After responding to a distress signal, you find the hulking planet cracker-class ship floating lifelessly above the planet of Aegis VII. The basic beats that make up the original game's narrative remain intact, starting with your fateful arrival on the USG Ishimura. These improvements begin with its story, which has been expanded via a number of alterations to both its characters and storytelling. Remaking Dead Space in 2023 may not feel especially necessary, but EA Motive has crafted a game that manages to improve upon its excellent progenitor in a variety of ways-even if only marginally so. And after reaching the end credits myself, I'm still not entirely convinced it needs to either, yet I'm extremely happy it does.
That might be a cynical viewpoint, but it's no less valid. The remake's leap in graphical fidelity breathes new life into its stifling horror, but public discourse has centered on whether it really needs to exist in the first place. There's very little that feels dated about its design, and the strategic dismemberment that forms the basis of its combat still offers a unique and gory thrill that's yet to be replicated. The original 2008 game is a modern classic that holds up exceedingly well by today's standards. 14 years is a long time in the video games industry, yet it still doesn't feel like quite long enough for EA’s Dead Space.
