You know, it's almost disappointing how good this remake is. I really wanted to hate it, call it terrible, say mean gamer words on the internet, etc. But no, unfortunately, EA, the same company that slaughtered the IP in tribute to the almighty dollar in the first place, has somehow coughed out an incredibly faithful remake that not only enhances the original game, but supersedes in nearly every category.

There's definitely a couple of strange choices in some of the new story direction, one of the armor sets in the second half of the game looks like an MCU villain, etc. Overall I would call most of the changes either better, or just different, with very little being straight up worse... minus the handling one 1 character. But the gameplay is refined with exploration at its best in the series, the new visuals enhance the gameplay with you being able to now SEE how far down a limb you are, the upgrades to your arsenal are fantastic... it goes on. I could go into detail but plenty of others have already done so.

I don't think it quite beats out Dead Space 2 for me, but it got as close as anything has ever gotten. Fantastic stuff.

Shoutouts to Callisto Protocol. Gave this game the biggest advertisement it could have ever given it, by being so incredibly mid it made people pine for Dead Space again.
