The "Dead Space" remake has been praised for its engaging and expanded story, which retains the core narrative of the original while introducing new elements, side missions, and character depth. Players appreciate the addition of a voiced protagonist, Isaac Clarke, which enhances the emotional weight of the story and makes interactions feel more organic. While some minor changes to character arcs and plot points have sparked debate among fans, the overall consensus is that the remake successfully revitalizes the original's narrative, making it more cohesive and immersive for both new players and returning fans.
“The remake adds thrilling and valuable additions to the story that do not detract from the experience.”
“The story unfolds like a gripping sci-fi thriller, with unexpected twists and turns.”
“The additions to the gameplay and storytelling do so much for an already fantastic game that revolutionized the horror genre.”
“By the end, the sense of relief was more about the game finally concluding than the resolution of the story.”
“The only part I would say that is a downgrade is the story; some of the points like Chen and Isaac's mother felt hastily put together last minute and really needed more screen time for you to care about them.”
“The story is a mess.”

Dead Space is a remarkable game, and surely one of the bigger surprises that will come out of 2023. EA Motive has done a great job in remaking one of the best horror games from the mid-to-late 2000s era; going as far as making certain segments feel wholly new again. As a player who never played the original, this remake feels like the definitive introduction to the franchise. I’m clamoring for more of Isaac’s story, and even perhaps beyond.
