this is such a dead on tweaking of the original that it makes that original game worse in retrospect. Dead Space 2023 fills in every possible gap, playing with your expectations and adding in many more easter eggs for fans of the series. It's like a cross between ideas in REmake and RE2 remake: a little bit of gameplay tweaks here and there, a few more things brought into better focus, some tedious parts done away with, and bringing the story a lot more in line with Dead Space 2. Speaking of, I really really hope this team gets to work on DS2 next because they'll probably knock it out of the park like they did with 1, and it's my preferred game in any case. Great stuff!
