Dead Space (2023) Reviews
The Dead Space remake improves on the 2008 original in every category with significantly upgraded graphics, gameplay, and more.
Ultimately, Dead Space is a game that a lot of horror developers can learn from when it comes to creating suspense and a feeling of dread in its players. And as far as remakes go, Dead Space has me thoroughly pining over a decade-old series. That’s a success, if you ask me.
Dead Space Remake is damn good fun, with interesting ideas and appreciation of the greater franchise that most remakes lack. This isn’t some studio trying to massively reinvent an IP, but working to fit the best pieces together so it can grow anew. It's a fitting tribute to Visceral's best days - maybe not a perfect rendition, but few cover songs ever are.
An excellent remake of a not-quite-classic survival horror, that nevertheless makes a convincing argument for the continuation of the series.
The Dead Space remake is a brilliant shooter that once again delivers gruesome body horror and satisfying gunplay, but spices up the familiar elements with new weapons and frights.
Dead Space is one of the best survival horror games ever made, and one of the greatest remakes of all time. It takes a masterpiece of the genre and allows its biggest strengths to shine brighter than they ever have, while also improving upon it in meaningful ways with smart changes and additions. Motive Studio has delivered an instant classic and a true giant of the genre.
Although this might have been (or hoped to have been) the expected outcome by fans, it does bring to light the idea that the horror genre is the ideal candidate for the remake treatment.
It feels excellent to be back in the world of Dead Space.
Dead Space (2023) is a worthy remake that leaves EA's classic sci-fi horror adventure almost untouched and adds a number of upgrades for space-exterminator Isaac Clarke, his harrowing tale and the menacing undead that keep fingers on triggers at all times.
The Dead Space Remake severs the bar to raise it.
The Dead Space remake sets a new standard for the future of the survival horror series, even if it isn't the sequel I've been pining for.
Dead Space is a visually stunning remake that is both faithful to the original, and modernises what it needs to. The remake naturally looks significantly better than the original, but it's the addition of voice acting for Isaac and the more natural dialogue this produces which is the most effective update here. The game isn't without its lulls but the overall experience is just as thrilling as it was 15 years ago.
Dead Space returns with a remake that knows well how to improve the original game. Newcomers can now play the best version of the beloved survival horror classic.

This is the Dead Space you remember but with a brilliant new sheen, luxuriously improved in small but considered ways. Comfortably familiar, but excellent nonetheless.
Dead Space has been brought back in the most faithful manner possible.
Today, more than ever, Dead Space is an unmissable game for both fans of the genre and fans of the 2008 original.

Motive Studio's Dead Space is a horror remake done right.
Some changes in the remake work better than others, but the important thing is that, like the original, it’s survival horror at its best and a worthy successor to the beloved series.
