    Dead Space is a shot-for-shot recreation of the original that manages to recapture the 2008 game as you want to remember it — meaning it’s actually better than ever.

    Dead Space (2023) deserves to be a sample of what we call a good remake. While inheriting the merits of the original work, it managed to completely improve the shortcomings like frustrating control and weapon balances. As a title that will be the cornerstone of the series' reboot, the game successfully made us look forward to the future.

    This Dead Space remake was done exactly how any remake should be. It was brought to life in a new engine with updated mechanics while staying true to the source material, and it looks beautiful when you play it. The combat, the exploration, the side quests, everything was meticulously put together in this remake to make it better than the original. It makes you wonder how long it will take for Dead Space 2 and 3 to be remade.

    Dead Space Remake manages to stay faithful to the already very successful original game and adapts it beautifully to the present day with the changes made.

    Whether you're indoctrinated or a neophyte, there's a place for you in this blood vessel that looks like a ghost train, because yes, Dead Space is scarier than ever.

    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.

    The Dead Space remake is a brilliant shooter that delivers horrific body horror and satisfying gunplay, but spices up the familiar elements with new weapons and frights.

    Un bon jeu, mais mal optimisé.
    Beaucoup trop de Stuttering et une mauvaise utilisation de la puissance du PC.
    Graphiquement très propre
