fights you encounter.

One standout feature is the weaponry. Instead of traditional firearms, you use repurposed engineering tools, which adds a creative twist to the gameplay. It's a refreshing take that sets Dead Space apart from other horror games.

The setting of the space station feels like a mix of "Event Horizon" and "Blade Runner," with stunning visuals that enhance the eerie atmosphere. While I appreciate the level of detail, sometimes the factory-like environment can be a bit overwhelming. Still, the sheer number of movable objects throughout the game adds a nice touch and helps with immersion.

Character design and voice acting are also top-notch. It was great to hear the same actor return from Dead Space 2 and 3, and that small change of him taking his helmet off when speaking made the character feel more relatable this time around.

Unfortunately, it seems like expectations fell short for this remake, so a sequel may not be in the cards. That's a shame because this game really gets so much right.

Overall, I'd give the Dead Space remake a solid 9/10. It hits nearly every mark as a survival horror title. My only complaints are the occasional feelings of exhaustion due to the constant tension and how the drab scenery could be a bit much at times. But in the end, if you're a fan of the genre, this game is definitely worth your time.

Exceedingly faithful to the original with a demonstrated understanding of the work, but not afraid to take chances with the story and mechanics in a way that flesh out and support the narrative. Everything from the original is here in terms of story, mechanics, and visuals but they've all been enhanced or lightly expanded to cover questions, gaps, or bring in-line features introduced later in the series. This isn't just a fan service pop-out or self-insert re-write, this is dead space done better with tools that weren't available and light narrative hindsight. The only detections I have are exceedingly minor and, ultimately, inconsequential in the face of this project's excellence.

I knew that dead space was a huge game in the past but due to the failure of dead space 3, the franchise died and got forgotten, but with this remake not only did it improve, but take dead space from amazing to a masterpiece game.

Before playing this game i wasn't into horror survival games but after playing this game I can pretty much say the horror survival video games got my attention.

This game is a must to play for the new audience that didn't play dead space back in the day because it's truely a amazing experience, it's also a must have for the old players because it offers new things but also being like the original, it's a game that when you play It you cant get off of it.

I hope they remake the other games aswell because the dead space franchise came back to life and showed every one that it can still rise to the top If you haven't played this game yet, what are you doing?buy it and enjoy it, its worth every single pennny.
