An excellent remake of one of the best games of all time.

They really nailed everything they could, fixing the small issues of the original and bringing the experience up to current standards. The addition of small side quests (which are just excuses to back track certain sections) coupled with the redeveloped maps and rooms help make the Ishimura feel like an actual ship, filled with enemies, surprises and loot.

Enemy design and combat is top notch, imo better than in the original game. In the remake it feels much more fluid and snappy, while in the original Isaac felt clunkier, which helped make the player feel more helpless. For some people that might be a bad thing, as this game feels a bit more "actiony" in a sense, but it's still very challenging and the survival horror elements are stronger than ever.

It looks and sounds amazing, while also running quite well, so props to the dev team for releasing a great PC version.

One can always debate if DS really needed a remake, but I think the end result is amazing and will hopefully bring the series back into life.
