Dead Space (2023) Reviews
Dead Space (2023) reminded me all over again why I fell in love with this franchise, why I love Sci-Fi Space Horror so much as a genre, and how truly incredible a well-done Survival/Horror game can be.
Dead Space is a must-play for fans of the original and for anyone who loves a good horror game. The game is faithful to its source material while introducing gameplay improvements and enhancements. With its improved presentation and gameplay, Dead Space stands tall among its next-gen console peers. The game’s graphic flaying system, updated presentation, and amped-up haptic feedback make for a truly frightening experience.
Back in 2008 and survival horror fans were treated to a new kid on the block. With Capcom still reigning supreme with Resident Evil 4, EA decided to challenge the genre dominance with something different – Dead Space. Taking place within the confines of a spaceship, Dead Space reimagined the genre away from planet Earth and into the far reaches of Space.
Dead Space is a fantastic remake. Not only respects what made the original so beloved, but also improves the game in different ways taking into account the improvements from its sequels and mechanics we see in 2023. This is the best version whether you're revisiting the game or playing it for the first time.

Fans are going to find a lot to love with Motive's careful and almost masterful handling of the original, while newcomers will find an exciting horror ride that awaits. It may not be as game-changing as the Resident Evil 2 remake, but I can honestly say that it feels good to have Dead Space back.
Dead Space remake pays full tribute to the original game and adds exciting new features and improvements, making it a brilliant and terrifying survival horror experience. EA Motive clearly saw what Capcom was doing with their Resident Evil remakes and managed to hit a quality bar on par with those efforts.
The Dead Space remake is a near-perfect game - brimming with terror, laced with great combat, and slowly unearthing an intriguing story. This is how to do a remake!
Motive reignites what makes Dead Space stand out in the survival-horror genre; it’s not in just the Resident Evil 4 design similarities, nor the stylistic inspirations of The Thing or Event Horizon, but the whole gestalt of soaking in so many identities while still being unique in its own right.
Dead Space is a mighty remake with improvements in every aspect: Isaac Clarke's misadventure has been completely overhauled to offer a new approach that works really well. We trust that this is only the first step towards a new way of playing horror titles.

Dead Space is a phenomenal way to relive the original, or a great starting point for those new to the series.
Dead Space is a world class remake that thrives on next-gen and remains absolutely horrifyingly brilliant. The gameplay hasn’t aged a day, it looks, feels, and plays better than ever, and the new content make this a must-buy, whether you’re new to Dead Space or you’re back for another trip to the Ishimura. I always thought Isaac Clarke deserved better and thankfully Motive’s efforts have given him a well-deserved lifeline and hope for a very promising future indeed.
Why offer a remake when the original is still rock solid? The truth is that the remake compliments the original in every way. No big changes but subtle adjustments, both story-technical and graphical. Whether you're taking a nostalgic trip or experiencing Dead Space for the first time, these improvements are a plus in both experiences. The audio plays an important role in the experience. Anyone who likes to get spooky will definitely be on the edge of their seat. After a good twelve hours of scaring, the end credits finally roll across the screen and you can breathe a sigh of relief. With this, EA delivers a masterclass in building suspense that goes hand in hand with visual splendor and a strongly driven story.

Dead Space 2023 is one of the most effective remakes I’ve seen, improving upon the original vision for the game while retaining that initial style that was ever so effective.
It says so much that Dead Space 2023 changes very little yet remains just as impressive as it was in 2008... It was a sheer pleasure to revisit one of my all-time favourites. Dead Space is a fitting tribute to a disrespected but ceaselessly beloved series.
The remake of Dead Space improves the action horror classic from 2008 in a lot of ways without negatively impacting any of the good parts.

Dead Space is an expertly crafted remake which had me hooked right until the very end. A survival horror game fan could not ask for more in this anxiety-inducing experience which has a gripping story and exciting gameplay.
EA Motive's remake of Dead Space is a fantastic update to a bonafide horror classic.
Dead Space (2023) is a benchmark for remakes, with fixes where it needed to, and small, subtle touches where it didn't, to keep it fresh and modern.
