You’ll go from point to point, finding an item to further your quest while having to manage your health and ammo supplies as they are constantly being depleted by the game’s cosmic horrors. If you’ve played any Resident Evil, Silent Hill, or even recent titles like Tormented Souls, you’ll know the general flow of the game. As the series went on, there was an emphasis on action over horror and one of my initial worries about the remake was it was going to copy the missteps of the latter titles rather than the purer survival horror roots of the original. The gameplay in Dead Space Remake remains relatively unchanged from the original which is a good thing. They made me want to see what had been added. While they do provide some rewards, they offer a lot more lore and depth to the events set in place and felt substantial enough that I felt compelled to see them through despite being somewhat familiar with the original story. While it previously took until Dead Space 2 to see what effect the events of Dead Space 1 and The Marker had on him, now you can see the weight just pouring out of him as he slowly questions his sanity.Īnother major addition is the inclusion of side quests. There are also subtle changes to his disposition as the game progresses. While it may seem like a rather small addition, it adds a lot to the narrative in that Issac will often give his input and suggest some of the insane suicide missions he puts himself through with reasoning rather than just blindly following an objective marker. Gamers familiar with Dead Space will know that the Necromorph had his tongue in the original. The first thing you’ll notice is that Issac Clark speaks this time around. What it does do is tweaks the way it’s presented and adds a little more depth to further what was already a fantastic story. It’s a story that makes you question who the real monsters are.ĭead Space Remake doesn’t change the overall narrative of the original game. Dead Space thrusts you into a story that goes a little further than just surviving and takes notes from the classic franchise Alien with corruption and even a cult at the helm. Twisted monsters called Necromorphs roam the halls and Nicole is nowhere to be found. The USG Ishimura lies in ruin, covered in blood and organic material that can’t be explained. Not long after landing, Issac and his team soon realize something has gone wrong. Nicole sends Issac a worrying message and he gets enlisted with a team to check in on the ship. And perhaps it will prove just why people continue to support Electronic Arts after all this time.ĭead Space is the story of Issac Clark, an engineer whose girlfriend Nicole had taken up a post on the spaceship USG Ishimura. Now years later, this title once again is getting a chance to reshape the landscape in 2023, with the Dead Space Remake. It gave new life to the Survival Horror genre which was starting to stagnate and was shockingly out of character for EA who’d started drifting more and more into multiplayer titles. Dead Space was an unexpected treat when it was originally released.
