Ya boi Isaac Clarke is back in a complete remake of the original Dead Space. Seems like it goes the route of the RE2/RE3 remakes of being essentially a completely new game. Unlike The Callisto Protocol looks like they did good with this one as it's averaging an 88/89 through 51 reviews.

Noisy Pixel - 10/10
Dead Space is a brilliant and terrifying horror experience made better with this release. Everything you remember loving about the original is still here, with added quality and updates that improve it for a new generation. While playing, I could feel my muscles tense, and my hands clam up, desperately trying to use a healing item I didn't have as I nervously rounded a corner. This will likely be something I share with all who play, no matter their past with the series. But, even without the nostalgia, I can't recommend a better survival horror gaming experience than this.

GamingBolt - 10/10
Dead Space is one of the best survival horror games ever made. It takes a masterpiece of the genre and allows its biggest strengths to shine brighter than they ever have, while also improving upon it in meaningful ways with smart changes and additions.

Screen Rant - 9/10
The writing, expanded character roles, and performances never feel like they are trying too hard to make their characters feel more believable and less generic. Ultimately, all prospective players need to know is this: Motive Studios has succeeded in making the Dead Space Remake the definitive way to enjoy the first chapter of Isaac Clarke's journey.

Game Informer - 9/10
Rather than reinvent the wheel, Motive made Dead Space look nicer, play better, and preserved the core of the experience. Its new flourishes add to that enjoyment instead of subtracting. This remake respects and polishes up my memories of Isaacs first encounter with the necromorphs without making me miss the original version. It also acts as the perfect entry point for newcomers since it feels on par with todays titles. I hope this exceptional revision signals to EA that Dead Space has plenty of gas in the tank and becomes a harbinger for more horrifying stories in this universe.

Destructoid - 8.5/10
It feels great to just dive back into the USG Ishimura, though. Dead Space as a concept still holds up, and the reworking EA Motive has provided highlights its best features while shoring up old pitfalls. Sci-fi survival horror fans should get what they want out of this: the return of a classic, with gorgeous graphics and some new twists, but the same old boot-stomping good time.

Push Square - 8/10
Dead Space has been brought back in the most faithful manner possible. With the fantastic base experience still very much intact, EA Motive has expanded on it with new content, expanded areas, and more mechanics to help deliver on the vision the game's original creators had 15 years ago. Compared to more modern titles and other remakes from a similar period Dead Space disappoints with visuals that fail to justify why it's a current-gen only release. However, it's still a great game to play in 2023, and new quests and mechanics provide more than enough reason to go back to a survival horror classic.

Wccftech - 8/10
The new Dead Space is a mostly-successful revival of a survival horror landmark, offering atmospheric new visuals and a series of precision updates to combat, level layouts, and the games scary bits that ought to surprise and excite veteran engineers. That said, there was room for Motive Studio to push ever further, as some game elements still feel a bit dated. Dead Space should satisfy long-suffering fans of the franchise, but compared to the latest, greatest AAA horror competition, its no longer a cut above.

Surprised to see it's not just a copy and paste! Makes it even more damning for Callisto.

And yeah, OK, I wasn't crazy then when I said the game didn't look like a remake and just looked like a high end HD upscale. I could barely tell which was the original and which was the remake in some of those side by sides!

Pass though, I'm a coward and game is too spooky, couldn't make it through the original release's demo <_<;

Excellent to see.
