ComingSoon's review of the Dead Space remake explains how it intelligently improves upon the original, leading to a better, scarier game.
has drifted aimlessly in space since 2013 after Electronic Arts unceremoniously severed its umbilical cable. It died on its worst entry, one plagued by bloat, a lopsided appetite for action, and a ridiculous ending that was both too silly and not silly enough. It was almost a mercy killing, but still a premature one at that. A remake of the original was the smartest way to reset the franchise, and that’s the route Motive Studio went down with its 2023 remake.
The newfound interconnectivity works with the optional objectives in order to add to and enhance what was already there. While its destroyed corridors and blood-soaked walls were always memorable, being able to run back and forth and see how it all connects together givesgames have. Familiarity and interwoven level design are a big reason that the Raccoon City Police Department and Spencer Mansion are some of the best video game settings.
These tweaks allow for the strategic dismemberment at the core to shine more brightly since it is a deeply satisfying mechanic that almost flawlessly aligns with the tenets of survival horror. Having to make precise choices under pressure is a hallmark of horror, andgamifies that feeling and turns it into an endlessly rewarding micro-gameplay loop.
