Dead Space

I recently wrote a review on the Callisto Protocol and really praised the game for its simplicity. It was honestly just more of the same as we got back in the original Dead Space with a few more layers on combat so I think its a fair thing comparing both games.

Lets start by the dissonance between the two. I played both games on Medium difficulty and the differences between the two are really there. I simply cannot count the amount of deaths I got playing The Callisto Protocol, the reasons being resource management, "hand to hand" combat and overall slow pace of the game. Things I didn't get playing Dead Space (maybe I should play in a higher difficulty) I died a total of 3 times playing the game and NONE of them were from enemies, just the environment. The health system in Dead Space is really simple and doesn't put you in the edge as your heath is getting lower. Something that was criticized a lot in The Callisto Protocol, but for me, especially after the patch were it was a faster to heal, adds up another layer of "tenseness" in combat.

Now whats both games got wrong is the bosses for me, just bland to be honest. The real boss of the games is when you are crowded by enemies. But in Dead Space you just had an abundant amount of "bullets" to be spent in those moments, in Callisto you had more of a challenge controlling the swarming enemies.

Now in terms of performance, for me DS played better, more fluid, and faster without taking the heavy movements from the character. As well in frame rates, I can't recall a time were it dropped frames, but in CP it dropped a lot of times.

Both tell similar "tales" as well, nothing to be astonished by but interesting little stories.

So after this comparison I'm gonna impose a question was Callisto Protocol as bad as people say or we are just short of opinions and take the ones from other people?

Overall Dead Space was a fun, engaging and simple experience (and don't get me wrong simple is good).

I'm a HUGE fan of horror games, so when I heard about the Dead Space remake coming out, I was ready to get my hands on it. I patiently waited and managed to get a PS5, with God of War Ragnarök being my first game to beat. When Dead Space finally released a few days ago, I bought it right away and waited for the install.

This game is scary, people, and the combat can be challenging at times, depending on what difficulty you're playing on. I'm at normal right now and enemies still do a good number on you early on in the game. Your weapons don't do a ton of damage to start off with because you have to find upgrade nodes throughout the ship. Speaking of the ship, the entire setting of the game is beautiful. Lights flicker, steam hisses, and all the rooms are so detailed that you can use almost anything in a room as a weapon as soon as you have the ability.

The enemies are terrifying and unique. There will be points where you'll face two of the same enemies, but their behavior can be different. One will be slow and loud while the other is fast and quiet. It's very terrifying.

I put around 120 hours into the Resident Evil 2 remake and loved how much had been added to the game. Likewise, Dead Space is a remake of a classic game, but introduces new content that appeals to both newcomers and veteran fans of the series.

I give this a 10/10 and will probably be spending most of my time on this until Hogwarts Legacy. Whenever me timbers need a good shiver, I'll most likely return to this game for another round aboard the Ishimura.

The original Dead Space 2008 game was an instant horror classic. The story, the characters, the gameplay, the setting and the script all contributed to one of the best and most memorable horror games ever made. The remake not only recaptured all of this, but also developed on it to make an even better experience.

The remake included segments that improved the horror value and then changed certain segments that were deemed the original games faults and so improved the gameplay and pacing. The loading screens being removed helped with this as we never get a chance to relax, allowing the horror atmosphere to intensify for the viewer or gamer.

I was really impressed with this remake which was a shock as I was concerned that this would have been a worser version of the original game. In fact, it was better! The added side missions and cinematics also helped create even more curiosity towards the main plot, which for me, made the overall story far more satisfying.

This game was a clear example that even the best games can be improved. It was nice to see an old classic be revived and brought back to life! I hope Dead Space 2 gets a remake too!

I decided to give this game another shot, and while it isn't as good as the remake of Resident Evil 2 and 3 I do have to say that on its own it's actually a great game, I can deal with the small changes made, such as upping the graphics and giving Isaac a speaking role which he didn't have in the original, the aiming mechanic is weird but not a deal breaker, if EA does decide to remake 2 and 3 which I hope they do this is a game they can look back on and improve on what's already made it great, again I think it's a great game, it's better to not compare it to other games that have received the remake treatment which it seems to be happening a lot more often, it's definitely better than The Callisto Protocol, which tried to be like this but failed in many of those aspects.

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.
