Dead Space

Taken as a whole, Motive Studio's Dead Space remake is an unmitigated success that builds upon its predecessor's story in small yet meaningful ways. It both looks and sounds phenomenal, and the Necromorphs at the heart of the horror-action still remain one of the medium's most bone-chilling adversaries ever. It's been a long time coming, but Dead Space is finally back... to make us whole again.

One of the most influential horror games of all time returns to show us all how it's done. 15 years later, Dead Space asserts its place at the top.

Upon its release, Dead Space set new standards for creativity and atmosphere in the realm of AAA action-horror gaming. Its legacy is still felt even to this day, but does the first installment in the late, great franchise still have what it takes to scare your pants off almost a decade after its original release?

Dead Space is a remarkable achievement in design on all fronts. A loving and intelligent remake that reminds players of what has been lost in AAA games and what can be found again if you just know where to look.

Call it science fiction survival horror, but Dead Space does the genre proud with an engaging story; action that's tense, fast-paced and extremely violent; as well as atmospheric qualities that will get under your skin and make you jump.

Remakes can be somewhat of a touchy subject nowadays. While many are welcomed with open arms, others can have their very existence called into question. There isn't too much of a middle ground between the two extremes, so EA must have been elated to see Dead Space fans jumping for joy when it announced the 2008 survival horror classic is coming back on PS5. Fast forward roughly 18 months and EA Mo...

Dead Space is a superb survival horror romp that's guaranteed to scare.

I should know, because I just played the original for the fir...

The Dead Space series was cancelled a decade ago after three instalments, at a time EA was convinced games-as-a-service were the future. But it turns out single-player blockbusters are still in demand (see also upcoming Star Wars sequel Jedi: Survivor), and there’s plenty of interest in sci-fi horror, as seen by spiritual successor The Callisto Protocol. Better sound the remake klaxon, then.
