So, if you’re wondering how the Dead Space remake compares to 2008’s original, how it compares to today’s survival horrors running on current-gen consoles, or whether it generally sets a gold standard for how to develop remakes, be sure to stick around through to the end of this Dead Space review that deep-dives into all that’s to like, love, or hate about the new game. The best ones remain faithful to the original, with only a boost in performance and gameplay to set themselves apart from today’s counterparts. Remakes often have their work cut out for them. That’s until January 27, 2023, when the franchise decided to go down memory lane and release a remake of the 2009 original Dead Space. Since 2013, Dead Space has gone into an almost decade-long hibernation period. If you don’t already know, Dead Space is a sci-fi survival horror franchise that has, under its belt, three main games, plus spin-offs, comic books, animated movies, and a lot more. Still far down the rabbit hole of packing up your stuff and heading to Mars?
