Dead Space has a wonderful story full of emotional moments, in addition to a fun gameplay, stage design, and an environment that exceeds beauty that contains a lot of terror, but its shortcomings are shown with the way the hero deals with events, but the stability and strength of the various game elements made this point negligible.

Dead Space wins on its top tier presentation alone, and although it can sometimes feel like that's the main contributor that's modernising the experience, there's a great novelty and appeal to some of its, should we say, relics to game design of the past. Chiefly, relics that are of a focused, directed single-player experience that don't overstay their welcome and don't manipulate the player beyond the experience itself.

With all the benefits and advantages offered by its next-gen version at 4K / 60FS and with a really immersive audio that will make us feel the real terror in every step we take looking to survive in the mythical USG Ishimura, while we enjoy a really immersive and completely immersive experience that will make the old veterans of the saga feel as if they were back home.

Dead Space Remake is masterful remake that not only improves everything it builds up upon but adds even more content, being a sure fire hit for fans.

Dead Space does a good job of being a remaster with enough changes to give enough of a challenge for returning players but also improves the scares enough that the new generation of gamers who are more used to gore will be shaking when something goes bump in the night. However, if you have played 2008 originally, it's going to be hard to justify paying full price for Dead Space in 2023. If you haven't played this game before, buy it. If you have played it before, find a sale before you buy it.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dead Space (2023) is a remake done right. Whilst there's nothing wrong with giving a classic game a lick of paint, EA Motive went a step further and Dead Space is the richer for it.

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.

EA’s remake of the 2008 title Dead Space provides the closest thing to a conclusive answer as to what a remake should be by adding incredible visuals, smart story changes, and modern gameplay updates—all while retaining the soul of the original.
