Dead Space: A Terrifying Return to the Ishimura

The Dead Space remake takes the original's eerie tale to new heights, with an atmosphere that has only been improved upon. The story remains a dark and effectively creepy exploration of a ship gone to hell after picking up a marker tied to a slimy religion. The game's layouts have also received some changes, although everything has been recreated from scratch.

New side quests offer additional story elements, which are appreciated despite the occasional backtrack required to access them. However, for those who have played the original Dead Space before, there won't be much that surprises you. While a remaster with new textures and upgraded lighting might have sufficed, Motive has done an exceptional job updating the game's visuals and design aspects.

The result is a terrifying return to the Ishimura that stands out as an exception to the rule. And who knows, there may not be another remake done as well in the future. The original Dead Space still holds up today, even though it was released back in 2008. It's unusual to see remakes of games that don't necessarily need them, but in this case, Motive has proved that sometimes a remake can be just what a game needs.
