alright this game is a vastly step up from the previous game legitimately
I say this as some one who didn't like the last game and doesn't care for disney starwars in general due to how they've just completely ruined it but here now this game is good
the lightsaber multitool the movement the fights it feels like something that came out of 2003 some of the writing falls flat but a lot of it actually works
it had a twist I genuinely didn't see coming after a twist that I saw that was extremely blatant
it obviously ends with another cliffhanger and it's insanely clear they want to make a 3rd game
I'm not mentioning the performance as i expected this and it's always gonna be subjective how these games run at launch I've seen videos where it's borderline unplayable and i get it i do
it's annoying and shouldn't be done but it didn't happen to me ideally i wished it was stable as this game is pretty fucking good

this game is very hard for me to formulate an opinion on I love the original to death and I think this game is unneeded I don't think the original is that old that it requires a remake however yes I do like the "seamless" transitions however they bring a lot of dead space 2 vent hallway loading areas to mind
I think the weapon changes were uneeded the contact beam did not need a new primary fire and the line gun mines didn't need to be lasers other than some writing changes regarding some side characters in the original the story hasn't changed to such a degree it's unrecognizable
but I don't really see an advantage of playing this over the original unless you really wanna hear gunner wright be the best voice actor in the game.
there's a lot more I could go into really such as the removal of the turret section (seriously it wasn't that hard or bad people just suck at aiming) kinesis being sidelines even further the dead space 2 zero g controls. but it's mostly intact from dead space 2008 so I really can't complain. I'm just hoping that it ends here nobody from the original games are working at this studio as EA owns the IP I don't want a dead space 2 remake please do not make one. Remake extraction if you want to go ahead all the assets are here make it a game like this and I don't think the people at EA know how to make dead space 4 I wouldn't trust them with it.
