Motive Studio has done the unthinkable with Dead Space. It’s easily one of the best modern horror games, and the fresh lick of paint to really bring its grimy, snarling interpretation of sci-fi horror into sharp new relief is very welcome, especially when it maintains such faith in the source material. It can’t be overstated just how much a Dead Space remake always seemed like a sure thing, and after my time with it, that perspective hasn’t changed.

Its new flourishes add to that enjoyment instead of subtracting. Rather than reinvent the wheel, Motive made Dead Space look nicer, play better, and preserved the core of the experience. As it stands, however, the game has been immensely enjoyable and is a must-recommend so far, providing us with hours of gruesome, deadly fun in the void of space. Unfortunately, due to a late game code, we could only gather first impressions of the game based on the first few chapters. While a fine piece of craft and a sumptuous reworking of the setting, EA Motive's Dead Space remake sheds a little of the 2008 game's enchantment.
