It is hard for me to find the right words for Dead Space.
Back then I think I liked it more than the Remake.
Why is that so? I don't really know to be honest. I think it's fair to say that the World of Videogames has evolved since then and I have, too.
Dead Space has not. At least not much. Which may be a good thing if you a are fan of the original.
But to me it was a lot of backtracking. Over and over again. It took me ~ 15 hours to beat. After 8 hours I had the feeling I have seen almost everything.. some things repeat over and over. And by then you already know exactly when the enemy will spawn from behind and when they throw 6-7 enemies at you.
And at this point I was quite fed up with Ishimuras design (steel, darkness and flickering lights for almost 15 hours).
Sure: If you love SciFi-Horror this may be perfect for you.
But to me it was more of the same, over and over again.

Don't get me wrong: The graphics are absolutely up to date and the sound is amazing.
They did a good job bringing an PS3/360 Game into 2023.
But I think I had a wrong idea of what to expect here. In the end I think I have changed my taste of games over the last couple of years so that Dead Space is not my IP anymore.
I have high hopes for RE4 and SH2. They will be more up my alley.
