I had only ever played Dead Space 3, and that was with a friend, so this was my first real introduction to the classic Dead Space. This 2023 remake is nothing short of a masterpiece for the survival horror genre. Systems which were annoying were improved significantly, the developers absolutely nailed the atmosphere and tone, the game is gorgeous, and any new features fit seamlessly into the Dead Space story. This is one of a very small list of remakes where I would whole-heartedly recommend playing it over the original.

As I said, I never played the original Dead Space, but I have really enjoyed watching others who have played it fall in love with the 2023 remake as well.

Hopefully rumors of the DS2 remake being canceled are false because I would love to see another with this level of love and care for the original.
