Dead Space Demake Reviews

Professional reviews from gaming critics

With Dead Space, Motive Studio has done a fantastic job however of implementing new features whilst keeping the integrity of the beloved original intact.

Simply put: It doesn’t matter if you’ve played and finished the original Dead Space or not, Motive Studio’s remake is a perfect reimagining of the franchise. This is how remakes should be, and I’m very glad Motive nailed it. Hopefully, this means that we’ll see a Dead Space 2 remake (which is the best one in the trilogy in my opinion) announced soon.

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 brings the beloved survival horror franchise into the modern day, and then some. It’s a stunning reimaging of a classic that retains what made its progenitor so special while also improving various aspects that haven’t aged well. Plus, it’s also one of the best-looking and sounding games on modern hardware.

After being burned by Resident Evil 3, I’m wary of any survival horror remake. So, I initially didn’t have high hopes for the Dead Space remake when it was announced. However, as EA Motive revealed more, I found my optimism rising. The studio stated multiple times that its prime directive was to be respectful of the source material, and it turned out better than I had hoped.

While most aspects of Dead Space's original story stay the same in the remake, specific sections of the game have been completely overhauled or readjusted. Zero gravity sections now allow free movement in space, providing some of Dead Space Remake's most jaw-dropping sequences. Added side quests and information logs offer more insight into how things began to fall apart aboard the Ishimura. More context has been added regarding the strange religion based around the Necromorphs and Isaac's relationship with his girlfriend, Nicole. The Dead Space Remake also includes surprising plot twists and a...

The Dead Space remake fixes a lot of the 2008 original's problems, but leaves a couple of big ones right where they were.

For years, we have been seeing many of our favorite titles getting remakes and remasters. However, these almost always just equate to the same experience we had originally with a few upgrades, throwback moments, and sometimes a tweak to the controls. While that is fine and fitting for a remaster, it
