Dead Space

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Dead Space" (2023), a complete remake of the same titled legendary game from 2008, is simply put, a masterpiece. I beat this beast of a game on my PS5 once, and now i'm on my second new game plus run, but i'm 100% sure i will beat it more then twice. Its just a proof of how incredible this new game is. I loved the one back in 2008, and this new game is as good as it was back in 2008 only made for modern new gen era of video games. There are improvements made in story and some gameplay mechanics as well. But the graphics, music, acting, lighting, gore and everything else of a top notch. It is scary as hell, and atmosphere is like no other here. The sound design and effects are one of the very best - i playing with my pulls audio headphones and its just incredible to say the least.

Overall, not a single flaw i saw in "Dead Space" (2023). Its as best as survivor horror games goes - a simple survivor story in this incredible (and scary) world, Dead Space is a masterpiece in every possible way. On of the very best games i played in years and possible best survivor horror game you can find it right now.

Highly recommended.

I recently wrote a review on the Callisto Protocol and really praised the game for its simplicity. It was honestly just more of the same as we got back in the original Dead Space with a few more layers on combat so I think its a fair thing comparing both games.

Lets start by the dissonance between the two. I played both games on Medium difficulty and the differences between the two are really there. I simply cannot count the amount of deaths I got playing The Callisto Protocol, the reasons being resource management, "hand to hand" combat and overall slow pace of the game. Things I didn't get playing Dead Space (maybe I should play in a higher difficulty) I died a total of 3 times playing the game and NONE of them were from enemies, just the environment. The health system in Dead Space is really simple and doesn't put you in the edge as your heath is getting lower. Something that was criticized a lot in The Callisto Protocol, but for me, especially after the patch were it was a faster to heal, adds up another layer of "tenseness" in combat.

Now whats both games got wrong is the bosses for me, just bland to be honest. The real boss of the games is when you are crowded by enemies. But in Dead Space you just had an abundant amount of "bullets" to be spent in those moments, in Callisto you had more of a challenge controlling the swarming enemies.

Now in terms of performance, for me DS played better, more fluid, and faster without taking the heavy movements from the character. As well in frame rates, I can't recall a time were it dropped frames, but in CP it dropped a lot of times.

Both tell similar "tales" as well, nothing to be astonished by but interesting little stories.

So after this comparison I'm gonna impose a question was Callisto Protocol as bad as people say or we are just short of opinions and take the ones from other people?

Overall Dead Space was a fun, engaging and simple experience (and don't get me wrong simple is good).

I never write reviews for games on here usually, but seeing as Sony doesn't allow reviews at their place I thought I'd come here as I feel very strongly about it.

This is a faithful update indeed, the only thing it does is add to the original and that is rare these days, most remakes butcher the original and leave a scar on precious memories (I'm looking at you Saint's Row reboot)

Anyhoo, I first played DS on PC, on that EA Origin thingy, but I knew about the game for years not long after it's first release, just could never get it until many moons passed, so I got the trilogy and played thru. What an experience! I loved it, the creepy ship, the monsters, the story, all fabulous, then barely 2 years later I hear about the remaster and I'm thinking....'uh oh this can't be good' but I'll now willingly eat my words as it has proven me super wrong.

Another year is so passed until the release in January 2023 and I'm looking and hoping it's gong to be everything it was. It sure is, and more! This is a labour of love by the team, they've remade it inch by inch and added side missions and a new game plus. Not to mention the beautiful visual upgrade and the eerie sounds of the ship now in full stereo!

If you love Dead Space please add this to your library, you shall never regret it, I promise!!

I knew that dead space was a huge game in the past but due to the failure of dead space 3, the franchise died and got forgotten, but with this remake not only did it improve, but take dead space from amazing to a masterpiece game.

Before playing this game i wasn't into horror survival games but after playing this game I can pretty much say the horror survival video games got my attention.

This game is a must to play for the new audience that didn't play dead space back in the day because it's truely a amazing experience, it's also a must have for the old players because it offers new things but also being like the original, it's a game that when you play It you cant get off of it.

I hope they remake the other games aswell because the dead space franchise came back to life and showed every one that it can still rise to the top If you haven't played this game yet, what are you doing?buy it and enjoy it, its worth every single pennny.

I'm a HUGE fan of horror games, so when I heard about the Dead Space remake coming out, I was ready to get my hands on it. I patiently waited and managed to get a PS5, with God of War Ragnarök being my first game to beat. When Dead Space finally released a few days ago, I bought it right away and waited for the install.

This game is scary, people, and the combat can be challenging at times, depending on what difficulty you're playing on. I'm at normal right now and enemies still do a good number on you early on in the game. Your weapons don't do a ton of damage to start off with because you have to find upgrade nodes throughout the ship. Speaking of the ship, the entire setting of the game is beautiful. Lights flicker, steam hisses, and all the rooms are so detailed that you can use almost anything in a room as a weapon as soon as you have the ability.

The enemies are terrifying and unique. There will be points where you'll face two of the same enemies, but their behavior can be different. One will be slow and loud while the other is fast and quiet. It's very terrifying.

I put around 120 hours into the Resident Evil 2 remake and loved how much had been added to the game. Likewise, Dead Space is a remake of a classic game, but introduces new content that appeals to both newcomers and veteran fans of the series.

I give this a 10/10 and will probably be spending most of my time on this until Hogwarts Legacy. Whenever me timbers need a good shiver, I'll most likely return to this game for another round aboard the Ishimura.
