The Necromorphs themselves are rendered even grosser than ever, largely thanks to the significant step-up in visuals.

People are suddenly transforming into deformed monsters, and the race is on to escape the ship before they succumb to the same fate.

What begins as a routine repair job quickly descends into a gory and grotesque nightmare, as he and the rest of his small team realise that the ship’s crew is afflicted with a viral outbreak. And over a decade later, Isaac’s hellish mission aboard the Necromorph-ridden USG Ishimura is just as thrilling, with subtle changes improving on an already near-perfect experience.įor the uninitiated, Dead Space primarily tells the story of Isaac Clarke, an everyday space engineer tasked with mending one of humanity’s best planet-cracking vessels, the USG Ishimura. Such sentiment runs through every aspect of this much prettier (but equally bleak) remake of the iconic 2008 survival horror. Whether it was simply scrolling through my inventory, selling items at the in-game store, or speaking to other crew members via the intercom, every beep, woosh, and chirp sounded exactly as I remembered.

Now, this might sound a tad strange, but I knew I was in safe hands with the Dead Space remake as soon as I heard the menu sound effects.
