    Cons: The graphics didn't quite convince me, the game doesn't look bad but I expected a better evolution. Excess WOKE references. I felt that the game was quite easier than the original.

    Pros: The game is faithful to the original Dead Space in general, adding new mechanics. I have to say that several mechanics like Zero Gravity are taken from Dead Space 2 but they feel well implemented.

    More striking are the zero-gravity sections. [Issue#382, p.108]

    Fortunately, Dead Space does provide the player with one way to ratchet up the intensity. If combat doesn't scare you, then you can always turn on the Impossible difficulty setting where if you die once then it's game over (the remake has helpfully added the option to continue playing at reduced difficulty, the original would just delete your save entirely). I would highly recommend checking out the Impossible difficulty, even if you're not the sort that generally goes in for challenge runs, if only because it gives the game a sense of urgency and tension that it otherwise lacks.

    Dead Space is an excellent, visually stunning remake that vastly improves the original game. The PC of course is heavy and it requires a really powerful hardware in order to run at its best, but there are plenty of options that will allow you to get the best compromise when it comes to detail and performance.
