After almost a decade since the last new entry, we can return to the universe of Dead Space.
Developer Motive Studios and publisher Electronic Arts have completely rebuilt the original game and the results are stellar.

Bigger changes come in the structure of the USG Ishimura itself and how players navigate.
The effect this change has on the flow of the game really can’t be overstated.
Gore drips from desiccated bodies and blood coats Isaac’s shiny armor after any close-up fights.
Lights flicked and bounce across the cold metallic surfaces of the USG Ishimura.
Playing on Xbox Series X, there are two modes available: Quality and Performance.
Quality mode runs the game at 4K with ray-tracing but caps the framerate at 30 FPS.
The new Peeling system ramps up the gore even further than anything seen in the series so far.
Necromorphs aren’t just burned or cut apart.
Instead, your weapons shred, disembowel, and flay them alive.
It’s gorgeous and gruesome all at once.
The audio design of the game is also excellent.
Should you play the Dead Space remake?
After going through the Dead Space remake, I’m impressed.
The main sticky point is the price.
