Certain sections of Dead Space have gotten a facelift, while new sidequests and areas become a fresh surprise for those returning to relive the best kind of torment.Īt the core of it all is the Frostbite engine, with every texture, animation, effect, and enemy behaviour all benefiting from a more modern engine. That is not all, as Motive Studio has also gone under the hood when it comes to gameplay and narrative, adding in bits and pieces of lore to flesh out further the unfortunate demise of the USG Ishimura and its crew, the Marker, and everyone’s favourite fleshy monstrosities that are the Necromorphs. The developers have built on the already solid foundations of the original, ushering in a terrifyingly enjoyable time that is powered by enhanced audio together with elevated and stunning visuals, all designed to capture players in a vice-like grip of neverending survival horror pleasure. While there is always the option of replaying the game that started it all, the Dead Space remake is, without a doubt, the best and recommended way to step into the boots of Clarke.

The setup is straightforward enough to get anyone remotely interested in the genre to sit up and take notice, but it is everything else that truly makes this remake such a stellar return to the series.
